I first found out about Cake International a few years ago and have wanted to visit ever since. The Birmingham show is the longest running and features entrants from all over the world in the cake decorating categories. This is a show all about hard-core cake decorating and sugarcraft. Not for the faint hearted who don’t like …

Modern life can be fast paced. Sometimes you need 24-48 hours disconnected from it to appreciate the simple things in life.

Those of you who have read this blog for a while will know that we love a good staycation and don’t often go to run of the mill places while holidaying in the UK. 2010 was the fabulous Woodland Tipi & Yurts in Hereford, 2011 the quirky Dapper Camping Club in Brecon and this year …
