Christmas Haul 2013

January 16, 2014

Christmas and the new year has come and gone, and I am just about recovered.  As I mentioned before I've had a very busy Christmas this year and after I'd opened my gifts and had some family time I was soon whisking myself up north to Cumbria to visit my boyfriends' family before traveling back to my boyfriends in Hertford, having a quick stop off in London before finally heading back home to Yorkshire.  This all meant I didn't really get a chance to really look at all the loverly things people READ the POST

Selfies of 2013

January 5, 2014

Time for a bit of narcissism!  I've not been feeling great about myself lately, in fact I am currently feeling pretty dam awful.  Post christmas has left me a lot heavier, my skin is bad, my hairs a state and looking through these photos I can tell I've aged this year.  With that in mind, I've seen this 'selfies of 2013' tag floating around on tumblr and a few other places and I thought maybe this would make me feel a little better and remind me of some of the stuff I've done this year.  So READ the POST

Books 2013: Part 5

January 3, 2014

Hello, remember me?  Its been a while!  I've been ill on and off for months and when I finally got a chance to relax over Christmas I decided to lock the laptop away.  A whole 2 weeks away from the internet!  I spent part of Christmas with my family, part with my boyfriend's family, and part just with my boyfriend.  It was great and really refreshing, but now I have so much to catch up on!  We are past the half way mark with my books of 2013!  So lets get on READ the POST

Booking a food tour with Get Your Guide is quickly becoming a staple of my trips!  I love that I can get so many local foods tried as well as learning about the history and culture and the food is always excellent.  It’s especially great when I’m doing a city break and short on time!  Let me know your Italian faves!
