Hello! I’m a former magazine journo who now works in tourism with Visit Surrey and in English wine with Vineyards of the Surrey Hills. ✨️

I love food and drink, movies, music and, despite what they put me through, Tottenham. 😁

If I'm not on here, I'm probably up Reigate Hill or in a restaurant. 🌄🥂😎

At Denbies Wine Estate today for the presentation of their King's Award for Enterprise by the Lord-Lieutenant of Surrey. Got to try a few "from the tank" samples from this year’s exceptional harvest, too. 🥂🏅 @visitsurrey.bsky.social @surreyvineyards.bsky.social

Happy autumn equinox. ✨️

As England's most wooded county, everywhere you travel around Surrey is breathtaking during the autumn months. 🍁

"All old English charm, with a lush secret garden, Kinghams opened in 1993 and has had a longevity that few restaurants in Surrey can match."
