I started our south-coast breakfasts series in order to shout about the many great independent eateries we have in this area, but this week we found ourselves at a chain restaurant and the experience was so utterly underwhelming that I very nearly didn’t bother to blog about it, but then I realised that if I…
I’ve spent a lot of time over the last couple of weeks looking for a new winter coat, something waterproof and warm that is practical for walking the dogs, but smart enough to wear on other occasions… and you know what I found one, but for Theo! Apparently if you are 2 years-old you are…

My sewing machine is back and normal service has resumed – woohoo! Just in case you are remotely curious, the problem was 5 years of (over)use which had resulted in lint building up in inaccessible parts of the machine. I had told the repair man that sewing with it was like wading through treacle and…
The unseasonably warm weather this week has brought us out into the garden once again to carry out a few tasks before autumn settles in for good. High up on our list was a refresh and clean our bird feeders. Our house is surrounded by woodland and fields, areas that are attractive habitat for several…

Sounds like you had a really bad experience! I normally really like Cafe Rouge, a friend used to work there and she would always make us go (to the extent she had the friends and family pre-wedding meal at Cafe Rouge) and I have never had a negative experience. I find with large chains that so much depends on the individual Manager and the ethos that they install in their staff – good manager = good chain restaurant, bad manager = absolute disaster!

What a shame you had a bad experience, I haven’t been to a Cafe Rouge for years either. Your french toast and honey does look good though!
The pics on my blog are at Hotham Park – don’t know if you’ve been there before but its quite a nice park for somewhere local. We go there quite a bit and often take monkey nuts to feed the squirrels! x
I hate it when service is slow and I have a toddler with me… I noticed the requisite car with Theo! My youngest had an imaginary husband “McKeen” who was an army guy and they produced oodles of children (some who would disappear only to be replaced with more). We always had to have 6 seats – one for him and at least a couple of the babies. Eventually McKeen went away somewhere and disappeared too. I love your blogs on places you eat. I think breakfast out is my favourite meal to eat out.
