Thankfully we have had some amazing weather here in the U.K. already. Being a keen traveler though is tough at the moment. We’ve already had to cancel our Easter holiday and are now wondering if we’ll have our Summer holiday. I for one, am not used to spending so much time at home. There are … Continue reading Destination: home
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you may know that I’ve really been trying to buy less on the fashion-front and if I’m honest, it goes in fits and starts. I haven’t bought any high fashion, ‘trend-led’ items for a year or so which is great, as the things I am buying … Continue reading Early Summer Fashion Picks
I can’t believe I’ve waited so long to make this beautiful cake. It’s such an easy bake and has very few ingredients. Having visited the stunning Perigord region of France last Summer (see my travel post here), I couldn’t stop dreaming of the breakfasts we had at this little B&B tucked outside the medieval town … Continue reading Gf Walnut Cake
Just before lockdown, I returned to Oxford with some great friends and retraced my steps from my last visit; seeing it through different eyes. It’s a trip I think back on a lot since we’ve been confined to our homes; it was a wonderful weekend filled with a great deal of fun and laughter. We … Continue reading A Return to Oxford

It doesn’t mean we have to compromise on comfort, which is also … Continue reading Lockdown Loungewear
Ok, so in all honesty I’m not sure my husband would agree to the above title as let’s face it; the world has gone to crap, so it’s ok to be emotional once in a while. One minute I’m perfectly happy and the next I feel like a caged, frightened animal. It’s definitely made me … Continue reading How I’m Keeping Sane
I have literally just whipped these up after realising we don't have much variety of breakfast things for tomorrow. It's a small miracle that they've been a success as it's the first time I've tried making them; I'm just concerned now that there won't be any left for the morning (food doesn't last long in … Continue reading GF Blueberry Muffins
The minute I arrived in Bordeaux, I fell in love. It's so beautiful; a wonderful mix of old and new, small enough to walk to most places, it feels safe and everyone seemed friendly and welcoming. We were only here for a few days and stayed at the Hotel Particulier: The hotel had mixed reviews … Continue reading Beautiful Bordeaux 🇫🇷
