I am going to say straight from the starting blocks that I will not be marching you straight down to Tesco for some pak choi and mung beans. Nor, will I ever judge anyone for their diet choices. This post is not written to try to convert or preach to you about a vegan diet, but a few people have asked me over on social…
Turning right out of Goodge Street tube station in Londons West End, a short stroll along the road (avoiding the temptation of Oliver Bonas and all its interiors godliness that you have to pass by) you will see the hot pink facia of Kalifornia Kitchen ahead of you. Bright blue coloured tables and chairs are set out the front, along with fluffy blankets over the…
You know sometimes, all the planets align and everything just works out? Well that was us last week. Nik was just starting to feel better from his rough weeks after his chemo treatment, our boys were off doing their own thing, we had been invited to a book launch in Covent Garden, and it was my birthday! All of that was reason enough to just…
I love food. Plane and simple, food makes me happy. I love the social aspect of eating around a table, the laughter, the chatting. It just makes me feel content. Well Las Iguanas, the popular latin american inspired food chain, encourages you to do just that.

The cases were closed. One last check of the weight, just to reassure myself for the ninety-ith time that they were not over our allowance, I satisfied myself of this and locked the case. Wheeling this last bit of luggage over to the front door to join the other bags, I was satisfied that all was ready. Getting into the freshly made bed, (I always…

They feel it has to be…
If you know me and my blog, you would know that I am without doubt, one of the reigning Queens of afternoon tea. I have made it my life’s mission, and of course my duty to you, (cough, cough) to try as many of them as possible. Well, this latest task that I undertook on your behalf, was to accept the invitation from Whittard of…
This post is in collaboration with Adexe London Time. Those four little letters that have such an impact on everything that life is about. The thing that we always wish we had more of, wish that it slowed down, wish that at times, we could rewind or pause. How many times do we hear people say that they don’t have time, or that they cant…
A couple of years ago, before Nik became unwell, we had decided that we needed to explore more of the gorgeous places in the UK. We always felt that we had done our own country an injustice by travelling to far flung places around the world, but not exploring what we have on our doorstep!
