There's something about food that just makes us happy. It could be the way it looks, smells, or tastes. Or maybe it's the memories we associate with certain dishes. Whatever the reason, we can all agree that food is one of life's greatest joys. That's why we're always on the lookout for new and exciting recipes to try. Whether it's a complicated dish from a Michelin-starred chef or a simple comfort food from our childhood, we're always looking to add new tastes to our repertoire. Of course, there are some foods that are just universally loved. Dishes like pizza and ice cream have a special place in our hearts (and stomachs). No matter how many times we've had them, we can't help but crave them again and again. So what is it about food that makes us love it so much? Is it the way it makes us feel? The memories it brings back? The taste? We may never know for sure. But one thing is for sure: food will always have a special place in our lives.
A quick post to celebrate the arrival of Autumn and the passing of yet another summer. This one is a variation of my November 2019 post, bread baked then to welcome the arrival of that year's CSA organic grain harvest share.

If you’re looking to go on a cruise in 2021, the chances are you will be disappointed. Julian’s parents had their July 2021 cruise cancelled back in September, so the cruise companies are obviously not planning to run any time soon.This year we had a lot of guests who were new to The 25 and Torquay come and stay with us as their cruise holiday had been cancelled. Next year too we have lots of guests already booked in who usually take an annual luxury cruise but don’t want to risk it being cancel
It’s surprising how many of our guests say it’s the first time they’ve ever stayed in a B&B. Nothing like starting at the top and setting the bar high I suppose.I thought I could offer some advice to anyone else who’s in the same boat and wanted to know what to expect. Here’s my top ten things to note…1. WelcomeB&Bs will be personally run and the owners will usually live on site as it’s their home too. This means you’re not just a room number to them and they will be genuinely interested in you.
It’s very easy to fill a week using Torquay as your base. Here’s a few ideas. I’ve kept the descriptions quite short but added lots of links to my other blogs with more info on each or to the actual websites of the places mentioned. Have fun exploring and you’ll soon see why any less than three or four days is impossible to fit everything in. Day OneAs it’s your first day, why not stay local and check out your surroundings on foot. Maybe walk to the thatched village of Cockington and explore the
It’s always interesting to ask our guests how they found out about us. Sometimes there are obvious ways like they’ve looked up the number one ranked bed and breakfast in Torquay on TripAdvisor. Other times though they may have searched for something completely different and come across us in some other way.If you look for a bed and breakfast with parking in Torquay then you’re quite likely to come across us. There’s a mix of B&B in Torquay with and without car parks. Some of the Victorian terrac
There are benefits to self-isolating during the C-19 crisis, one of which is I’m finally getting through the pile of things in my tray, some of which have been there for nearly five years! One such project was producing a handy leaflet for our guests on Agatha Christie.Christie is the best-selling novelist of all time.
