Hello there, welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.

Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed, and if you see older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

It was my birthday last week and we headed into Newark to try a new to us steak restaurant which we’d heard good things about. I do love a good steak, so my birthday celebrations almost always involve steak in some way - and it was great to find a fantastic steakhouse so close to home, which is not only closer, but also better value than a trip down to London.

We got there early to check out the pub downstairs, which we’d also not made it along to until then. That too got the thumbs up from us, and I especially loved the decor with the walls full of murals, this one was my view for our pre-dinner drink. I love the orchid on the fireplace too!

Have a great week.
