Day three in Barcelona started in a gin bar, included hanging off the edge of a cliff and ended with paella and my first genuine enjoyment of eating squid. Here’s what happened in between.
Barcelona – Day Two
As we had hoped, we were greeted in the morning by uninterrupted blue skies and temperatures set to reach well into the 20s for the whole day. Hooray! Cue the shorts.
Barcelona – Day One
“Where you going?” “Barcelona” “Oh” “Don’t get up” – Stephen Sondheim, Company Now any post that opens with a show tune is my favourite kind of post but if that’s not your thing then fear not as musical mentions are over and making way for a few more of my favourite things (oops) – travel, …
Seven Dials | London
Covent Garden has always been and will probably continue to be my favourite part of London. From the bustling Piazza outwards into the streets of Soho and the lights of Theatreland there’s a wealth of places to eat, drink and certainly be merry. Rightly so the area is often overflowing with tourists however within a …
Leeds in a day
I’ve been wanting to visit Leeds for a number of years now so when we were invited to a wedding in the area it seemed like the perfect opportunity to finally get the chance to explore. An easy train ride from London, the journey took only 2 1/2 hours from the platform at Kings Cross to …
Dishoom | Covent Garden

Dishoom is exactly that type of restaurant. Billed as a Bombay …
DIY Cat Litter Bench
When thinking about how best to accommodate our new arrival I took inspiration from my favourite internet haven Pinterest (where else?) for all things crafty cat accessory. Our flat isn’t exactly teeming with extra space so I was really keen to use what little excess room was already available to us to incorporate some new feline …
Adopting a cat from Celia Hammond
HUGE NEWS. After years of asking, my dreams (or at least the feline based ones) have come true. We are now proud cat owners.
An actor’s life
Since leaving New York and Lee Strasberg I don’t think I’ve ever really spoken much about my acting work on the blog. That’s primarily because Adventures Of A Nice Girl now acts as an excellent way to distract myself from my (often questionable) career choice and reminds me I enjoy things other than daily rejection …
Cowley Manor
This weekend saw me venture back to the West Country to spend some time with family and friends. The Saturday was a day of celebrations for my Aunt Susan’s Birthday and the location of choice for our gathering was Cowley Manor. Cowley is a place we’ve visited several times over the years; it’s conveniently situated …
