May is the best month of the year. Well, one of the best months of the year anyway. There are lots of excellent months, but only one of them contains my birthday (that’s May in case you were wondering). But before I dive forward into a month of cake, cocktails and, er, obstacle races (gulp!)…

Today I’ve come over all introspective. Over the weekend, while drinking sophisticated cocktails with friends and suddenly noticing the bruises from that days Roller Derby scrim starting to bloom on my arms I started to ponder those decisions that you make in your life that change who you are. Then I stopped and carried on…

So it’s April Fools Day and I have spent all morning disbelieving everything I read. But as it’s midday now I hope I am safe from being convinced by clear marmite, Nutella candles (I would totally buy these) or instagram filters for car windscreens. It’s Easter this weekend, but I don’t exactly have a relaxing…

Today I am taking a mini break. As you read this I’m probably relaxing somewhere fun. Or maybe I’m stuck in a traffic jam. Either way, todays post is a quick round up of some of my favourite frocks from All the Dresses that I’ve shared over the last month! Heyday! Cock-a-doodle-do dress Oh my,…

It’s Mother’s Day this weekend. A quick note for Americans, that’s Mothering Sunday, the one we have in the UK, the one that’s related to Easter and was originally about returning to your Mother Church, rather than the one that greetings cards companies made up to make you feel guilty about never seeing your Mother…

It is now March, and I am determined that means it is Spring, despite the fact that I can actually see hail outside the window right now! I coming up in the next few months I have my first ever B team bout with the Norfolk Brawds, Eastern Sur5al and the Trowse 10k on Easter…

Yeah, I know, it’s not over yet. But if I instagram anything interesting tonight or tomorrow (and I might as I have *plans* tonight) then you can see it in live action if you follow me on Instagram! I quite enjoy these little instagram reflections. Instagram gets a bad rep for creating the impression that…

I hope you’re all ready to say goodbye to January? I’ve had a good month, but I’m more than ready to get on with the rest of the year and I’ve already kicked February off to a good start with a 6 hour Roller Derby boot camp yesterday, though I do feel a little bit…

Are you back at work today? Being self-employed I’m back in a half-hearted sort of way that means I might still be slipping Tia Maria in my coffee and ignoring the boring work, because who’s really paying attention to anything before the 5th of January, really? I also still have the traditional Christmas sucky cold,…
