As I shot bolt upright in bed, I will admit that I was completely and utterly petrified! We were on night one of our holiday to Lanzarote, staying in a hotel that was pushing the boundaries of what could technically be considered ‘hygienic’; let’s just say that what our room lacked in health & safety...

‘Winter is coming’... A term infamously coined by Kit Harington’s ‘Game of Thrones’ character, the sulky faced heroine, Jon Snow (not to be confused with Channel 4 newsreader Jon Snow - despite the fact that i’m sure you’ll agree he could still rock the medieval leathers/dragon slayer look).

When I was growing up my grandad Frank was my hero. It didn’t matter what he was up to, I wanted to be involved!: . Painting and decorating? Yep, hand me a paint brush! . Watching the Snooker? Sure, I’ll pretend I’ve got a clue what’s going on! . Washing the car? I’ll bring my... Continue Reading →

It may perhaps sound a little romantic, but aren’t the best things in life those that we’ve held out for... Continue Reading →
Preheat the oven Whenever I tell friends that I enjoy ‘cooking with gin’ they instantly ask me what culinary delights I have been whipping up with a gin centre piece. A batch of gin soaked cupcakes? A gastronomic fete featuring a juniper infused sauce? Perhaps a cleverly marinated botanical masterpiece? No, no, no - I... Continue Reading →
We’d arrived home at around 2pm on a cold November afternoon in 2014, and found ourselves sat agasp on the driveway. Something was wrong with the house!... Having just arrived back from our Mexican Honeymoon adventure, after nearly 24hours of travelling, I had lost track of whether the bleary eyes were from the Margaritas or... Continue Reading →
Now it’s fair to say that I don’t really tend to get all that many exciting deliveries through the post box these days...

Those regular little love notes from the AA, offering me vehicle coverage that I didn’t want... Continue Reading →
