Christmas Starts Here – Birmingham Christmas Markets

Christmas officially started this week as far as I’m concerned! Don’t worry. I’m not so forward as to have done anything so foolish as put my Christmas tree up in November (I’ll be doing that tomorrow). But on Tuesday night I took a trip to Birmingham to visit their amazing Frankfurt Christmas Market. I went

Vintage Girls Party Season Survival Kit

I expect your doormat is aflutter with gilt-edged invitations? No? But surely your mantelpiece is groaning from the weight of all those heavy embossed cards you’ve received? No?

Christmas Giveaway Heads Up!

Review – Gorilla Sports Fit Pack

  • by

In September I promised to add more strength training to my exercise routine, which has led to me investing in a few bits of equipment, such as a a wobble board to do planks on for core strength and a stupid pull up bar which goes over a door. For the record I can currently

The Countdown to Christmas

Every year I write one of these posts about advent calendars for grown ups in hope. And every year I buy myself an advent calendar from the pound shop on the second of December. Still, I continue to live in hope, and life is nothing without hope. So here’s a selection of some of the

When I started running I was aware that something sporty in the bra department would be necessary to keep my chest from giving black eyes to passers by. I owned 2 “sports bras” one came from Primark and was about as useful as chocolate fireguard in the bounce stopping department (and chocolate fireguards are even

Seaside Style

There’s no time like Autumn to take a trip to the seaside. All the Summer crowds are gone and you can often have the place completely to yourself, while still enjoying fish and chips on a windswept pier. I think there’s something quite melancholy about the seaside out of season. But in a good way
