For anyone that knows me, they’ll know I’m a massive animal fan, that I support local animal charities and that I love feeding homeless dogs, in fact, I always carry a tin of dog food in my bag in case I see one, yes, I am that weird! Yesterday morning I was out in our car park in my pyjamas trying to save an injured pigeon…
When it comes to travelling light, I’d like to think I’ve become a little bit of a pro! I really do travel with as little as possible as I like to keep my bag light as I use a Cabin Zero so I carry it around on my back. I use the front pouch on the Cabin Zero as my hand luggage section so I…
When I was asked by the team from National Express if I wanted out and find a #NationalWonder for them, I had no idea where I was going to end up. Would I be down at Stonehenge? Would I end up in London seeking out really old architecture? Would I be hunting down a National Wonder of the World? I was wrong on all accounts,…
We decorated the bedroom even before I moved in nearly 3 years ago now; we loved the colours, we got new carpets, we matched all our bedding perfectly, and we felt so proud of all the work we put in.

Not to mention that part-time job and trying to have some sort of a social life. When…
A few weeks back I was treated to a day of cookery with Danilo Cortellini, the head chef at the Italian Embassy, Crosta & Mollica who supply the finest bakery products and artisan specialities that Italy have to offer over here in the UK and the Waitrose Cookery School in King’s Cross. I always worry that I’m going to make a fool of myself at these…
I literally am struggling so much to put into words how much I loved this morning out with the Love Pop Up London crew! In fact, I loved it so much that I booked tickets to go back six days later with Mike so he could experience it and I am planning a return with my parents. I’ve told all my friends, family and neighbours…
I always love baking, but I’m not that great at it to be honest with you. What I see in my head never happens with my hands so I’m usually pretty disappointed with my final product. I’ve only really mastered the Creme Egg Brownie and even then I use a packet brownie mix so it’s pretty much cheating! I’ve tried to conquer macaroons, blondies, chocolate…
