  1.  Essaouira, Morocco

    I've just started a travel blog called Tour Guide Travels and here's a link to Essaouira, Morocco - Sea and Souks, my 1st blog post for it.

    Although I already have this blog and the London Scone Review, both focus on London, but my new blog will be a more occasional and ad hoc devoted exclusively to my travels. You can find out more about it on its About Me page. Each time I post on it I will do a link here for those who would like to read the full article please click on the link.

    The author of this blog is a qualified City of London and City of Westminster Tour Guide who leads guided walks combining world famous landmarks with hidden treasures often missed by the crowds.

    La Cantina

    Scones seem such a quintessentially British/ English thing, I never thought for my final blog in 2015, I would be eating them in Africa. However while researching veggie food options for my holiday in Essaouria, Morocco I came across La Cantina. It’s a small café in the heart of the Medina (the old city) which serve along side savoury food, home made scones and cakes. So with the challenge of eating scones in a different continent I decided to visit them.

    November brought a wonderful scone surprise, when I visited Centre of the Cell to attend “Was the First World War good for medicine?” by Professor Tilli Tansey, the latest lecture in their wonderful The Big Question series. The lecture itself was fascinating but at the end of they had a special buffet serving sandwiches and scones provided by QM Catering. In this scone extravaganza I was joined by friends Katie, Head of Learning at Centre of the Cell (huge thank you to for organising the catering), Rebecca, Ros and Amardeep.
