Matching Territorial Cheese and Wine | Paxton & Whitfield X Berry Bros & Rudd

Posted on 2018-10-01 by Federica Carr

Cheese and wine comprise one of the best pairings on the planet. Whether during the festive season or not, it is an extremely enjoyable match. I went along to Jermyn Street cheese mongers Paxton & Whitfield for what turned out to be an unusual and interesting session on these two items.

Continental Canine | Swiftly Through Paris and Zurich

Posted on 2018-09-03 by Federica Carr

Amber was happy to get off the taxi and go for a sniff as well as a much welcome toilet break. We had just over an hour to kill before our TGV and a good chunk of it was taken by queuing at the ticket office to buy Amber’s pass.
