My newest tattoo

This past year has been rough: Aside from Covid, we went from being a family of 6 down to a family of 3. Our sweet Merry crossed the Rainbow Bridge in May 2020, with Pippin following him on Christmas Eve 2020. Then in March 2021, we had to make the horrible and heartbreaking decision to … Continue reading My newest tattoo →

Doughnut Time: Liam Hemsworthy

During our week off, we finally decided to venture into London. This is the first time we have been into London since February 2020. As someone who went to university in London and then later working in London for most of my career, it felt very strange to be able to be a tourist once … Continue reading Doughnut Time: Liam Hemsworthy →

Creams chocolate strawberry cookie dough

Today marks the start of a well needed week off from work. When I last thought about, I haven't had a week off since Christmas and...needless to say I am absolutely shattered! My partner has also managed to book this week off so we have a very busy weekend planned of movie nights, lazy days … Continue reading Creams chocolate strawberry cookie dough →

Snuggle Sundays

Came across this gem of a photo while going through my phone the other day.... My little yin and yang bunnies. I still miss Sasha everyday, but seeing these pictures I know that we gave her a blooming good life. And I know that Lola has two forever cuddle buddies in myself and my partner. … Continue reading Snuggle Sundays →

As some of you may know, I am currently in the process of embracing and nurturing my true curly hair. I have spent at least the last 15 years straightening my hair, trying to tame it and control it and then getting mad when my hair would start to crimp at the slightest hint of … Continue reading Maui shea butter shampoo and conditioner →

Tesco Bakery Pretzels

The smell of a bakery is always so heartwarming, and during our weekly shop we actually managed to get to the store just as all of the freshly baked goods were being put onto display. The tiger bread and cupcakes definitely called us from across the store. Now I am 99.99% certain that these pretzels … Continue reading Tesco Bakery Pretzels →

Simmons lemon and sultana cake

Simmons is a small chain baking company in my local area, however with no actual store easy walking distance to me I have not actually been able to see their whole selection. They do have an online store, but as with most things they tend to have slightly different things on offer ins tore as … Continue reading Simmons lemon and sultana cake →

Plant Pioneers no sausage rolls

Another week, another sausage roll. Don't get me wrong I am all for this wide range of options, but could we possible get a few different options now? Would a pasty hurt anyone? I finally made the trek down to our local Sainsbury's and I must admit that their vegan range, Plant Pioneers, looked pretty … Continue reading Plant Pioneers no sausage rolls →
