Afternoon tea. That quintessentially British tradition that makes us feel fancy. There is something special about getting dressed up a little, heading to a beautiful venue and feeling indulgent for the afternoon. I never struggled to find an afternoon tea when I was vegetarian, it is very well catered for. But, since becoming vegan 18 months ago, finding a good vegan afternoon tea proved a…
I cannot tell you how happy I am to be launching this new series. I have wanted to bring sustainability topics onto my blog in a more formal manner, for a while. I was so pleased when I received a 100%, resounding YES when I posed the question on Instagram to see if you would be interested. This is a series with no judgement, no…
There is something special about a castle isnt there. The history wrapped up within its walls. The stories woven amongst its rooms. The past residents that have called it home. Well, when I saw that a Hever Castle stay was possible, I knew it was the perfect staycation for us! Our dreams of being a, (albeit temporary) resident of the castle could be realised. If…
There are some things in life that are a right of passage. Things like your first smooch. Passing your driving test. Holidays with the girls (or boys). All these things are as much a part of the journey through life as breathing. There is another thing that has been added to this list in recent years. Eating at Wagamama’s.

For the years prior to the, (lets call it, hiccup), come December, Nik and I would plan. We would each say places that we would love to visit the following year, and they would get written down. A…
My friends and family often ask me why I write my blog. They question why I dedicate so much time and effort to it. Why I at times, stress myself out finding the time to write it. In their eyes, it is not my job, I do not get paid for it, so why?…
I started a tradition with my blog from the first year I began writing it. I like having a glance back over the year. My yearly reflection on life is something that I have always done in my “off-line” life, so it feels natural to do it on the blog. I think it is important to sit beside the year that is slowly fading out.…
Im a woman that loves the City. I love the bustle, the bright lights, the noise and the vibrancy. I especially love discovering a new city. I do however, also love finding those little pockets of calm to escape to when needed. A little oasis to return to and recharge at. That is why for us, we spend some time looking into our City break…
