Well this feels strange. It's the first time in a long time that I've had any inclination to type anything. I feel rusty, in many, many ways. For future reference, we are currently in the third lockdown of the pandemic; I don't mean the royal "we", just, you know, the UK. Everyone is over it [...]
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 [...]
If you haven't guessed already, I've just enjoyed my 35th birthday. I just never pictured myself at this age (lolz); I mean, I didn't think I'd die young or anything, but even now when I think about future plans, I peak at about 30. Anyway, it's been an interesting ride so far, and I'd like [...]
So, I was invited to an evening of whiskey (which can also be spelt whisky! I know, who knew? Well, Vicky did actually) tasting. I'm not drinking. "Don't worry!

However, this probably means that you haven't suffered social anxiety or agoraphobia before (I envy you so bad); that's cool, this post might still give you some ideas in regards to getting your next caffeine fix. I bloody [...]
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 [...]
I was lucky enough to be invited to try the Spring cocktail menu at Tom's Kitchen in The Mailbox in Brum; obviously I said yes immediately, and apologised to my liver and blood sugars in advance. I'm actually writing up this review at the start of being sober for the foreseeable future due to health [...]
Snuggled into a little row of shops in Edgbaston, opposite the White Swan Pub, sits Don Diego; a restaurant run by two brothers, serving up fresh homestyle food full of Mediterranean flavour. I visited on a Saturday night with my husband Marv; we were lucky enough to share a table and have a double date [...]
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 [...]
