This post is sponsored by East Midlands Trains I’ve loved train travel since I was a child and it’s no wonder that it’s still very much a feature in my adult life. I will also confess it’s my favourite way to travel above all other modes of transport. If I can travel by train, I…

When I was recently invited to the Dorchester Hotel by ASDA Little Angels, I was not only excited to hear about everything that was going on with the brand, but also about getting the chance to see what life was like inside the Dorchester. Who wouldn’t be, it’s one of the most iconic luxury hotels…
