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 »
Out and About: Travelling in Europe
{unsplash – Liane Metzler} So here’s the thing. I can’t afford a holiday and yet I’ve got severe wanderlust for EVERYWHERE in Europe right now. What is it about the start of the year that makes you want to visit all the places at once? Are you planning holidays at the moment too? It can’t… Read more »
Out and About: Southbank Christmas Market, London
One of my favourite things to do in December is visit the Christmas market on the Southbank. You can guarantee you’ll find mulled wine, christmas gifts, festive songs and good food and for me this just signals the start of the festive season. I’m lucky enough to work on the Strand so I’m just a hop, skip and… Read more »

So I’ve been a bit lax on this blog recently, but life has been so busy and I’ve not had time to type stuff up on here – so sorry about that! I will get better I promise! Anyway, let’s turn back to almost two weeks ago when I headed to Taste of Winter at… Read more »
Out and About: The Harry Potter Studio Tour – The Third Time is a Charm*
On Saturday I visited the Harry Potter Studio Tour in Watford for the third time in three years and it was AMAZING. Months and months ago a friend started moaning about marrying a muggle and how, while he would go on the tour with her, visiting with him just wouldn’t be the same as going with… Read more »
Out and About: Afternoon Tea at The Charlotte Street Hotel
Being thoroughly British means that I absolutely adore a spot of Afternoon Tea. It’s practically an institution in this country and I am always looking for a reason to sample tea from a new place. So when it came to deciding on a birthday treat for our Mum, my sisters and I were quickly in agreement,… Read more »
Out and About: NFL London
On Sunday I’ll be heading to Wembley for my second NFL London match of the year and I can’t flipping wait! It’s such a brilliant sporting event and having watched the Superbowl and other American Football matches on TV for so long it’s great to finally go to an actual proper bona fide American Football… Read more »
Out and About: Poppies at the Tower
For a while now Fi and I have both been harking on about doing more of the tourist things in and around London. We’ve both become guilty of ignoring the places closes to us. Silly I know, as we are both incredibly lucky to live where we do, so we really should make the most… Read more »
