AT HOME EATS - Dine at Home with La Belle Assiette, a private chef service

Surely the ultimate in home dining is to have a chef arrive with food already prepped, to cook a meal for you and your guests and then clear away afterwards?  Hashtag Winning springs to mind and when I was offered the chance to check out La Belle Assiette, a company that offers this service across the UK I gladly accepted.

LONDON DAYS OUT - House and Garden And Antiques

The theme that ran through this year's House and Garden festival at Olympia in Kensington for me was plastic replacement and recycling. I discovered a paint that is plastic free, food wraps to replace cling film and embossed stationery made from recycled coffee cups. It was all very encouraging and as Emma at the plastic-free paint company said, "Thank God for David Attenborough". I heart that sentiment.
