With Midsummer’s Day just around the corner, it got me thinking of what really kicks summer off for me. Lots of thoughts crossed my mind like the long daytime BBQs with friends that go on to the early hours of the next day when you lose track of time from all the laughter or packing up an impromptu picnic to take over the park as soon…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Last week, myself and a friend headed over to The Gladstone Arms in Borough Market to try out their grub after opening their doors after a cheeky refurb! The Gladstone Arms is a well-known pub on the gigging circuit; it’s housed lots of well-known names and the three young entrepreneurs that are now in charge have put their passions of owning their own local pub favourite…

London is inarguably one of the greatest cities in the world. With bustling streets and packed full of fascinating history, it is hard not to want to become closely acquainted with England’s capital city. London attracts not only job seekers from within the UK, but also abroad- it is in the top ten international cities in the world! However, moving to a new country, particularly…

The Royal Hotel in Southend is one of the oldest buildings in the area, built in 1791 and was a former haunt of Royalty and Aristocracy, you’d be surprised to know that this was once a rather dingy nightclub that I visited once and never planned on returning to. That was until Penny told me the Royal Hotel was now in capable new hands and they really…
