On my recent trip to Cornwall I visited the fishing village of Polperro. I last visited about thirty years ago as a child but still remember the town. It hasn’t changed much over the last three decades. To be honest it hasn’t changed much for the last three centuries I should imagine! Steve and IRead more
It’s been a pretty quiet week here at Tara’s Busy Kitchen HQ. I have been tying up lots of loose ends and finishing posts. This isn’t to say I haven’t squeezed in a few foodie delights. I managed to get myself down to the farmers market. I hadn’t been in weeks what with various tripsRead more
I was lucky enough to have been asked by Quicke’s Cheese if I would like to be involved in the process of making some of their wonderful cheddar cheese. Of course I jumped at the chance! Who wouldn’t? I caught a bus out to the farm to be ready to start at 7am! An earlyRead more
Steve and I stumbled across The Dwelling House on a boiling hot bank holiday Monday in Fowey. We had just arrived and settled ourselves into our Bed and Breakfast when tummy rumbles started happening. We took the short walk from our B&B, the Foye Old Exchange, into the town centre. We wanted somewhere that weRead more
The dance school that I teach for in Exeter had their bi-annual show last weekend which meant a lot of hard work. We had been rehearsing since Christmas and I had choreographed a number of dances.

Steve and I visited Fat Cap and Brisket on a busy Tuesday night during the half term holidays. After doing a little bit of research on the restaurants and pubs in Fowey this came out top of places that I wanted to visit. The menu looked enticing plus they try and source most of their ingredientsRead more
A massive part of my week has been based in Fowey in Cornwall. The weather was fantasic which added to the amazing few days I spent exploring a little bit of Cornwall. Steve had organised this trip as a birthday present for me and it was just what I needed. A break away from the normal routineRead more
We stumbled across Pintxo when we took a wrong turning whilst trying to find our Bed & Breakfast in Fowey. I am so glad we did. As soon as we drove past I said to Steve “Look, a tapas bar. We have to go there!” I immediately put it on the list of places to visit.Read more
Last Friday night I was lucky enough to get invited to the launch of Bedboat Magazine‘s issue 3. Held at the new static venue of Camper Coffee in the Real McCoy Arcade on Fore Street in Exeter. I got myself “dolled up” and headed down with Steve on my arm. I have followed and readRead more
