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. So Spain has been put on hold and we decided on Devon, in particular; Dartmouth, as we luckily have access to a holiday … Continue reading Devon Summer 2020
We’ll soon be off on our first staycation this Summer and although it’s not what we had planned, it will be so nice to have a change of scenery. Devon is not a hotbed of style and I expect we’ll be doing a lot of walking, so I’ll mostly be wearing quite casual clothes but … Continue reading Packing for Devon Summer 2020
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
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
I have always loved a lemon tart/tarte au citron and now that I’ve been at home for quite a while, I’ve found that I finally have some time and patience to indulge in some gluten-free baking and experimenting. Obviously if you’re not gluten-free you can either use a standard pastry recipe or buy your own … Continue reading Lemon Tart (GF)
Seeing as we’re all stuck inside at the moment it’s very easy just to slob-out and give-up making an effort, but we sometimes forget the transformative nature of what we wear to reflect our mood and this is so important at the moment. It doesn’t mean we have to compromise on comfort, which is also … Continue reading Lockdown Loungewear
