Come dine with me... well, with the Sylvanian families anyway

Advantages: Well made, many little extras, sturdy table and chairs and nice looking
Disadvantages: the smaller bits can go missing or choke people

...with there own little pieces of furniture, and it is a certain set of furniture that I am going to tell you about now; one of the many sets of furniture that my daughter has bought, or had bought for her, during her many years of collecting the Sylvanian families array of figures, vehicle and houses. This particular set of furniture is in fact the Sylvanian families dining room set and, as the name suggests, is designed more for a dining room that anywhere else. Firstly, I have to say that the dining room set that my daughter has looks nothing like the one that is in the picture on here. The one she has is far better looking and offers a lot more than the picture actually shows. What is in this dining room set then? There is a lot in the box when you get it home, with a lot of the pieces being smaller than a gnats left foot, almost...

Review of The Plough Country Pub and Dining Room, Galgate, Lancashire

A Taste of Thailand in Rural Essex

Advantages: Delicious food, reasonable prices, generous portions
Disadvantages: Only if you don't like Thai food.

...Sanuk is a 'Thai Dining Room and Oriental Café Bar' (does no one go to ordinary restaurants any more?!) in High Ongar, Essex. It is in a picturesque village location, and is based in an old style, low beamed building. There has been a restaurant on this site for some years now, but I would think this had been a pub prior to that, as that is what the building reminds me of. There is a small courtyard garden out the back should the weather be on your side. Four of us arrived on a Sunday lunchtime about 1.30pm, having been able to park right outside. We had booked but the restaurant wasn't busy. We were seated straight away and handed menus and a drinks list. We were asked if we wanted prawn crackers and these came immediately, with four dips: satay, sweet (but mild) chilli, a spicy chilli and a soy sauce. We ordered our drinks, which...
