I'd forgotten about this until I went to make my cereal. Now I can go to work with a smile! Muppet sticker sets from Cravendale. For making breakfast more fun....

Theatre Review: Oliver! at the Palace Theatre in Manchester
One thing to know about me is that I go to the theatre a lot, and I see an awful lot of professional and amateur productions every year. I enjoy most productions and can usually find good points in all of them; however, I don’t often take the time to blog about them. It takes … Continue reading Theatre Review: Oliver! at the Palace Theatre in Manchester
Quirky, creative headwear from Rock n Rose
I can’t deny that I’m a little bit in love with the vintage-inspired jewellery and accessories at Rock ‘n Rose. With their pretty, quirky headwear and jewellery they are one of the most interesting jewellery brands around for me, and Pixie Lott has also named them as one of her favourites. I have just stumbled … Continue reading Quirky, creative headwear from Rock n Rose
Shift dresses: wear now and keep for spring!
For me January is fashion limbo. Now that Christmas and New Year are over I’ve had more than enough of sequins, jewel tones and black, but I’m also not quite ready for the pastels, brights and prints that I’m looking forward to for Spring/Summer. Somehow this makes me feel as though I have nothing to wear … Continue reading Shift dresses: wear now and keep for spring!
Destination Nice
So Christmas is over, and of course that means that I am seeing adverts for holidays all over the place! I haven’t even started thinking about where to go this year, but enjoyed reminiscing about a lovely holiday I enjoyed to Côte d'Azur the other year. We stayed in a lovely self-catering apartment in the … Continue reading Destination Nice
Pretty Weymouth
I've just returned from a mini holiday in Weymouth on the South coast and feel the need to sing its praises and share some photos. Weymouth is a really cute, typically English seaside town. I'm sure in peak season it becomes very touristy, but for us it was really quiet and lovely, and the weather … Continue reading Pretty Weymouth
Markets, trinkets and Northern traditions
Today I visited the town of Ramsbottom to visit both the farmers market and also to see the Black Pudding Throwing Championship. Thanks to my parents for clueing me up on this one! This traditional event, which involves aiming black puddings at Yorkshire puddings balanced on high platforms to knock them off, is meant to … Continue reading Markets, trinkets and Northern traditions
Childhood memories
Trips to Blackpool generally make me sad, even when I'm with my girlfriends and having a nice time (as was the case the other week). The reason is just that it is such a different place than the one I remember from my childhood. But I did manage to get a couple of pictures from … Continue reading Childhood memories
A whimsical evening at Jacques Townhouse
On Monday I travelled to Liverpool to take part in the “Jacques Townhouse” event – a promotional event for the summer which had run in London before moving up to Liverpool for two weeks. The setting was a large townhouse festively decorated with flowers, bric a brac, parasols, fruit garlands, ornamental bird cages,vintage travel trunks, bunting … Continue reading A whimsical evening at Jacques Townhouse
Exploring Manchester’s beautiful countryside and heritage
Recently I have been exploring some of the different things Manchester has to offer. The city centre is amazing, but there are some amazing countryside locations and historical sites close by, which I just never think of visiting. So having checked out a couple I have decided to share the experience. Living very close to … Continue reading Exploring Manchester’s beautiful countryside and heritage
