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: 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 »

I’m lucky enough to work on the Strand so I’m just a hop, skip and… Read more »

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: 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 »
