My Bay

Advantages: tasty addition to stews and cassorole
Disadvantages: maybe to strong for your taste

...scent and the best way to dry the leaves is in the dark, this way they don't lose their colour. They can be stored in an airtight jar after the are dried, but in summer it is always good to be able to pick the leaves from the plant to add the fresh herb to your recipe. Bay can be put into stews and casseroles to give them an added flavour, remember to take them out though before seving. One or two leaves should be enough to flavour your meal. You can add them to a bottle of olive oil along with a few chillies and a clove of garlic, to give the oil extra flavour. You can put them in the pot when you are braising meat and they are excellent for flavouring home made tomato sauce. Here is a little recipe with bay that you might like to try. 8oz of green lentils 2 bay leaves 1 medium onion 6tsp sunflower oil or olive oil 2...

Nature at Bay

Advantages: Accessible, attractive, atmospheric
Disadvantages: Covers too small an area

...). If we want to avoid ourselves, or at least each other, we have to venture a bit further afield. Fortunately there are places easily accessible for a short stay to anyone with a car that are not so bustling, and where the natives rather than the cross-Channel raiders still seem to be in the majority. One of the most attractive of these places is the bay at the mouth of the river Somme. An hour's cruise southwards down the A16 autoroute (and a few euros toll) will whisk you away from the hubbub of the Channel ports to a much more relaxed and far less anglicised environment. No complicated navigation is needed to find your way. When you reach the service area called 'Aire de la Baie de Somme' you have just missed the ideal exit, sign-posted Rue. No matter, there is another exit just a little further on. Meanwhile, if you choose...

Review of Bay of the Somme

Turkey, trimmings and a vamp called Christine

Advantages: Unbelievably good value for money; lovely staff; good food; nice atmosphere
Disadvantages: The one I went to is in the backstreets of Croydon

...For the last few years, Christmas day has become a routine involving my husband and I visiting either his parents or mine. This year, however, started more promising (no offence, mum) with all the in-laws safely ensconced at a Yorkshire hotel for the duration and my parents staying over at my brother's house for Christmas day. This meant my husband and I were free to do what we wanted Christmas day, with the proviso that we would make our way over to my sibling's house for Boxing day. We decided that we should eat out on Christmas day, feeling that we could enjoy all the delights of a proper Christmas meal with all the trimmings whilst leaving all of the preparation or washing up behind. I left the decision to my other half, who settled on a little restaurant only a few miles away from us called the Little Bay restaurant. I wasn...

BAY TRADING

Advantages: Great quality, styles and prices
Disadvantages: Too cramped store

...Well the answer to my title is quite simple, um.... cash for clothes and accessories and in this case DECENT, GOOD QUALITY Bay Trading items, sorry about the dodgy title but I couldn't really think of anything else! I've only really noticed Bay Trading in my local town centre recently, I've only just started shopping there too so her goes my opinion on the shop itself. The store itself is relatively small but have been in bigger branches, with racks down the sides of the small, thin, long store and 1 single rack all the way down the middle of the store, things can get a little cramped. When loads of people are in the tiny store all at once, things can get a litte out of hand. Luckily the store uses the floor above it too for the changing rooms. The changing rooms are great with a big communal area and then 2 smaller changing rooms...

ROBIN HOOD'S BAY

Advantages: Beautifully preserved and evocative
Disadvantages: STEEP

...I've always wondered why Robin Hood's Bay was in North Yorkshire and not in Nottinghamshire. One explanation might be that Nottinghamshire, being landlocked, is not over-endowed with bays. Another is the sheer logistics of moving it from one county to another. Robin Hood's Bay is around 5 miles south of Whitby, and some 15 miles north of Scarborough on the North Sea coast of North Yorks. I've researched a little, and I can find no explanation of why this place has such an interesting name - it doesn't matter anyway. There are records dating back from 1536, apparently, of a small settlement of around 50 houses and 20 fishing boats but nothing about its namesake. Besides, the locals prefer to call it Bay Town. There may be some tenuous connection to the 'Prince of Thieves' though. Fishing has always been the mainstay of this...

Review of Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire

Bay Is Ok

Advantages: it's ordinary
Disadvantages: nothing more

...Stores which usually have a selection on the main stock, although which pieces are chosen to be sold here seems to vary from town to town. ~~ The Stock ~~ Bay have an unusual mix of classic plain pieces and fashionable items too. Because of this, they generally have the same timeless tops and skirts all year round, while the ?? will naturally change with the seasons to portray the latest trend. Things I’ve bought in the last 4 months include : A chenille fitted cardigan for £10 2 vest style tops for the summer - £3.99 each or 3 for £10 A bikini - £5.99 and £4.99 for the bits separately, or £8 together A sarong - £5.99 (maybe a little pricey, but I need it for the beach next week) This may sound cheap – I was looking at similar items at work which would have cost be twice that amount – but this...

Did you know bay is a sweet laurel ?

Advantages: good for cookery
Disadvantages: ?

...Did you know the bay tree is a laurel ? I did not till today. There are several species of the bay/laurel tree Sweet Laurel (Laurus nobilis) The sweet laurel bay laurus noblius although first found in Asia Minor and the Mediterranean has grown in Britain since thec16c.

Bay Trading

Advantages: Good prices
Disadvantages: a bit of a mess

...Bay Trading was not a shop I used until a few years ago. It is one of the only shops in the area that I live in that has clothes that I like at affordable price!! Which I think is hard to find! Each time I go in I normally end up buying something! Bay Stocks a range of clothes tops, and trousers mainly. I think that the selection is of a wide range, but I think it could be better. In the summer months there is a wide range of bikinis at mainly £10 each- complete bargain! I normally manage to find what I?m looking for, however the smaller sizes tend to sell out quickly as in other shops. What they don't sell is underwear. I think it would be good if they did. It would be a great sure success, but there is always Topshop in the meantime! The sales are brilliant if you are size 14+ because that what is left in all the sales! As I...

Byron Bay Beach Bum!!

Advantages: Great beaches and surf
Disadvantages: Expensive

.... Beaches - Byron Bay has got plenty of beaches to offer, the Main Beach is a short walk from to, this is where most tourists head too and many surfers. If you carry on along Main Beach then you will come to Wategos Beach which is just below the Light House. This is my favourite beach in Byron; it is a lot quieter and is surrounded by beautiful holiday homes. The thing I love the most is while you are enjoying a swim you can look up and see the Light house. Tallos Beach is a short drive away from the centre of Byron, it is often a little rough so not much swimming is done but it is very popular with Dog Walkers. Surfing - Byron Bay offers many options for the wannabe surfers amongst you, some of the most popular are the Surf Camps a whole week of intensive surf training. Information on these can be found at local travel companies like...

Down By The Bay

Advantages: Lots to do, reasonably priced holiday, excellent staff
Disadvantages: The hill

...pestered you into buying tickets for. When Bourne Leisure took them over it seemed that the things we loved about Haven were all evaporating slowly but surely and when some of the staff at one Haven site mentioned that Park Resorts had kept the old style that had once made Haven great, we decided to give them a try. ***The Location*** We love Devon and Cornwall, so when we saw the Bideford Bay site in the brochure, it wasn't difficult to decide that this was the one to try. The site itself isn't actually situated in Bideford, but is about 9 miles down the coast and the main gates to the site can be found in a lovely little place called Bucks Cross. There isn't an easy way down to the beach from the site but nearby you can find some fantastic beaches at Westward Ho and Bude, as well as some lovely surfer dudes too. I have to admit...
