Lasan – A jewel in Birmingham’s food crown
It makes me totally ashamed, as a foodie, to admit that, until yesterday, I had never tried the fragrant delights of Lasan, the restaurant judged by Gordon Ramsey to be the best local restaurant in the UK. Well, it is safe to say that although this was my first visit, it will most definitely not be my last. The food, service and setting were all, quite simply, perfection. Lasan is situated just off Birmingham’s St Paul’s Square. The restaurant has a cool, contemporary decor with large picture windows helping the light to flood in. There are a selection of tables of varying sizes, certainly making this a wonderful place to…

I always love the chance to spend some quality time with my little boy, and this half term we have a very special visitor.

The SAG Awards 2015 – The Key Looks
I sat up late last night, with the TV switched to the E! Channel, ready for ‘Live from the Red Carpet’ coming direct from the SAG Awards. I must admit I love the SAG Awards as the style is usually a little more laid back than other Awards season events, with celebrities more likely to take a bit of a risk. But for the first hour last night, I was bored, and a bit horrified by the style on display. There were just so many ill-fitting dresses, in materials that could only be described as highly-flammable looking. Ladies who I usually hold in high esteem, like the gorgeous Julianna Margulies,…
