Following our lovely day bumbling along at the beach we headed home to relax a little. The relaxing involved a Hallmark Christmas Movie (one of our favourite seasonal treats!) and a glass of wine! After that though it was off out to revisit a couple of Mummy’s favourite Downtown activities! On our way we had a…

Finding My Happy
On 8th September 1997, I broke my first ever pair of ice skates. I hadn’t used them in a couple of years and hadn’t stored them with any kind of care and attention because I was an unappreciative asshole as a teenager. As I was doing a lap of Guildford Spectrum’s ice, the ankle padding…
Introducing Albert
I’ve been a bit busy to post much over the last couple of weeks, and one of those reasons is that my very best friend in the whole wide world is visiting from South Africa! Meet Albert:
The Perfect Proposal?
I spent yesterday (aherm, last week) binge watching trash tv. It’s my guilty pleasure. I don’t watch things that make me think, or things that make me smart. I watch pure rubbish. And I am very happy with that. However, yesterday everyone seemed to be getting engaged. (Skip this if you don’t want spoilers… Although…
RIP Grandma xx

In Remembrance
4.5yrs ago I had the most heartbreaking email. My friend Alexei Kuzmichev had died. He was found dead of a heart attack on New Years Day, at the age of 36. This week would have been his 40th birthday. He was my “crazy little Russian”. My friend. My coworker. We had a running joke between…
Cooking like Mama
Comfort food. Your Mum does it better than anyone else on the planet. Have you noticed that? You can go to the beat chef types on the planet, but they still aren’t as good as your Mum. That’s the case for me anyway. My Mum is an amazing cook. I literally don’t know how she…
#LoveWins
This Friday, the US Supreme court announced that same sex marriage is legal in all States in America. Those who currently have bans in place, will have them lifted. There was only 14 states that it was illegal but that is 14 too many in my mind. Why, as someone who is straight and English,…
