And just like that, it's almost autumn... That's always the way I feel after August Bank Holiday weekend; like autumn is just around the corner. We had a great weekend - we went up to Shropshire to spend time with my parents and help them prepare for their wedding which is happening in less than… Continue reading August Bank Holiday & Seafood

Five things Friday
Happy Friday you gorgeous bunch! Not only is it Friday, but it's Bank Holiday weekend! We will overlook the fact that this is the last bank holiday of 2018 until Christmas... When I looked out of the window this morning, all down the side of the field, the hedgerow is full of berries! Literally feel… Continue reading Five things Friday
Waxing your Barbour Jacket
This truly is 'adulting' at its finest. 'Waxing your Barbour jacket' actually sounds quite wanky, but if you have a Barbour wax jacket, then you're going to want to look after it. I've had mine for about five or six years, and every year when I wax it, it looks amazing and it really helps… Continue reading Waxing your Barbour Jacket
Five Things Friday
Hello Friday, you little beauty you. This week has felt incredibly long, so I'm exceptionally pleased Friday has arrived. Aretha Franklin I still can't believe Aretha Franklin has passed away. I grew up with her music; her songs are in some of my favourite films (My Best Friend's Wedding being one of them), her music… Continue reading Five Things Friday
A weekend up North
The Handsome One is a northern (and has the best accent), so last weekend we went up North to visit the family as there were two very special birthdays happening; his Mum's and nephew's. After a four hour drive, with a loo break for me and Bella, we arrived at Saltburn-by-the-Sea on a sunny Saturday… Continue reading A weekend up North

Cooking Our neighbours grow rhubarb and they literally have… Continue reading Five Things Friday
Why everyone needs a Lazy Sunday
Last Sunday I was incredibly lazy, and I'm not even slightly exaggerating. The Handsome One had to go away for work last weekend, so I woke up early with him and cooked him breakfast. Then Bella and I waved him off into the pouring rain and we went straight up the stairs and back into… Continue reading Why everyone needs a Lazy Sunday
Why I Love the Country Life
Having lived in our house for just over a year, I'm so happy to be back in the countryside. Don't get me wrong, I adored living in Cheltenham - it was such a great place to live with amazing parks, brilliant bars, and generally just a beautiful place. I spent so much time in Pittville park… Continue reading Why I Love the Country Life
Five Things Friday
Happy Friday! I'm envious of everyone going on their holidays at the moment - I'd be happy with a stay-cation but with work being the way it is, I'll just have to make the most of my weekends and be grateful that the roads are less busy. Here are five things that have put a… Continue reading Five Things Friday
My Garden in July
Can you believe that this time next week it's going to be AUGUST? Time is absolutely flying by this year - on my way into work the other morning, I actually starting thinking about Christmas presents... The Handsome One has repeatedly told me how much he is looking forward to Autumn and I have to… Continue reading My Garden in July
