family life & travels
To say I have lived down in the south for ten years now, I have still not explored all of the places that are close by to me. Kingston-upon-Thames, for example, is not all that far from me, but I can count on one hand the number of times that I have been. I am
It was an absolute pleasure to be invited to an Afternoon Tea inspired by the Duchess of Bedford in their new Repton Room at The Woburn Hotel. If you’ve ever been to Woburn in Bedfordshire, you’ll know what a gorgeous place it is. A quaint village nestled close to the Buckinghamshire border is home to
When we got married nine years ago, I’m not sure why we thought getting married on 2nd January was a good idea. I mean, it was a Friday, and with the Thursday being New Year’s Day, most people had the Friday off work too. So at the time, it seemed like a good plan. But

But when Jamie’s Italian in Guildford invited us along to review their new Super Lunch Menu, it was a fab excuse to go and dine out (as well as visiting our old stomping ground, where we lived when the husband was still studying). Having Max
This past week I turned thirty! Eeek, I can hardly believe it! It is such an end of an era saying goodbye to my twenties, literally. But I am looking forward to seeing what this next decade brings. Sometimes I get a little down on my birthday when certain people don’t get in touch, but
This past weekend we went on a much needed date night and we headed into London. I still find the term ‘date night’ a bit cringe, but it was fun to get away for an evening minus the children. I’d been invited to dine at the Pan Chai restaurant in the Harrods food hall, so
When it comes to eating out with the kids, it doesn’t happen that often. I don’t particularly have fussy eaters, just a son that changes his mind from day to day on what he likes. So it can be a little awkward knowing what he will eat. We try to do it every now and
