Beaulieu Chocolate Studio Amaretti Chocolate Bar

Beaulieu Chocolate Studio creations are not a newbie to the blog and I have already reviewed two bars, Pistachio and Forest Fruits. This time it is the turn of the Beaulieu Chocolate Studio Amaretti Chocolate Bar Nestled in the New Forest they create contemporary and local speciality chocolates which are all hand-made using fresh and where possible local ingredients. The store itself is divided into two halves, one where the magic happens and the chocolate is made, and the other the store.

Afternoon Tea at Vertigo 42

As restrictions are being relaxed I wanted to share my little afternoon tea trip that I took back in February, which feels a lifetime ago! Despite my love of afternoon tea I’ve never had one in London. However that changed after the lovely team I work with surprised me with Afternoon Tea at Vertigo 42. Booking through Groupon was easy peasy, and it was recommended to book promptly so not to miss out on your preferred date, however there were ample to choose from. A train, a couple of tubes and a short walk and you arrive at quite the…
