I bloody love winding down, but that's the sort of crazy lifestyle I lead in the winter. After a busy day out and about, my first priority is to take my bra off. Sorry if that's TMI, but if you're a bra-wearing human, I think you'll get what I mean. On this occasion; I'm going [...]
Like everyone I always indulge at Christmas; however, I have to be a little more careful regarding keeping my blood sugars level. I'm also very prone to infections when I eat and drink too much errmmm, festiveness. Therefore, when I reach the new year; my body is literally begging me to step away from creamy, [...]
I managed to nip out, on my way to get some Langley's Gin from Connolly's Wine in the JQ, and grab a picture of the last bit of sun for the day. I love this view from my street, of the BT Tower and the library snuggled at the back there, with the winter sun [...]
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 [...]
As today's prompt is Red; I thought I'd mention the Free Period protest that's happening tomorrow. It's part of the campaign to give girls from low income families, free sanitary products. It's in Parliament Square London if you want to go and can make it, from 5 - 8 pm, and you should wear RED. [...]
The reason I've combined these two days is mainly to save myself a little time (gotta be real with ya). However, the biggest tradition in my family, whatever the celebration, always involves food. I'm lucky enough to have a mom who cooks and bakes the most delicious food, all year round. But, at Christmas; it's [...]
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'm reflecting on the fact that I don't always have the energy to keep up with Brum Blogmas. It's two days after this should have gone up, and I think that's okay. My health, and the resulting ability to do everything I want to, goes up and down. A year or so ago I would [...]
Putting the decorations up on my tree every year is one of my favourite parts of Christmas. Therefore, I'll keep this simple and show you our 2017 Christmas tree...The star is a bit wonky, but I love it all the same. Peace, love, and pine needles, Fay x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz1aCDjTz5U
As I haven't given out, or received (and opened) any Christmas presents just yet; I thought I'd say a few things about the gift that keeps on giving (to me). I am so grateful for the NHS; it keeps me alive, and all my care, medication, and hospital stays are absolutely free. When I look [...]
