We all know that the perfect winter walk involves snow and luckily that is what we had! We’re rarely treated to such beauty, so when it arrives, it really is a big deal. The weather apps (all five of them), promised me snow starting in the early hours of the morning, which is why I… Continue reading A perfect winter walk

Five Things Friday
Autumn has well and truly arrived! End of Daylight Saving Time On 25th March, we lost an hour and on Sunday we are gaining an extra hour, which means an whole other hour on a Sunday. I've planned a lie-in, a run, getting Sunday lunch ready by 1pm, reading my book and many other things… Continue reading Five Things Friday
Homemade Rhubarb Vodka
You can probably sense a bit of a rhubarb theme at the moment... The neighbours have a crown of rhubarb that is such a prolific grower and they are constantly telling us to help ourselves, so we wouldn't be very good neighbours if we didn't. A few weeks we made rhubarb & ginger jam (and the… Continue reading Homemade Rhubarb Vodka
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
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.

This is the easiest sauce to make and perfect accompaniment for a variety of dishes such as pasta, salads, potatoes, rice, literally anything.… Continue reading Avocado Sauce
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

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
5 things Friday
It's Friday, it's a bank holiday weekend and it's sunny - how could you want for anything more? I've been signed off work this week due to having a viral infection and laryngitis, which has really knocked me about but I finally feel like myself again and by feel like myself, I think a glass… Continue reading 5 things Friday
