About 6 months ago I moved to Milton Keynes, and while I’ve spent years and years visiting here, I’m not massively familiar with the area. Growing up I always thought of Milton Keynes as just the shopping centre or the cinema, it’s only over the last few years I’ve discovered more than just shopping, and since I’ve moved I’m enjoying finding more independent restaurants and cafes than the chain restaurants I’ve been to for years. 

Recently I saw another Milton Keynes blogger, Amanda Alston, talk about a visit to Fourth & Fifth on her Instagram, and after she recommended the pancakes to me I just had to go along and try these out.

A few months back I was invited to visit Bills in St Albans for the launch of an exciting makeover they’d recently had. I wrote about it back in my post then, but I’m a huge fan of Bills, and I frequently visit just for the halloumi and pink lemonade, and their makeover was truly glorious. In addition to their makeover, they’ve recently added a ‘secret garden’ to their restaurant, perfect if you want to enjoy some food and drinks with your friends in an outdoor secluded location. Deciding that’s exactly what I’ll do, I took along my friend Alison, so we could have a good natter and explore the new secret garden at Bills.

Oh I do love going out to eat, and I love it even more when I have friends who like to do the same. My good friend Kate and I like to meet up every few months over good food, and catch up on life, and she first introduced me to Bills in St Albans about a year ago and I was immediately hooked on the pink lemonade and halloumi burgers. Recently Bills has had bit of a makeover, and of course me and Kate had to go check it out.

I live about 20 minutes away from the town of St Albans, a gorgeous city full of adorable coffee shops and amazing looking restaurants, all of which I want to explore more of. And last week I was invited along to experience one of St Albans newest Thai restaurants, Busaba, and was invited to their launch night, doesn’t that sound fancy?

I’ve always been a girl who loves her food, but recently I’ve had a much bigger interest in food, which you may have noticed on my little blog. Since I’ve moved out of my parents house I’ve been cooking a lot more, I’m still no Gordon Ramsay, but I’m enjoying experimenting. As well as cooking my own food, I’m also enjoying the cooking of others a lot more too. When it comes to eating out I’m usually quite boring, and I tend to stick to big chain restaurants where I know what I like, but lately I’ve been trying to get out and explore more of what’s on offer around me and where I live.
