Regular readers of this blog will know I love to cook. The deal my husband and I have, with him on the washing up and the ironing and me at the stove and the supermarket, suits me just fine. His share of the bargain comes with the luxury of being able to generally do said […]

Goodness gracious me it’s been some time since I checked in here. As a blogger, there’s nothing quite as annoying as life taking over and weeks whizzing by without a moment to post. For too long, this has been my view: Affixed to that spot, it’s been one great big freelance work and course assignment […]

If there’s one thing that’s grinding my gears right now it’s sugar and how it’s currently being handled in the media. This week, print, broadcast and online outlets will have confirmed for each and every one of us that sugar is evil. Deadly. It’s killing us – slowly, quicker in some instances. We’re addicted. It’s […]

If you mention Dragon in CrossFitting circles in South Wales (or at least the ones I’ve moved in) you’ll be met with: “Yeh, they’re really hard core.” “All a bit full on.” “They take it sooooooo seriously.” Talk to a Dragon CrossFit (DC) member and it’s an entirely different story.

At school I played guitar and recorder. We’re talking ‘Going To The Zoo’ and ‘Hot Cross Buns’ respectively, but still. My iTunes library is non-existent and I’d strongly advise you against ever inviting me to a pop quiz team. But I love music. I love how it makes me feel and perform. I love how […]

Time’s definitely a funny old thing. Time definitely isn’t a perfect healer. One year on from the date you lost someone you truly admired and adored definitely doesn’t suck any less than it did 365 days before. It often all catches up with you at inopportune, unexpected and down right inconvenient moments – in supermarket […]

This weekend I got invited to duck off. No, no, it wasn’t like that… Sally, Lindy and I were to take to our stoves and create something suitably delicious. Then we’d be judged. By you, the discerning people of the interwebz. The rules. Very few of them as it happens, aside from: – The dish must […]

“I’m starting Monday”. Three fatal words uttered by so many vowing to commit to a New Year regime. But here’s the thing, how ever your first month of 2014 pans out, don’t, whatever you do, go on a diet in January – or any other month for that matter. Stop now, before you start it. […]

The clock struck 9pm. “Happy New Year” we bellowed. There was no way Fi was making it to midnight. There was no way she was missing the last toast of her life. We adapted to accommodate her wishes. We shared a thimbleful of champagne. January notoriously sucks, doesn’t it? Losing a parent in January […]

How many times a week do we find ourselves saying “I’m hungry”? How many times a day even? But here’s the thing, do we know what it’s really like to be hungry? I’m almost certain I don’t. This particularly hit home today when I visited Cardiff food bank. Early doors, I went wild in […]
