Inspiration. Travel. Life.
Champagne, cake and cats- present them in equal parts and I’m convinced you’ve got the antidote to, well, everything. Our Friday night will filled with these three magic ingredients (with a heavy emphasis on the latter) and in turn it was, quite simply, a wonderful occasion. I’m all for the alternative Valentine’s celebrations and so when the chance …
Every so often you get a Christmas present that really prevails. And when I say “you get” I really mean the boyfriend you live with gets. Sharing is caring, friends. This year the gift that literally keeps on giving was a subscription pack to The Spicery. On first glance it’s a nicely designed box with a …
How did you spend your Saturday night? I personally spent mine at a disused office building revelling in a variety of street food, music and bars all nicely placed under one roof for my convenience. Why? Because I live within very easy access of an overground station i.e. your one (9) stop mode of transport to East …
I love nothing more than the rare decadence of staying in hotels. And when I say staying I mean checking in early, using all the facilities and later abusing the easy access bar. Last weekend we did exactly that during a short trip to Birmingham. Believe it or not, the purpose of this trip was …
As a general rule I never like to visit the same place twice.

I wasn’t “blogging” per se at the time (although I did nicely document my location on a map on Tumblr) so until recently the photos and memories …
I can hardly believe I’m posting this as it really does feel like only yesterday last year’s trip was being planned. As you may or may not remember during our InterRailing trip last summer I won a photography competition (don’t be fooled, a future Mario Testino I am not) which meant I got a free …
I was met with a mixed (read-dubious) reception when I suggested making our own Marquee Light for the living room. Maybe because my previous experience in such a DIY was what some may call minimal to non existent. However, bored of hours spent scanning the internet for such a light at an affordable price I …
New Year’s Eve day is the new New Year’s Eve night (said, well, no-one) and in honour of this we finished 2014 with a few of our very favourite things. Sadly whiskers on kittens didn’t make the cut however food, wine and river views were consumed plentifully throughout the day before heading home for a …
