Back in October last year, Aled proposed! We’re going for quite a long engagement because we’re both finishing our PhDs right now, so we don’t have a huuuuge amount of free time. And as someone who loves planning and researching and organising things, I want to relish in all of it (hehe). So, 9 months […]

So, I’ve become a little bit obsessed with house plants recently. I blame the dreamy interior posts on Kate La Vie’s blog. I just feel like a little bit of greenery really makes a room come to life.

I LOVE food. One of the main reasons that I exercise regularly is that I could never diet. Life’s too short. Now, when it come to eating OUT, I can be a bit of a fuss-pot. I hate paying for food that I could make better myself. Because of this, I’m constantly on the look […]

Happy Halloween! When I was little, we didn’t really make a huge deal out of Halloween (other than watching Hocus Pocus – one of my favourite films of all time), but thanks to my American brother-in-law it’s now an annual event for our family. We get together, carve pumpkins, and my sister makes us a […]

It’s officially Autumn here in England! I love this time of year. There’s a chill in the air meaning we can break out the chunky knits (yay!), but the blanket of orange leaves evokes such warm, cozy feelings. It also means that Christmas is just around the corner, which can only be a good thing. Today was […]

WHERE: Burwash Manor (Cambridgeshire, U.K.) WHEN: February 2016 HOW LONG FOR: An afternoon I love food. And I love cute little farm shops. So when I heard about the Love Food event at Burwash Manor this weekend, I was down there in a flash! Burwash Manor is an organic farm that has converted its buildings […]
