ANGELS & DEMONS PREMIERS AT CASA BELLA
“The room was an atmospheric chamber of shadows and pools of light…One by one, the guests, albeit somewhat apprehensively, took their seats at the Lord Demon’s table” Casa Bella’s Angels & Demons may have taken place a few weeks ago now but the unique impression that the evening left on my guests and I will, […]
SMALL TALK & YOU
“Apparently, weather, sports, pets and travel are the four most common topics of small talk which is something many of us struggle with, be it because words simply don’t come to us or we just don’t like making it.” So, yesterday saw a major milestone in the history of England & Wales; ‘same sex marriage’. Or as […]
CASA BELLA’S CASINO IS A WINNER
“I think the best thing about the evening (although it may not necessarily have seemed so at the time!) was the noisy, raucous behaviour of all our guests.” Well, hello there. Have you missed me?

WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? POPULAR SAYINGS
They’ve transcended time, passed from generation to generation, evolving to become part of our every day conversation. But what exactly do old proverbs mean and where did they come from?

HALLOWEEN’S DARKER SIDE, ONE YEAR ON

Casa Bella’s Devil’s Dinner Party 2; the gifts and the curses
So, here I am, a couple of days after the night before and what a night! I think I can safely say that Casa Bella’s Devil’s Dinner Party 2 turned out to be one of the ‘wildest’ dinner parties yet! I dare say that much of that was not helped by the introduction of a relatively new […]
Tis’ the Sunday of the week before the rebranding. Me? Terrifed?
Good morning, Sunday browsers. How are you all today? I hope you’re having a lovely relaxing Sunday, languishing in your bed.

Casa Bella’s HOIME Awards 2012 makes way for company relaunch
It’s been nearly a year since Casa Bella’s HOIME Awards. Wow, time really does fly! Casa Bella’s HOIME Awards 2012 will not take place this year because they are making way for another glitzy event; the rebrand of my company CGA Enterprise Solutions. The rebrand is long overdue since I acquired the company in January […]
Casa Bella’s wigs, laughter, trophies and murder
And so here we are, 2 days later (sounds like a film title doesn’t it). The balloons have been deflated, the posters taken down, the jewels stolen and Casa Bella’s dining room returned to its usual state in anticipation of tomorrow’s formal business meeting. Casa Bella’s first Murder Mystery is over so what was it like? When […]
