Regular readers of this blog will know I live a life of coffee before tea. But tea most certainly has its place (uh, hello gloriously polyphenol loaded green infusion). Earl Grey alongside a scone I can totally get behind but five courses with tea pairings? The lovely people at Washington Tea invited us along to […]

Friday was my last regular shift at the gorgeous Snails Deli. I’ve had a truly brilliant few months working in a job that came at a time when I needed it most. Everyone should work in an independent coffee shop at least once in their lives. Here’s why: You’re at the heart of a […]

I got all shaky and giddy. There it was, my final result of the year on the screen before me. A passport to 10 weeks of freedom. Day after day of brilliance lay before me. You’ve been good to me you have Summer 2014, and for that, I am seriously grateful. I was scared you’d […]

Oh how quickly we forget eh? I’ve been high on life since about 9.09 last Wednesday morning when I completed (and passed) the final assessment of Year 1 at BCNH. In between sipping glasses of bubbly I’ve been fizzing over with downright euphoria. This is, of course, without question the best thing I have ever done. […]

I love a meme. I love when someone gives me a little incentive to get back into my blogging groove and share a post. For this one we have Lindy to thank. I did another you might like not too long ago. Currently I am…. Reading: The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. It’s all […]

I met Amanda when I joined Dragon CrossFit. We bonded over heavy squats on Mondays and a commitment to the Clean Living Challenge at the start of the year. What I love most about Amanda is the way she often challenges all that I’m learning and, as a doctor at University Hospital of Wales […]

It was the four portions of fish in a week It was the rebellious couple of glasses of wine on a school night It was the pizza night where I opted for the salad It was the cheese plate when he was at the football It was the many greens that made their way through […]
