Christmas may be over but the food isn’t! I don’t know about you but in our house the lead up to Christmas starts as soon as December 1st rolls around. The tree goes up, the plans are made and the shopping begins. And I’m not talking presents… Food is a massive part of our family...Read More
Since growing up Christmas has taken on a new, more important meaning to me and to so many of my friends and family. We may not wake up at 6am, rushing downstairs excitedly to see if Santa has been, since we now cherish those lie-ins. There are no Scalextrics, bikes and Baby Born to open,...Read More
My very first solo holiday adventure was a month long stay at an elephant refuge centre in Thailand. Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand saves all types of animals, from gibbons to bears, but I only worked with the resident elephants. They were a bunch of lovely, retired old ladies and one young male who’d been rescued...Read More
Every year I give myself a limit on how much I will spend at Christmas. Every year I go over it. I do really enjoy buying Christmas presents for people. I love surprising my loved ones and exceeding their expectations. That’s not always showering them with lavish gifts. This year I think one of the...Read More

Every year I fall into the same trap. As I’m browsing through gift ideas, I see one so perfect for one particular family member that I can’t not buy it for them. Unfortunately, I already have a present for that family member, so now they’re getting two presents. Then I have to get two presents...Read More
My friend had her first baby six years ago and, as a way of saying thank you for a gift that I gave her, she handmade me a personalised Thank You card. I loved it. I still have it to this day and it means as much to me now as it did then. A...Read More
We’re at the beginning of December and that means only one thing is approaching… Christmas! But what makes us oh-so excited for Christmas? What’s making those dark, dreary mornings and pitch-black journeys home just a little more bearable? 1. The London Lights You know the Christmas lights that have been dangling from the London city...Read More
I don’t know about you, but it’s really tempting to wrap myself up in layers of woolly jumpers when it comes to Christmas – no cares given if I look like a burrito. Keeping up a fashionable appearance isn’t easy when the temperature is hitting rock bottom, but let’s not allow the dreary weather to...Read More
I usually don’t get excited/prepared/remotely organised for Christmas until around the 24th of December. That’s just how it’s always been for me, it’s not practical and it’s definitely not good for the stress levels, but I refuse to start thinking about it months in advance…until now. My team at work is starting to organise the...Read More
