Pesky’s Vegan Brunch Club

A while back, on a rather warm, sunny Sunday I went down to ‘the Yard’ in Hackney Wick to try Pesky’s Vegan Brunch Club, which is part of their 2017 residency. I was there as a guest of the ever awesome, Luisa-Christie, and accompanied by her mumma and friend Kitty. We were a mix of vegan, veggie, gluten-free veggie, and myself, a complete meat eater…

How Would I Use My #LicenceToChill?

 Recently, the team from chillmoney.ie asked me If I were my favourite film character and I could live one day in the life of them what would I do; this really got me thinking!

Wine Pairing with Campo Viejo *

I’m a wine snob, there I said it! I was brought up spending weeks in vineyards in Rioja, with a family that know a hell of a lot about wine, so it’s just followed down the line. We now spend time doing wine tastings and pretending we know far more than what we do, but when it comes to Campo Viejo we know it’s great…

Four True Crime Books I’ve Loved

When it comes to reading, I’m pretty bad at it. I don’t get the time as we’re always here, there and everywhere, and when I get the tube to work there’s not enough space tp breathe on the Central Line let alone hold a book to read. So, I had to find a different way to get my book fix and I’m now a big fan…

Finding those Finishing Touches with UncommonGoods *

When it comes to home decor and finding the most perfect finishing touches I always end up looking online for inspiration. I’m such a home proud person, and Mike is the same, that we won’t just pick something for the flat on a whim. We talk about it, see if it will fit the room we want and then go about purchasing it. This may…

Italian Wanderlusting *

I’ve got my wanderlust fever back big time this week; I want to be anywhere but London after seeing so many holiday and festival photos on my feed! I need some sun, sand, and fun, and I think I’ve found the perfect destination for Mike and I! Pra’ Delle Torri in Italy, not too far from Venice, has not only an 18 hole golf course…
