Every time I visit Canterbury, I think about writing a post about it...and then I get swept up doing something else (booking holidays, drinking wine, taking pictures of my cats) and forget. But today I've just come back from a holiday and can't afford to book another one, have been drinking all week so don't [...]
Warning: contains avocado and lots of it... If there's one thing I love more than I love wine*, it's brunch. On a weekday, my breakfast tends to consist of a cereal bar/ whatever I can find in the work kitchen/ a biscuit because I couldn't find anything suitable. But weekends are a different story [...]
So, a little over a year ago I thought it would be a great idea to make a 30 before 30 list. 30 challenges for myself to complete before I hit the big 3-0. If there's one thing I love, it's a to-do list. Sometimes, when I finish something that wasn't on my list, I [...]
There were a lot of things I obsessed about when I was getting married. The seating plan, the amount of teaspoons needed and the weather were high on my priority list, but worrying about who was going to walk me down the aisle was never really a concern. My dad passed away when I was [...]
So it's Easter day, which is also commonly known as 'stuff your face with chocolate' day. Literally what could be better than waking up and thinking 'yep, instead of eating my normal toast, I'm going to eat a WHOLE chocolate egg, followed by some smaller ones, for good measure'? Things get a little less fun [...]
I'll be the first to admit - I'm just not that into musicals. Yes, I have seen some and liked them (enough to see Wicked twice) - but as a general rule, once the storyline of a performance continually gets broken up by outbursts of song, I find myself losing interest. However, when you bring together [...]
A few years ago, I felt about leopard print on clothes how I feel about playing sport for fun or cheese fondue - nice for some people, but definitely not for me. But then strange things started to happen - my mentality towards it began to alter. I'd like to say this change in mindset was [...]
As you probably already know, I'm pretty terrible at cooking, baking and generally making...anything. But, I have a secret weapon that I bring out for dinner parties so that people don't think I'm a complete no-hoper in the kitchen...and that's my dairy free Lotus biscuit no-bake cheesecake. I was originally inspired by a pretty picture [...]
I don't know why it's taken me so long to get around to writing this blog post, but now that Christmas is over, I'm officially swapping turkey for Turkish and encouraging you to pay a visit to Zorba Meze Grill in Tunbridge Wells. The restaurant opened earlier this year, and has been doing a roaring [...]
A few weeks ago it was my (our) first wedding anniversary. For a while we ummed and ahhed on where to celebrate. I was very much in the "LET'S GO TO NEW YORK" camp, and Jamie was more of the meal in a local restaurant persuasion. So in the end we compromised and went for [...]
