Month: August 2015

Wowsers, it's been a busy old August. I'm not entirely sure where it's gone! Looking back, I couldn't quite believe how much foodie stuff I've done so I thought I'd give you a little round-up just in case you missed bits. The month started with a...

While it may seem like I’m Rugby through and through, I’m not actually from this little Warwickshire town. I first moved to Rugby in 2008/9 (I think) and have lived here ever since. Why the life story? Well, because for the first five-ish years...

Being a non-Brum dweller, I’m usually last to the party when it comes to the must-see, must-visit, must-eat, must-drink places in the city. I'm getting gradually better, but one of the places I shamefully have to admit I’ve spent far too little...

Another week gone, a few more promises broken. Okay, so maybe not that bad, but I’m not sure I entirely stuck to last week's Meal Planning Monday plan. The best laid plans and all that, hey. On Monday I was super good, I had my asparagus tips and...

When I was asked if I wanted to review a local Beefeater that had recently refurbished, I have to admit I thought twice. I’ve only been to a few Beefeaters in the past and if I’m honest, they weren’t that good. Despite my reservations, I...

Another weekend, another trip to London to catch up with a friend. Good job it isn’t too difficult or too expensive (if you book in plenty of time) from Rugby, else I’d be broke by now. We agreed to meet in what is rapidly becoming my go-to...

We all know that while being a foodie fan, I'm a bit health conscious. After all, it was only last week that I wrote you a whole post on my relationship with food. So when I got the opportunity to do a blog swap, who better than Amy-May Hunt...

Week 2 - how did it go? Hmmm, well, I can't say it was 100% success, but I wasn't a complete failure either. Breakfasts went well, as did lunches, and I went pretty good with exercise - four gym sessions and three runs in total....

We all know I love a good curry and there are several posts on the blog about my curry adventures in Wolseley Bridge as well as Rugby, but it’s not often I venture into Birmingham for one. I know, sacrilege! In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever...

At the weekend I had a jaunt down to London to see one of my bestest friends. We don’t catch up all that often and when we do, it involves lots of walking, talking, and generally putting the world to rights. She lives in Camden, so a sunny...
