Lunch At Toby Carvery

AD - Invited. 

We are big fans of Toby carvery, it has been a few months since we last visited so we were long overdue a visit. And let's be honest at this time of year when the weather is cold and miserable you just can't beat a nice carvery with lashings of gravy. So we headed to our local one in Shiremoor, North Tyneside on Thursday for lunch.

Afternoon Tea With Santa At Wyevale Garden Centre Gosforth

AD - Invited. 

Edit - Wyevale garden centre Gosforth has been taking over and is now a British Garden Centre. 

This year I am so excited for Christmas as it is the first year my little two (aged 3 & 4) have properly understood what Christmas is all about. They have already written their Christmas lists for Santa, they keep asking when we can put the Christmas tree up and they are amazed by the twinkling lights from the shopping centre decorations. They truly believe in Santa and the magic of Christmas and it is heart-warming to watch. 

Crepe Affaire Newcastle Review

AD - Invited. 

Tucked away on the ground floor in Eldon Square near the escalators is Crepe Affaire, a small and very modern looking Creperie serving a selection of sweet and savoury French crepes. This week Crepe Affaire is celebrating its first birthday in Eldon Square and to celebrate they will randomly be handing out vouchers for a free crepe to ten purchasing customers per day during its Birthday week (this week). They will also be handing out a free glass of prosecco to all customers who place a crepe order after 5pm this Thursday (23rd November) too. 

Starting The Day With Ready Brek & Despicable Me 3

AD - Paid Post. 

Now that it is winter and the mornings are cold and frosty we have been starting the day with a nice warming bowl of Ready Brek. I fondly remember having Ready Brek for breakfast when I was a child and now my own children enjoy it for breakfast too. Packed full of vitamins and minerals and only containing natural ingredients it is the perfect way to start the day before school. 

Behind The Scenes At McDonald's

AD - Paid Post. 

Last week I was invited to McDonald's Silverlink to go behind the scenes and see what new changes they are making to the restaurants, and also to make my very own Big Mac! 

We were greeted at the store by franchisee Bill who was the 6th McDonald's franchise owner here in the UK and now has several branches here in the North East, including the Silverlink branch which has the busiest drive-thru in the North East. Bill employs over 600 people here in the North East, and funnily enough my partner actually worked for Bill and the store manager Simon many years ago when he was a teenager at the Silverlink branch.
