Taqueria, London

For a Mother's Day treat my mum and I went to London to visit the V&A, and then I took her out for a meal at Taqueria in Notting Hill. There were some amazing exhibits at the museum; our favourites were the jewellery through the ages one, especially the display of rings with different gemstones, and the theatre and performance one, where you could see the horse puppet used in War Horse, and there was so much cool memorabilia!I'd been to Taqueria...

The Cottage Kitchen, St Andrews

Kind Kyttock's Kitchen, Falkland

On our trip to St Andrews, my parents wanted to take us for a post walk lunch at a tea room they had discovered on their last visit. I pointed and laughed at the name "Kind Kyttock's Kitchen" (it sounds like somewhere old fashioned, serving dry cake and tea) before realising that that's where we were heading! I'm glad to say though that my first impressions were completely wrong!Kyttock's IS old fashioned, but in a sweet, quaint way rather than a...
