My new cross body bag arrived in the post today! It’s by Fossil and is part of their oilcloth key-per range, my last bag was also this brand but I’ve worn it out. đ As I was transferred my stuff from my old bag to my new bag, I decided to make note of what I carry with me on a daily basis. My Fossil brand purse – self explanatory…

Springtime Walk in The Cotswolds: Easter 2016
Happy Easter! đ Or Happy Monday to those that don’t celebrate it. Today, my family and I have been celebrating with a lovely roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings (thanks Mum!). Followed by dessert, exchanging Easter eggs, and a lovely Springtime walk in the Cotswolds. Springtime Walk in The Cotswolds One of the things I love about a Springtime walk – not only in The Cotswolds – is how…

Mother’s Day at Swind-Con
March 6th was Mother’s day in the UK (I know some countries celebrate it in May) and my dad and I took my mum out to Swind-Con for the day on the Saturday held at M.E.C.A. in Swindon. Her choice! We started off for breakfast in our usual cafĂ© (Brogans) where I had a bacon and cheese panini, mum had poached egg on toast and dad had a “Brogan’s breakfast”…

Spring London Film and Comic Con – Nick Frost
This weekend was Spring London Film and Comic Con and I headed down on the Saturday to meet Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Attack the Block, Hot Fuzz etc) and catch up with some friends. The day started early with us catching the coach to London at around 5am so we could get in the queue early and have a better chance at meeting Nick Frost, it’s never guaranteed…

Tattoo planning
May 6th 2016 will be 10 years since my first (and only!) tattoo. For those that don’t know it’s on my lower back and is the same as the one Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer has on her arm, I wrote a post about my tattoo experience / 18th birthday at the time. I’ve had various ideas for tattoos since but nothing I love enough to go ahead with,…

Valentine’s Day 2016
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you’ll know I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day, I’ll give presents and maybe do some heart shaped themed baking (I love baking) but havenât celebrated much more than that. Ryan was at work today, cooking for many couples that had booked a table at the restaurant, I knew he’d be tired and hungry when he got home and decided to treat…

Pancake Day
I used to hate pancakes, now I really enjoy them, especially American style pancakes (nom nom). I’m not sure why I changed my opinion! I like mine with chocolate spread usually or yoghurt. Today was pancake day in the UK (the last Tuesday before lent) and mum treated us to a generous helping of British style pancakes, the recipe is similar to crepes. I enjoyed mine with Morissons chocolate spread,…

Cirencesterâs bookshop cafĂ©
Cirencester bookshop Waterstones opened their new cafĂ© at the end of January and we visited for a coffee and a cake last weekend. Previously the space had been home to a Costa Coffee which we very rarely visited (there was already another larger Costa Coffee in the town). We were presently surprised by the new cafĂ©, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Speaking with the staff we found out…
