I worked out the other day that in less than 12 weeks, I will be sat on my Mum’s sofa with the dog, a tub of Heroes/Quality Street or another type of Christmas treat, watching a Hallmark movie with my Mum, who is incapable of sitting for a whole film, pottering around half paying attention. …

My First Wreath Making Attempt
Hands up if you didn’t know that I was addicted to the Hallmark Channel! No one? Oh good! So it won’t come as much of a surprise then that when given the chance to go wreath making, I absolutely jumped at it!
The Great Christmas Sandwich Debate!!
As you may have noticed from Christmases past, I absolutely LOVE Christmas food. Turkey is the best of all the meats, but when you mix with with stuffing and exciting bits then it is epic! These items also work very well in sandwiches so I made it my mission when I was back in England…
Haskins Garden Centre
One way you can shift me off the couch the day after an overnight flight with maybe a total of an hours sleep, is to bribe me with breakfast. A cooked breakfast. A proper cooked breakfast with bacon. And sausage. And egg.
Christmassing with the Family
Everyone always says that Christmas is about the children. I mostly agree with that statement although like to think that I’m actually still a child really so it’s about me too! This year however I went back to the UK in the run up to Christmas and spent time with my niece and nephews. I…
Bay Square

When I was a child, my Mummy had surgery a bit too close to Christmas for my Dad’s liking. In order to play the supportive husband card and get as many brownie points as possible, he booked to take the four of us plus my maternal Grandmother and Grandfather out to dinner on Christmas Day. …
Post Xmas Lunch Waddle
Because let’s be honest… that is exactly what it was! I had eaten so much that you probably could have rolled me around! Mum was more sensible than me but declined on the pushing so I took off my very high heeled (for me) shoes and off we went! Al Qasr is conveniently located next…
An Al Qasr Christmas!
For as long as I have been in Dubai, Al Qasr has been THE place to have your Christmas lunch. They were always recognised as one of the best and if you hadn’t booked between July and September, then you weren’t getting in. Imagine my surprise and delight when I called in mid-December and got…
Bvlgari Afternoon Tea
Although Mum and I had decided that we weren’t doing “flashy Dubai” this vacation, it was Christmas and so there had to be a few lovely treats involved. The one I was most excited about was going to the recently opened Bvlgari Hotel for their afternoon tea. Afternoon tea is one of Mum and my…
