By the time we reached Day 4 of our minimoon, we were feeling nicely rested up. If you haven’t noticed the lack of going out for meals in the posts, let me point it out for you now – we knew we would be tired after the wedding, but I wasn’t prepared for the total…
I thought picking a date for our wedding would be easy, but it turns out it isn’t. Especially when you’re a super indecisive person like me. I wrote all about this in a newsletter (that was recent when I wrote this post…last year – I just found it in my drafts!) but I am a stereotypical Libra…
Ah, Germany. A country famous for its beer, meat, and wearing funny outfits at the Oktoberfest. But deep down, there’s a lot more to Deutschland than food and drink. Stunning nature, fascinating history, and a populace willing to move on and progress from its dark past all make up this amazing country. So while it’s…
Hello everyone! By the time this post goes out, I’ll be away on our minimoon in the Cotswolds and (eek!) married!! See you all when I’m back! You might have already figured out that I love travelling – I spend half my time writing about it, the other half dreaming about it or doing it. While…
Earlier in the year, I shared a post about ethical and sustainable decisions I’m making in my lifestyle in 2018. The biggest one of these for me was thinking more about plastic and how much of it there is around me in my daily life. A lot of people have been talking about this recently,…
This preamble often seems to take stuff from my “Doing” heading, so I’m launching straight in – here we go! Reading So I might have to do this a little different than usual and go back to my separate posts with book reviews. The reason? I joined the library and read ALL the books this…
So can we all agree that while January was a total write off (at least for me and my flu), February was also not one for the record books? Or maybe it was…in terms of weather. Because, yep, that’s all we Brits can talk about right now: the snow. I ended up stuck at home…
Weddings are really expensive – who would have thought! It seems like as soon as you stick the word “wedding” onto something, the price doubles or triples. We knew from the outset that we didn’t want a really expensive wedding – it is just one day after all. But even so, the costs add up…
Do you ever occasionally sit back and look at your life, thinking about how you got to where you are now? When you’re younger, you have dreams and plans and ideas. Your goals might only extend to the end of the day, but when people ask you, “What do you want to do when you…
Vintage Suit Hire Blazer & Waistcoat | Dobell Bow Tie | Linden Flowers Buttonhole | House of Fraser Brogues | ASOS shirt The countdown to the wedding seems to have got faster over the last couple of months. Even though I totally expected the time would fly by, I’m still kind of shocked that it’s…
It’s no secret that Italy is one of my favourite places in the world, after the National Parks of America. I love the weather, the romanticism, the food, the more laid-back way of life, the culture and, of course, the history. As a Classics and Latin graduate, I’ve spent a lot of my life learning…
Did anyone else notice the temperature plummet a good 10 degrees this weekend? I’d been getting along perfectly happy with the weather as it was – the occasional flurries of snow and the ice that has been covering my car and our road had been starting to decrease and diminish somewhat recently. I know it’s…
