National Breakfast Week – Why is breakfast so important?

January 28, 2016 by ellie

Did you know that a quarter of us skip breakfast once or more in the week? Many Londoners are far too caught up in our own everyday routine to stop, sit down and tuck into a good hearty breakfast to prepare us for the busy day. Some of us may be guilty of preferring to squeeze in some more z’s in the morning rather than make the huge effort to get out of the warm cosy bed and to the cold kitchen. We understand it’s so easy to let breakfast slip out of our daily activities, but it really is your most essential meal of the day. Breakfast is the key to your waking up ritual and to energise your body ready for the day ahead. For this year’s National Breakfast Week it’s time to shake up your wake up and start enjoying the most important part of the day and get back into a healthy routine! We do understand that perhaps quite a few of us are still clinging onto the post-holiday diet, so we’ll try not to get too carried away in our recommendations for spicing up your brekkie this week.

Christmas traditions – Where do they come from?

December 21, 2015 by ellie

Tis’ the season for Christmas trees, mince pies, gifts and for some, brussel sprouts. It’s the time of year when all of the festive hits once again creep back onto our radios and for the kids, presents from the jolly fellow in red! It certainly is the most colourful and exciting time of year for many, but have you ever wondered where these classic Christmas customs come from? In a way, they’re actually very bizarre! We tell the kids a fat strange man will be flying through the skies and squeezing down our chimneys, we haul trees into our homes and some even brave the cold to knock on neighbour’s front doors and sing to them. Every Christmas tradition may not directly relate to the birth of Christ, so why do we celebrate them each year?
