I won’t lie, I went to google a recipe for plum and nectarine jam. I had a load of plums and nectarines that I’d bought from a market stall with jam in mind. Autumn is a fantastic time of year for produce. Plums are in a abundance and they are just as good sweet as…
Hamper season has started…
I currently have 47 jars of jam or chutney in my fridge, and it’s not going to stop there either… there is more red onion chutney to make as I feel i have just made the best red onion chutney in my life and it only made three jars… three jars! I spent an hour…
#WorldMentalHealthDay
As it’s World Mental Health Day, I feel the need to talk. The stigma that surrounds mental health bothers me, it’s something people should not be ashamed of and I have been ashamed for far too long. I’ve spent my evening looking through social media – the stem of some people’s anxiety issues and have…
Dinner at Cau, Bath
Despite proactively complaining and being against turning 28, and I really truly was, I somehow ended up going out twice for birthday dinner. I’m very lucky and very spoiled and the two meals I did eat were absolutely incredible. I’d never really heard of Cau before, it’s hidden away in the square of restaurants in…
Birthday Dinner at Kenzo 72
A few months ago, I was wandering around Old Town with my mum one Sunday morning when I happened to glance upon the menu for Kenzo 72. I hadn’t been there and if I’m honest, hadn’t paid much attention to the restaurant opening! A glance at the menu, with it’s chinese fusion food and steak…
Here’s to 28…
This time last week, I was sat in a field watching a cricket match all in the name for work and charity. Thoughts of the impending 2-8 the following day were swallowed up by family, cake, tea and ‘will we actually win this cricket match?’ (we didn’t). I’ll be the first to admit that actually,…
Nut & Honey Popcorn…
So… Waitrose pulled a blinder this month, not only did their magazine – the magazine of which I am a number 1 of – have MEXICAN FOOD on the front cover and inside it and just well, everywhere – it also had recipes for popcorn. Now, everyone is a fan of popcorn and if you’re…
Travel Diary: The Devon Coast
Every year me, Mum and my niece go down to Devon for a few days and this year was no exception. With a few days extra on our hands, we had a little more time to explore our local surroundings a little more and we left the car at home (well, at where we stayed)…
Glastonbury Round Up…
I love, love, LOVE Glastonbury, when and if I am lucky enough to get tickets, it’s my favourite week of the year. Anticipation starts in October, increases in January and as soon as the first hint of spring sunshine hits, I’m in full on Glasto mode. At least in my head… this is going to…
A-MAY-Zing.
May has whizzed by, so quickly. It’s whizzed in a blur of sun, rain, thunder, dogs and gin. Always the gin… Heres a brief round up of my activities within the merry month of May..it’s been a hectic and fun month! May starts and ends with bank holidays, hoorah! and as always they are pretty…
A snippet of New York in Oxfordshire
I know I am guilty about banging on about it, and it’s just a park, but I’m not kidding when I say that I just fell completely in love with Bryant Park and the coffee at Le Pain Quotidien. When I heard that the coffee shop was a chain, I will admit I was a…
Pizza at Flour & Ash
So, I’m apparently on a pizza eating tour of Bristol… I’m quite new to Bristol’s pizza offering to be honest, and if I can be even more honest, I didn’t even realise I was on a pizza eating tour of Bristol! But I’m not complaining because pizza is the best food in the…
