Or at least trying to. Having sussed out an isolated loo for her daily turding needs weeks ago, she wasn’t accustomed to having […]

Let’s remind ourselves why we’re so obsessed with seafood in the first place… In London, god love her, seafood is not at our fingertips. It’s either served in expensive fish restaurants where the lobster costs more than your i-phone, or in overpriced italian pasta dishes like Tagliatelle a la marinara and Vongole.
