I have been going through all the sites on Worcester’s City Council website which lists the approved premises for Civil Wedding’s in Worcestershire and I […]

My fiancee took me out for a surprise birthday lunch at World Service the other day. When you get to the restaurant, you have to walk through the garden terrace to get to the front door which is quite nice as you feel secluded and away from the city. When we went through the front […]
