Oh hey there! Lockdown has seen me consume more coffee than ever, a feat I did not know was possible. I have really struggled adjusting to working from home and being stationed in front of a laptop all day instead of being on my feet and walking around a classroom. And this struggle has manifested… Continue reading STRONGEST COFFEE IN THE UK?
Supporting small is always an excellent idea. And now, probably more than ever, I feel it is important to support small businesses. I have wanted to do a Small Business Saturday post for so long and the current situation has given me that push to finally get it done. That, and lockdown has seen me… Continue reading SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY #1
I know I’m not the only person who adds heaps and heaps of restaurants to their list of places they ‘want to try’ and then end up somewhere for food they’ve been approximately 45375 times before.

FINALLY… Another blog post! And I’m talking food… again… *drools* As we all know, Mother’s Day has just past and while I love seeing the flowers and chocolates and cosmetics gift sets in the shop, I tend to take my mum out somewhere to celebrate Mother’s Day.

Let me tell you now, she makes the best brownies ever. They are unbelievably delicious but unfortunately for me, it’s a… Continue reading BLOGMAS DAY 18: FESTIVE BROWNIES
A few weekends ago I went for Afternoon Tea (again…) There were 6 of us there: families, neighbours and friends catching up. We decided to go somewhere local because there were a few of us going and it meant we could all have a drink without the hassle of thinking how to get home. One… Continue reading AFTERNOON TEA: THE NEUK
We all know I love an Afternoon Tea. Over Summer, my mum and I had a couple of nights away and we took this as the perfect opportunity to enjoy Afternoon Tea at a venue a little bit further afield than Aberdeen. The Fairmont St Andrews is a luxurious 5-star golf and spa resort hotel.… Continue reading AFTERNOON TEA: FAIRMONT ST ANDREWS
Going to the Eden Mill Distillery is something I had wanted to do for a good while but life gets in the way and it becomes easy to make excuses so I never got around to it. Luckily for me, a voucher popped up on itison and I decided at 50% off, it would be… Continue reading EDEN MILL GIN TOUR
It was my birthday recently but unfortunately, due to work I wasn’t at home to celebrate.
