Food Festival: British Food Festival
Travelling in and out of Windsor I see a lot of advertisements for events happening in the area. I spotted the British Food Festival been advertised. Checking the website I was appealed, when telling my Dad and Michelle we decided to go. Arriving inside Windsor Racecourse there was a less cars then I expected. No ques to get in. When through the ticket barrier, the area was quiet with not many people walking around. I think this was because the weather forecast was poor and it was currently rainy. Moving around we were… Read More
Happy 4th July!
Today is 4th July, Independence Day in America, it is the day where you celebrate the Independence of America which happened on this date in 1776. I’m lucky enough to have celebrated this day in America. Talking and listening to American’s you realise what this day means to them. You see the patriotism that comes out of them, how proud they feel to be American. I love that about the country, living in England you don’t see it, unless it’s sport related. It’s not just the patriotism it’s the food and drink… Read More

Restaurant Review: Cattle Grid, Windsor
Today was my first day in my new job. It’s based in the historic town of Windsor. Short few steps away from Windsor Castle where the Queen and Prince Philip stay at. The town is busy and filled with tourists. I’ve been to Windsor a few times, with family wandering around the centre. Stayed there and witnessed my Dad and his wife Michelle marry. Entering my new job I was told I was heading out to lunch. One of the girls had booked a restaurant called Cattle Grid Steak House. Walking inside… Read More
