This is just a very quick 4 part series of things I did in Blackpool, York, Sheffield and Nottingham!…

The weather may be freezing, but that isn’t going to stop me from wanting to go out walking and enjoying the luscious country parks around Essex.  This means the partner in crime needs a nice warm, walking jacket to be able to join me.  I chose to use Craigdon Mountain Sports to pick him out a few from their Outdoor Clothing range. I’ve gone with brighter colours for…

I’ve saved the very best to last! Well the last of the food posts that is! Annie’s Burger Shack in The Navigation is quite simply the best burger to grace this planet.  Even MSN Men and Shortlist agree. With a whopping 26 burgers on the menu there’s a tough choice of what to pick and after much deliberating we were settled on our choices.  After…

If you are looking for a killer Sunday dinner then this is it!

If you’re looking for value for money and great quality then you need to visit Swanky Franks.  We had a great meal deal of three courses for £15.50 and this was one of the first burger to defeat me!! To start I went with loaded potato skins filled, obviously, with cheese and bacon.  The portions int he meal deal are apparently smaller than those from…

Every year I get stuck on ideas on what to fill my partners stocking with, yes I make him a little stocking filled with silly gifts as I’m totally cool like that! This year Hawkin’s Bazaar was brought to my attention (thank you Twitter) and their amazing section on stocking fillers! I’ve picked my top three choices, so anyone out there who fancies making me…
