Anyone that knows me can tell you how obsessed with homeware I am. I've been this way since I was a teenager, always collecting bits and pieces here and there for 'my own home, when I'm grown up'. Well, now I'm grown up and the obsession hasn't ended. If I see a homeware store, I … Continue reading My Favourite Homeware Shops
Updated June 2020: I initially wrote this list about 5 years ago but as time changes, so have my goals - hence the update. A bucket list is basically a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. Everyone's is different, and it can include literally anything; whatever is important to … Continue reading MY BUCKET LIST
The final part of our road trip landed us literally, at the end of the road. John O'Groats is the most Northernly inhabited place in the UK/Scotland and we stayed there for our two last nights before returning to London. LAIRG We drove up to John O'Groats from our little cottage just outside Inverness, stopping … Continue reading Scottish Road Trip on a Budget| Part 3 | John O’Groats
As to be expected, this May has been different than any other May on record. We all know why, so I'm not going to get into that instead I'm going to focus on the things that have been keeping me occupied during this very weird time. If you're looking for some inspiration or just fancy … Continue reading May Favourites
Following on from the last post, in which we travelled from London to Edinburgh, then up to Inverness - at this point in the journey we were staying just outside Inverness at Balnagown Estates.

It's amazing how much sunny weather can lift your mood (even if like me, you can only spend a couple of hours in the sun before it all becomes too much). It's been lovely going for walks in the sunshine without a jacket, … Continue reading 7 THINGS I’VE ENJOYED (AT HOME) THIS WEEK | POST 8
A few years back my parents and I undertook a mammoth road trip around Scotland - it was incredible, but looking back we endeavoured to take in a bit too much in the time we had, meaning we didn't get to spend much time in each place. So this time, when my boyfriend and I … Continue reading Scottish Road Trip on a Budget | Part 1 | Edinburgh to Inverness
Here in the UK lockdown has been eased ever so slightly but I am continuing as I was before; only leaving the house for exercise and to get food shopping. There are lots of obvious things I miss - seeing my family (and my dog), holidays, going to the pub etc but I'm also thinking … Continue reading 7 THINGS I’VE ENJOYED (AT HOME) THIS WEEK | POST 7
Updated May 2020 It took me a long time to compile this list simply because I kept disagreeing with myself. I planned a top ten then contemplated making it longer, to fit in the other places that definitely do warrant a mention but sadly don’t quite make it (in my eyes). Of course, there’s plenty … Continue reading MY TOP 10 EUROPEAN CITIES
This week weirdly, has been my most productive during lockdown and I have no idea why. I've been writing a daily to do list throughout this time and generally getting a lot done, but this week I've had most stuff done by lunchtime. It's been nice ticking things off although it's meant I'm often still … Continue reading 7 THINGS I’VE ENJOYED (AT HOME) THIS WEEK | POST 6
