Levenshulme Night Market – Halloween Spooktacular!

I went to Levy Market after work last night, it was a street food special so I couldn’t resist popping along and sampling a few local delights. I love going to Levenshulme market – and it’s gettting busier everytime – a real credit is due to the organizers, they always manage to pull together incredible food traders and makers.

Budget Zombie: Cheap Halloween Idea

Halloween is definitely my favourite holiday. Forget your Christmas’, Easters and New Year’s – Halloween is by far the most fun. This post is a bit different than what I usually write about but I thought I’d give it a whirl and show you my Halloween zombie – done on the cheap. I have lots of fun dressing up and experimenting with different Halloween ideas, so here’s a zombie that probably set me back around £4 to put together.

De Nada – Chorlton

A firm favourite in my Chorlton dining circuit is De Nada. A South American cafe bar with a relaxed atmosphere, cosy surroundings, friendly staff –  and some great artwork too.

Indy Man Beer Con 2015

I’d never been to the Independent Manchester Beer Convention (Indy Man Beer Con/IMBC) before which is now in it’s 4th year. So on a breezy Sunday afternoon we cycled over from Chorlton to the beautiful Victoria Baths in Victoria Park for this year’s event.

Double Zero – Chorlton

We all already know about my sordid love affair with pizza. One of my new favourite local joints has taken it to a whole new level. Double Zero on Barlow Moor Road in Chorlton takes things back to basics – proper tasty ingredients, freshly baked pizza bases all cooked traditionally in a flaming hot oven at the back of the restaurant. Things got emotional – dare I say it, but this might be the best pizza restaurant in Manchester.

The Crafty Pig

I’d been hearing good things about The Crafty Pig bar and kitchen so the other Saturday a bunch of us popped along for a friends birthday – there were around 20 of us and the staff were very welcoming and it was a very smooth service for such a large group.

Visiting Bergen

We embarked onto our train at Oslo station and settled in for a long journey across the width of Norway to our next destination – Bergen. The train journey was incredible with some spectacular views as is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful train journeys you can take in Europe. Sadly our camera battery was running desperately low but I managed to catch this snap on my phone.
