My Super Quick Spaghetti Bolognese *

 When it comes to quick dinners, I think I’ve got a few nailed. I do a mean Chicken Stir Fry, a flavoursome Chilli Con Carne, and we’ve even got steak cooking down to an art. With our busy lives, we like to eat quick but don’t want to miss out on eating good food so I’ve tweaked a few recipes to speed them up and…

Iconic Sunglasses and Their Owners *

When it comes to sunglasses, I feel they’ve always been a statement. I know for me, as soon as I got my eyes lasered I was eager to get a pair of statement sunglasses.

Summer Festival Shoe Wishlist *

When it comes to summer shoes, I’m not your sandal and flip flop kinda gal. I’m all about bold coloured trainers and keeping these little toes of mine hidden.

The Fox & Raven Inn, Chelmsford *

As already mentioned numerous times on this blog, I love spending time out in Essex. I work all week in Central London, spend around 12 hours a week commuting and don’t want to be wasting my weekends on trains! And when you live where we do trains that work of a weekend are quite hard to come by! This means a lot of our weekend…
