Hard Rock Cafe Edinburgh Review
Now we both love a good burger, so when Kirsty at Scottish Blogger Network offered us the chance to try out Hard Rock Cafe on George Street, as part of a Christmas collaboration we jumped at the chance.

Cakes and Coffee at Patisserie Valerie, Edinburgh
When an email pops into your inbox asking you if you’d like to try cake and coffee at Patisserie Valerie on George IV bridge, it’s very hard to say no! With coffee and cake being Mr Edinburger’s great love (I’d say if you asked he’d put them above me!), he was willing to miss the…
Luxury Hampers from Highland Fayre
We were recently asked if we would be interested in sampling a food hamper from Highland Fayre. You can usually count on us not to turn down any sort of food and also thought this would be an ideal chance to try out a potential Christmas pressie (you can’t go wrong with a good hamper)….
