It's back to reality and the day job tomorrow after a week off for moving house and hosting our lovely family visitors. I'm actually really looking forward to getting back to my desk and some really exciting challenges that await me there. One of the highlights of this week has been getting to know our new village a bit more, and also exploring some of Chesterfield (which is not too far away). We had a brilliant lunch at @koochesterfield, a delightful little café/bistro that I've been insta-stalking for a few months. Great food, great prices and absolutely amazing cakes. Really pleased to see they are also dog-friendly so we are already planning a trip back with Otis for brunch! 🐶💕

We finally moved into our new house this week. Between packing up the old house and then moving, life has been non-stop for weeks. 2 days after moving, I was down at Heathrow to collect two of my favourite people in the world, just in from NZ. Very happy that my sister and nephew are our first guests; that we managed to make a few rooms of the house very presentable and functional for their arrival; and that @tickledtrouts18 is now our local. It was great to head down to the Tickled Trout last night for their weekly Tuesday pizza night. 2 pizzas for £20 and they are really, really good. The wife and I shared the Greek (feta, olives, sunblushed tomatoes) and the pollo picante. Because we are so similar, my sis also had the chicken pizza. Nephew had a kids' margherita pizza with his fave toppings- 🌽 and 🍍- what a legend. Feel very lucky to have such a fabulous pub nearby, which is dog-friendly too, and think we will be spending a lot of time at the Trout!

We popped along to @pieminister on Sunday to check out their new menu- specifically, the Sunday Best. It's what's been missing from my life without me even realising: basically, roast dinner meets pie. So, from the plate upwards, we have mash, a pie of your choice, a Yorkshire pud (carb on carb on carb?! Colour me interested!), carrot & swede mash, baby roasties, a pig in a blanket and a sliver of deliciously crisp, salty pork crackling. Served with your own personal gravy boat and, of course, @hendersonsrelish. Divine. Thanks @pieminister for having us along as guests and for being dog-friendly; always love taking puppo to new places!

Great food and great fun at @treehousesheff last night! Their new Rainbow Gamers event is a good one: it's an LGBTQIA social gaming night, taking place the third Sunday evening of every month. Really nice atmosphere and, as always, we loved that Treehouse is dog-friendly 🐶💗

It's getting cooler out there, but it's always ice cream season. Perfect two scoops at @ourcowmollyinstagram - wild cherry cheesecake on top of a scoop of snickerz. The best. 🍦😍🍦😍🍦😍

The @nonnassheffield tasting menu last night was very, very good. A real feast of amazing tastes, from the crispy capers with the tuna carpaccio and the umami flavours in the mushroom soup, to an exceptional salsa verde, a stellar gorgonzola potato cake and a really robust blueberry compote with the delicate lemon curd tart... We all loved it! There was a 7th course (cheese) which I didn't eat and so forgot to photograph. A bargain at £50 for the tasting menu. Several glasses of Gavi helped wash this down and temporarily dulled the utterly shite Monday that had led up to this meal. Looking forward to another Nonna's visit in future!
