There’s something quite uplifting about having flowers in the flat, and I try and have them dotted around the place as often as possible. This week, Prestige Flowers sent me a gorgeous bouquet to honestly review here, and I happily accepted, excited to see what I’d receive to brighten up the flat. Here’s my first…
When you live somewhere day in, day out, I find it can often happen that you take that place for granted. Living in Bath, a place I genuinely feel is one of the nicest places you could live in the UK, I’m definitely guilty of forgetting everything it has to offer. With a few days…
It’s easy to get carried away when talking about travels, so I thought it was best to split my New York posts into two (you can see my first one here). Here are some more places I’d thoroughly recommend if you’re planning a visit to NYC: Madison Square Garden We made the mistake of…
I’m pretty sure every person has one place they’ve always wanted to visit. For me, that was New York. So, when we were casually browsing holidays and came across an incredible deal to visit the Big Apple, we booked it then and there. And then had to wait for 9 months. Agony. Not that those…
With a whole year behind you, and another facing you, it’s hard not to be reflective on the first day of 2017. Well, 2016 was a rollercoaster of a year, filled with ecstatic highs and heartbreaking lows. This was the year that I travelled more than ever, went on more adventures, said yes, and grew…
Today is our last day in New York, and before we can get home, there’s the issue of the looooong flight back. I’m not a bad flyer, and I’m actually glad to be able to switch off from the world for 8 hours and catch up on books, podcasts, and hopefully a good amount of…
Situated on top of the Design Museum, and with incredible views of Tower Bridge and London’s skyline, the Blueprint Cafe is the perfect setting for a special date night. We visited the restaurant over the summer when we were staying in London, and (spoiler alert) would definitely recommend it. Let’s start with the setting. The…
Ireland is somewhere I’ve been longing to go since I watched the likes of PS I Love You and Leap Year. The romance might have been why I started watching those films, but the scenery is why I stayed. Ireland, you beaut. So, you can imagine how excited I was when a few days before…
It’s been a while since I last posted on this blog. I’ve been experimenting with other blogs and YouTube, as well as working on new skills like photography and calligraphy, and all that has meant other things have had to take a back seat for a while. Still, it’s nice to be here once more, and…
It’s a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I’m having a relaxing day before seeing friends tonight and cooking for my family tomorrow. Here are five things that made my week: 1. Spending a long weekend in London playing tourist. We stayed near Canary Wharf, visited the Muhammad Ali exhibition at the O2, and rode around…
Recently, we’ve managed to get through quite a few TV shows that seem to have been on our ‘To Watch’ list forever. I’m trying to work out why this is, and I think it’s a combination of the awful weather we’ve been having at weekends that’s kept us indoors, and the fact that most of…
While I love the idea of getting a tattoo, sadly I’m too much of a wuss to go through with it. So when I went on holiday to Morocco last year and saw a chance to get a henna, I was happy. The look of a tattoo without the permanence. What could go wrong? Well,…
I mentioned in my May Roundup blog post that I’d managed to breeze through two books whilst I was on holiday. Is there anything better than sitting in the sun with the sound of waves and a good book? That question was rhetorical; of course there isn’t! I received The Book of Memory from NetGalley…
I’m hard-pressed to think of a month that has flown by as quickly as this one. It’s been packed with sunshine and family and a lot of good food, as well as a week in beautiful Turkey. Here are my highlights: Food: Something’s changed. Perhaps it’s the binge-watching of programmes like Great British Menu and Masterchef,…
For Valentine’s Day, I bought Alex and I tickets to watch Omid Djalili at Komedia in Bath. Arriving early with our friends to avoid the lengthy queue and to be able to choose our seats, I was looking forward to seeing what Komedia was really like. It’s one of those places I’ve gone past practically…
