In my latest Top 10 of Now post I mentioned that I had been back to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour in honour of thirtieth birthday milestones. Our original plan was to visit back in February, but just before booking our tickets it was announced that Platform 9 3/4 and the Hogwarts Express would be… Read more »

Out and About: Deal Castle
Whilst in Kent celebrating turning the big 3-0 we not only enjoyed discovering the glorious Deal cottages, we also had fun exploring Deal castle. Deal Castle is fairly prominent and obvious as you drive into Deal from Dover and is just across the road from the beach and the choppy sea beyond. Now owned and looked after by… Read more »
Out and About: The Bluebell Woods
There’s an area near to where I grew up that as kids we crowned the Bluebell Woods. As in the spring those gorgeous blue flowers would pop up out of nowhere and take over the woods. It was stunning. It was incredible how one week you’d visit the usual green woods and the next you’d… Read more »
Out and About: Travel Bucket List
This month I’ve decided to take part in Belinda’s Blog Every Day in May prompt. I won’t be doing every day, after all I’ve already missed the first two days!, but I will be joining in when the prompt is particularly appealing. I like the idea of writing when I get inspired by one of… Read more »
Out and About: Cosy and Colourful Cottages in Deal
Today’s post is all about the colourful cottages in Deal, one of the cutest little towns in Kent. But before we discuss those houses, let’s first talk about Kent. It’s one of those counties that I’ve visited but not visited, does that make any sense at all?! What I mean by this is that I’ve… Read more »
Out and About : The Top 10 of Deal
Last week Fi and I were in Deal for birthday celebrations with the parents and youngest sister and it was so perfect. I don’t think I’ve been this relaxed for quite some time. While that doesn’t bode well with the start of what I’m sure will be a manic week back at work, it was… Read more »
Out and About: Brunch Club Take One
I love brunch. In fact I wish I could have it every day and not just every now and again on a weekend. In case you’re not so enamored with this wondrous meal, let me share some of the reasons why brunch is a dream. You’re allowed to eat all the calories in one… Read more »
Out and About: A Weekend Away
At the end of January I spent a lovely relaxing weekend away in the Midlands with my sisters. This is becoming a bit of a tradition now, each year we investigate somewhere new around the UK, we find a cosy cottage and indulge in lots of walking, eating and catching up. I always have such… Read more »
Out and About: The Everyman Cinema
There’s nothing I like more than a night at the cinema. Comfy seats, good food and becoming completely engrossed in the latest offerings from the film world. Living in London there’s plenty of cinemas to choose from; Cineworld, Odeon, Empire and Vue but they are all so boring and similar. When I travelled in New… Read more »
Out and About: Ripley Common
A couple of weeks ago both Fi and I were at the parental abode for the weekend. As we were in the middle of half marathon training (eek!) we decided to head out on a run early Sunday morning with our Dad. The plan was to head out to Ripley and then run along the canal…. Read more »
