A new bar, from the people who run Hemma has opened at the end of the canal called Akva and when I read they'd be serving their amazing hassleback potatoes, I couldn't wait to pop along.

It was very cosy inside but we'd already made plans for dinner, so settle with cocktails instead of potatoes this time.

As a surprise for Mum's birthday, Dad had reserved us a table at Redwood, a California inspired restaurant she's been eyeing up on the drive to our house ever since it opened.

The restaurant is in a converted house and has lots of California art over the walls.

Everything in the menu sounded amazing but I went for a soy salad topped with crispy noodles which was delicious and reminded me of all the wonderful salads we'd had while in America.
