I was lucky enough to be invited to a festive photography masterclass back in November, with Viking. Heading into Dirty Martini in the city centre meant that I was already feeling the Christmas spirit, especially as the German Market had been set-up. Walking up the stairs in the venue, I spotted tables filled with crackers [...]
I have lived just off St Paul's Square in the JQ for over 4 years now, and there has been a friend on the square, with whom I've become very attached. Saint Kitchen has had a couple of makeovers since I arrived in the area, and has got better and better each year. It now [...]
So, I thought I’d document what I consider to be a bad week regarding my anxiety. It was actually a recent week, and it’s fresh in my mind, so I feel like you’ll get a thorough account of my thought process, behaviour, and coping mechanisms. I know that I said in my previous anxiety post [...]
Brunch is by far my favourite meal; it's better than breakfast because it feels so leisurely, but you get to have all the breakfast-type foods you can think of. For me, brunch must always include coffee and eggs; the rest can vary (if you want to hand me a glass of fizz, and add some [...]
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 [...]
Last Friday, after going for lunch at Saint Paul's House; I thought that I should really cook, save money, and use up what was in my fridge. However, my husband returned home with all the Friday feelings, asked if I wanted to go out for dinner, and I immediately said yes (no food-related willpower whatsoever). [...]
I thought I'd do my first recipe post today; it's a super simple pancake recipe that I love (perfect for weekend breakfast/brunch/hangovers etc). These are pancakes that I cook a lot; however, I thought I'd add some of my matcha green tea powder to see what the results were like. The results were yum. Green. [...]
One of my favourite things to do (apart from eating stuff and being alive every Christmas) is to look at people's interior spaces. All the nooks and shelves fascinate me; how people display their sentimental stuff alongside the bits that gather over time, like change, receipts, and post. I'm pretty curious, actually I'm basically nosy, [...]
This week I had an exciting invite to go and see what the shiny new Canal House (and James Brindley's old residence no less) had to offer us brummies and all those who visit our fine city. The night started with a canal boat; my husband and I watched our heads as we ventured onboard [...]
The High Field in Edgbaston has long been a food and drinks favourite of mine. I've never had a bad meal there, or suffered any bad service; actually, the service is lovely and one of the many reasons I keep returning. I've celebrated my wedding anniversary there (along with a stay in The High Field [...]
