You might think this post is going to be all about the treat that is cheese (with wine and gin thrown in for good measure). You'd be half right, but the real treat was having the lovely Laura, George, and Emma over to enjoy a table full of food with me at home. Shout out [...]
Home is wherever I have these faces to look at. Preferably; it's warm, and I have a cup of tea in my hand. Birmingham is full of my favourite places and faces; it's 100% home. I've lived in Nottingham, Sydney, and intend to live in Toronto for a while in the future. But, Birmingham will [...]
I've got some pretty amazing friends. As it's Brum Blogmas; I thought I'd pop some pictures of our annual German Market get-together that happened on Friday (8/12) to keep it brummie and festive. Obviously, I wish all of my friends were there so that I could include everyone in this post, but this was the [...]
As day ten's prompt fell on Sunday 10th December; I'm going to leave you here with some images of my favourite weather, that arrived in full force to settle in Brum. It was so lovely to see people making snow people together, strangers throwing snowballs for my dog to fetch, and just how pretty Birmingham [...]
When I think of winter warmers; I think of hot food and drinks, but you probably suspected that anyway. Therefore, I thought I'd include a few of my favourite hot beverages that you can enjoy around Brum at this time of year. I've picked these in particular, because of the taste, and the festive settings. [...]
There are always little things and big things on my annual naughty list... I'll list eight things because it's day eight (see what I did)... Bad manners Lack of empathy or kindness Cold feet (mine) Neuropathy (you might need to Google it, but trust me; it's effing painful) Anxiety Baked beans (no no no) Clowns [...]
Since I started this blog; I've had the pleasure of meeting some absolute poppets, lovelies, sweet peas, good eggs, and (if you haven't vommed yet) those who should live on nice lists everywhere. As someone who suffers severe social anxiety at times; I was a little worried about getting into blogging and travelling out to [...]
Much like my favourite festive films; I can't pick just one or two decorations. All of my Christmas decorations are special to me; they all hold memories, and I know exactly where each one is from. I love an eclectic mix of styles; at the moment, I'm favouring vintage style glass ornaments. However, if something [...]
I just couldn't pick a favourite film for this prompt; there are so many. My tastes firmly sit in the 80s and early 90s when it comes to preference of festive films. However, I even love those horrendous Channel 5, made-for-TV movies. They're always set in a town that is obsessed with Christmas, there's an [...]
When I saw the prompt for day two of Brum Blogmas; I immediately thought about the Christmas cards I illustrated in 2014. I was working as a freelance illustrator for a while, and I got to do some exciting projects with Birmingham Children's Hospital, and some lovely commissions for gifts and special occasions. When I [...]
