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…
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…
Ascot Christmas Market
We had planned on heading into London to go to Winter Wonderland, but with the recent terror incident in London, and some free tickets to a local Christmas Market, we decided to stay closer to home. I was a little disappointed but mostly elated that I wouldn’t have to go on the train again so…

I have mentioned before that one of the bonuses about being an expat is all the lovely people you meet that you normally wouldn’t have, but that it’s sad when those lovely people leave. It’s not as bad though when they end up just down the road from your family! Lesley is one of those…
Le Raj, Banstead, Surrey
The spot of “My Favourite Restaurant” is a really tricky one to fill. I like so many different types of food, and have been fortunate enough to eat in so many different countries, that I can never quite decide on an absolute winner. I mean, how do you choose between your favourite steak place vs…
The Barge House, London N1
You know how every now and again you see something on Instagram and think “I need that”? It could be a new face mask, or a mermaid blanket, or something delicious to eat. But you just know that you will have to have it in your life at some point. Well, that was me and…
My Chocolate
As laid out in my previous two posts (here and here), Mummy and I do love a good adventure. With this in mind and knowing that I would be home on certain dates, I bought us a chocolate making class via Virgin Experiences. It was a bit of a random gamble but I went with…
