What I’m looking forward to coming into the festive season
A little something about me; I absolutely adore the festive season, it really is the most wonderful time of the year. That feeling of the cold air against your face, the cracking of frozen leaves underfoot, the sound of the wood burner ticking over, the warm, and usually, alcoholic drinks, walking past houses and seeing… Continue reading What I’m looking forward to coming into the festive season
My bargain upcycled table
Now I’m going to let you know that I’m feeling pretty smug about this one. Not only did I get the table for free, but I’ve got it (in my humble opinion) looking pretty awesome and didn’t cost the earth.

My favourite curry recipe
Happy Friday! I love a curry, especially on a Friday night with a few lovely cold beers. Is there anyone that doesn't?
