Wedding wonders, what’s in a name?

  (source)  I get married on 17th November, around 8 weeks away. I will be a Mrs. I’m just not sure what will come after the ‘Mrs’. I have lived all my life with a double barrelled surname, I learnt to write it before I started at primary school and have had to spell it out to people so many…

In which I get a hint of pink

Shorts: ancient. Jumper: peacocks. Scarf: Primark. Turtle Belt: Dorothy Perkins I hardly ever wear pink, but actually I think it suits me! What doesn’t suit me is the dark bags under my eyes, I think I need to start wearing concealer! I’m blaming wedding stress and friend stress and general stress. Plus I have some kind of bug that manifests…

Food for Friends

Last Tuesday after a long old day at work I met up with my friend Yasmin and trotted off to Food for Friends, which  is Brighton’s Original Vegetarian restaurant, and has been open since 1981!!! Although it was a Tuesday the restaurant filled up fairly quickly, but we had a great table in the window which was perfect for a…

In which I go to a Scottish Wedding!

In August my friend Yasmin got married, and because she did it on Scotland she was allowed an outside ceremony at her parents house, unlike here in England.         sock bunting, and a ceilidh, whisky & an amazing outdoor ceremony. It was perfect and if my wedding guests look HALF as happy as Yasmins then i’ll consider…

Basically you take along items of clothes (and shoes) that you no longer wear, and are awarded ‘points’ for the items you donated, which can then be…

Lakes & Mountains

             Accidently found ourselves at the foot of hardknott pass, a notorious road over the top of a couple of mountains… “Oh, I think we should turn back, this looks tricky” I said, “Nahhh, it cant be that bad!” said Sam. Alright for him, the non driver comfortably in the passenger seat!   half way up, looking…
