I’m not normally a fan of challenges involving food, because they’re normally of the “eat a whole cow in 10 minutes and get it free” variety, but I took part in this one because it was a little different! Indigo Herbs are a small family run company based in Glastonbury, and they wanted to send

Things I Bought and a Spot of Roller Derby

Nautical but Nice

I hope you all had a lovely weekend? I had a busy one, and it’s continuing into a busy few weeks to come, but this particular busy weekend was all fun stuff! Sunday was my Dads 60th Birthday and we were taking him out for lunch to celebrate. I wanted something nice to wear, and

See the Norfolk Brawds in Action

Remember last year I took up Roller Derby? Well after a year as a Norfolk Brawd I finally passed my Minimum Skills test and am a fully fledged team member, just waiting for my first proper Roller Derby bout. I’m really proud with what I’ve achieved in the last year, though I have a long
