Posted February 12, 2015 by Charlotte in Blog Tour, Guest Post / 0 Comments

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The Dish by Stella Newman. Today I have some Top Spots for eating out at Valentines. I loved reading this story which was full of my favourite things, some romance, witty and loveable characters, and food to drool over (see my review) and highly recommend it for all you Chick-lit fans out there! Don’t forget to visit other blog stops along the tour for other great content. Below Stella shares her top spots for eating out at Valentines! Just in case you need some inspiration… I’m not a fan of going out for dinner on Valentine’s Day. Like New Year’s Eve, the pressure to have THE BEST TIME EVER tends to mar the occasion. Whenever I’ve done it in the past, restaurants seem to be full of couples bickering, or who’ve run out of things to say to each other. I’d much rather stay home. As the fabulous Elizabeth Gilbert’s husband once (more-or-less) said: A woman’s place is in the kitchen. With her feet up. Drinking a glass of wine. With her other […]

Don’t miss the concluding part of the Winter family story… So I finally got to read the final part of A Place for Us Part Four! And yay, it was so good. Part four ties up all the loose ends, tidies the story up. But it does it so well that we don’t seem to lose momentum. It is more gentle than the other parts as it solves the issues and sorts everything out so that there is a happily […]
