What a treat today as Nene Valley Spirits opened its doors as Peterborough’s first micro-distillery in the Nene Valley region, offering handcrafted, premium gin in small batches. Jo, Leigh, Abi and Shelley are located in the newly renovated Artisan Courtyard area at Sacrewell Farm and Country Park. A place where more small businesses will be located - a great idea. It's an extra treat today as it's Christmassy with Santa's sleigh and cottage just around the corner, a large Christmas tree in the courtyard and I was lucky enough to spy a peacock wandering around too. Anyway enough of

Nothing Beats Chocolate

2020-11-04T16:53:04+00:00November 4th, 2020|Chocolate Heaven, Christmas, General, News, Shopping|

Looking for a few early Christmas presents I went up to the newly-opened (well 10 weeks ago) Stamford Heavenly Chocolates new shop at Sacrewell Farm. Tucked away in the corner of Sacrewell Farm's new Courtyard area, it looks a very nice improvement on their Stamford location. The waft of sweetness hits you as you walk in the shop and you're greeted with an array of chocolate items everywhere along with a bit of sparkle, a Christmas tree, a reindeer and of course a Santa Claus! Ho, Ho, Ho. They've now got lots of space which includes a huge area

Wow how amazed can you be!!! I’ve never been into Lush (Queensgate, Peterborough) because I thought it was just perfumed soaps... how wrong can you be! I was met by Florence and Georgia (Store Mgr) who I have to say are sooooo knowledgable about every single product and I’ve just learnt about all of them. Throughout their opening day they will running workshops on making your own products and also through the coming weeks ahead. The shop is larger and looks wonderful with yoghurt pot shelving and reclaimed wood cabinets for their products ...all created by using waste products.

Thursday at 8.55am and I'm waiting with a few more people to enter into John Lewis, I'm awaiting the opening of the Ori Caffe, but I can finally see inside the main upper floor doors to John Lewis's beauty area and I must say it's a hive of activity......lots of staff bustling around, radios in hand, tidying and sorting with a few last minute checks and then Ta Da! 9am and the roller goes up.... as we walk in all the staff are looking at us! Little did I know that I was actually walking into their main undressing of

Day 19 of 30 Days in May Challenge: Cambridge If you are looking for a day away that’s not too far away, then why not Cambridge?We chose this as actually, it’s our wedding anniversary so we wanted a treat. I’d seen Enchanted Cinema were opening their season with ‘A Star Is Born’ and wanted to try an open-air cinema experience without going all the way to London and also not sitting in a car draining the battery. So here we are....The buildings are simply stunning wherever you look. Old-fashioned winding streets, decorative cornices, and peculiar statues. A photography heaven

Day 9 of 30 Days In May Challenge: Fashion Tonight I spent a lovely couple of hours at the Fashion & Fizz evening at John Lewis raising awareness and funds for Sue Ryder. The fashion show was held in the coffee shop where a host of ladies with their complimentary Prosecco or orange juice were eagerly waiting to see what’s on trend for the summer. Victoria from Thorpe Hall Sue Ryder introduces us to the fundraising they do there. Courtney then introduced us to some summer fragrances. Dolce & Gabana - Light Blue for her and him: Fresh and

Day 5 of 30 Days of May Challenge Fashion. So we're in Queensgate Peterborough today as they continue their 'Summer in the City' event which is all about good old New York and fashion. I’m afraid that Ferne McCann isn’t here today, she was here yesterday for the event - gutted that we've personally missed her, but if you were there - then great. Bring the kids down and you can have selfies wherever you like today - we’ve got the Statue of Liberty making a personal appearance - she’s all in green and she’ll be quite happy to put a
