The Find Artisan Coffee House and Kitchen

Image
Falafel Salad 'The Find' and what a find it was! Based in Regent Street, Cheltenham is where you'll find (there I go again 😂) a unique, delicious, independent fresh coffee house and kitchen. Serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea you will be leaving with a very satisfied appetite. I have been here a few times and the food has always been up to high standard and it has a cosy and casual, yet fine dining atmosphere. What I mean by this is that the upstairs is laid out into two sections. One room contains casual, slightly slouchy seating which circulates around individual small tables and has some stereotypical cafe seating at the back. This is great for socialising with friends or simply grabbing a quick bite on your own. This space is also useful if you want a great place to study. The room opposite has a restaurant feel, as there is plush seating and bigger tables and is spaced as you would see a typical restaurant setting. This is perfect for more sop...

1917 (Film Review)

The film follows two soldiers, Lance Corporal Schofield ( George Mackay ) and Lance Corporal Blake ( Dean-Charles Chapman ) who have been set a mission by General Erinmore ( Colin Firth ) to find another regiment and inform them not to go into battle, as ...

Little Women (Film Review)

Image
Star Rating:✩✩✩✩✩ A timeless story, Little Women by Louise Alcott, has been rebooted by director and screenplay writer Greta Gerwig - the genius behind the award-winning film  Ladybird . There have been quite a few versions of Little Women, but this adaptation is number one in my eyes as Greta has maintained a traditional yet modern version, and the whole cinematic production is faultless and empowering! As most of us know, the story is set in 1933 and revolves around the four 'March' sisters and their journey of what they want in life and how they will get there. While waiting for their father to return from the American Civil War the girls spend time with their neighbours, a mysterious, slightly rebellious boy and his generous, kind-hearted tutor. All hope lies on these women to pick a rich husband, so that their family isn't destined to live in poverty. Well that is what their Aunt Marge thinks, but with love, ambition and talent, these Little Women still h...
