We are well and truly in lockdown mode and have been now for several weeks! For anyone stuck at home with a baby or toddler I know how difficult it is at times, we are all in this together so I thought what better time to share some activities to enjoy with your little ones whilst at home to keep them occupied (even if it is just for 10 minutes!)

As you know I love to eat out and try new restaurants which is why when Harvey Nichols invited me back to try out their new Winter A’La Carte Menu, I was really looking forward to it. I have visited the brasserie at Harvey Nichols last year and was impressed by the food that I decided it was time to try it out again, this time the new Winter menu. In the current situation we find ourselves in I understand no one will be eating out any time soon and my review took place well before Coronavirus became a pandemic. Maybe this is somewhere that you can add to your wish list when all of this is over and we can all go out again. One thing I like about this place is that it overlooks Cathedral Gardens in Manchester, one of the few restaurants with a great view and relaxing dining experience.
