Wing Walking Super Mum for Parkinson's UK!


With Mother's Day on our minds, I thought I would share with you an amazing story about a wonderful mum and her crazy fundraising efforts, guest posted by her daughter, Eleanor. It would be really lovely if you could share this post on your own Social Media platforms, in order to spread the word and raise as much money as possible for an amazing cause. Thank you.

Bellissima Bella Italia


Boy with BreadsticksOh my goodness. I may never eat again. I don't think I have ever eaten so much food. The trouble is, you know when food is just sooooo lovely, you don't want to stop eating, even though you seriously risk exploding like an over-inflated barage balloon? At Bella Italia it's all about flavour. Not just the flavour of the food, which was epic, but also the flavour of Italy. It's everywhere, from the decor, to the titles of the dishes on the menu. My first impression of the venue was extremely positive. It was very clean and well organised, but the part that I really appreciated was the atmosphere, it was just so friendly and welcoming.

Bolognese Pitta Pocket!


Bolognese Pitta Pocket
Quick recipe for a delicious lunch! A recipe involving my favourite ingredient, leftovers!
If you enjoy a homemade Spaghetti Bolognese, you probably, like me, make far too much. I don't know what it is about anything involving mince, but I always overdo the portions. It may be because it's easy to forget how filling it is. No matter how scrumptious and lovingly created it is, you can still only cram in so much. Fear not, though, because I have a suggestion that means you can relive your favourite meal, as a delicious lunchtime treat!

Valentine's Pillow Talk


It's no secret that I am not fond of the same old, same old Valentine's gifts that are trotted out every year by the major retail chains. It's boring, predictable and it's time to think differently. I have already posted about some alternative suggestions for the day, to keep things fresh and personal to your relationship, but I just had to take a moment to share with you this fantastic gift idea from  Love Pillow Cases.

Alternative Valentine Ideas

Drawing of confused man with Valentine's cards. It's really easy in this country to know exactly what time of year it is. You don't need a swanky organiser, a smartwatch, or even a calendar, the lovely retail industry has it covered. All you have to do is stand in the aisle of any major supermarket and all will be clear. So after, obviously, Christmas, which began in some of our local shops towards the end of September, we had the January Sales (Boxing Day) and now, we are already knee-deep in cheesy verses and tacky, cheap accessories. Oh yes, it's no good trying to hide, the marketing boffins have already got you surrounded.
