This Autumn is certainly unusual on the fashion-front. The pandemic and working from home has certainly had an influence on what we buy (if we buy) and the fashion industry seems to have responded to this with an emphasis on loungewear and more easy to wear/practical pieces. I for one, am certainly going out a … Continue reading Autumn Fashion Updates
Carrot cake is one of my favourites and I am so happy that I have managed to successfully adapt a recipe my Mum makes into a gluten-free one. I think most of us have found baking to be extremely therapeutic and calming this year and this has always been the case for me. Making something … Continue reading Carrot Cake (GF)
Having made the decision to not travel abroad this year, like many people we had to do a quick u-turn and book a staycation. We really couldn’t have done better than the Old Hay Barn at Bibury Farm Barns. This is one of 5 beautifully restored self-catering barns on a working farm a short walk … Continue reading Bibury Farm Barns 🇬🇧
I expect most people’s buying habits have changed somewhat this year. Even during lockdown, when living in leggings I would find myself reaching for a good pair of earrings to lift my spirits and instead of buying clothes I found myself seeking out new jewellery and beauty products. Gold hoops seem to have become more … Continue reading Jewellery Update 2020
Travelling in 2020 is a bit different for everyone this year. We took the difficult decision to not to travel abroad considering this was how the pandemic spread in the first place.

I always forget in the colder months how gorgeously comfortable dresses are. It’s been so nice to get my Summer dresses out of my wardrobe and even though we have decided to postpone our travelling abroad until next year, just seeing these colourful items again, has made me feel instantly in holiday mode. Even if … Continue reading Summer Dresses 2020
Ok, so I’ve held back on sharing this recipe as it seems that every man, woman and beast has been making banana cake/bread these last few months but this one’s a goodie. It’s basically an adaptation of the plain banana cake I posted quite a while back and I have to say, I think this … Continue reading GF Chocolate Chip Banana Cake
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
