Rain in the Forest

 Sometimes, Connor has some really dumb ideas. And sometimes, for reasons completely unbeknownst to me, I go along with them. That’s exactly what happened last weekend when the rain was hammering down and the skies were looking pretty darn gloomy, and Con suggested we go walk the dog in the forest. Not the brightest of…

Lush Creative Showcase 2016

 One of the greatest things about being friends with Tash, is her bloodhound abilities to sniff out a good event. Periodically, I’ll get links dropping into my inbox for awesome events, and what ensues is always a good day out! This time, it was a signup link to head East to the Lush Creative Showcase,…

Conkers

Conkers. A quintessential signal of the arrival of Autumn.

Wishing & Lusting

September for me is a strict no-spend month, we say goodbye to our little London home on the 27th, and in preparation for our new place I’m on the save. It’s unlikely we’ll get into our new place before Christmas, but we’ll be going from a fully furnished one bed flat to a much bigger…

Sundays in Shoreditch

Last month, my lovely lady Tami came to visit me in London, and we used it as an opportunity to explore Shoreditch, as she’s never been before! We decided to make it a full on girls day, and in all honesty, it was one of the best days I’ve had in a long time. We met…
