Cork Boards As Art And Jewellery Display?

Cork boards are pretty boring. They can look wonderful when given a large amount of space as an organized photo wall but in many cases just need a simple revamp to become a delightful display in their own right. NOTE : Cover a cork board with beautiful fabric to stabilize the cork and create a…

The Saturday Club : Alfies

Alfies, as always, is absolutely scrumptious food. For such a beautiful venue, the steep prices are worth every dollar – not like many flashy venues around town that boast a beautiful view and serve mediocre flab. With simple english staples such as bangers and mash, toad in a hole, fish and chips (lauded by some…

Museum Of Medical Sciences

I thought this building would be a lot more creepy than it actually is. In my mind loomed thoughts of galleries of awful torture scientific devices and mad scientist experiments (pig-goat-dimsum-creatures?) but upon visiting, all of my vague worries proved seriously unfounded. In fact, this museum is very interesing – set in a heritage building…
