Sunday night feeling
Hello there my friends, how are you? I hope you’ve had a good weekend. I haven’t done much this weekend to be honest! We’ve had a really busy few weeks and T’s job is intense at the moment, so we decided to make absolutely zero plans and just see what we felt like doing on…

Sunday night feeling
Hello there friends, how are you? We’ve been enjoying some amazingly sunny weather in England the past few days and I’ve been taking advantage of it as much as possible by sitting in the garden. We didn’t really sit out much in our previous garden as we were under the Heathrow flight path and had…

T and I have just returned from a week in Boston and New York. And it was amazing. T had to work – but I didn’t ;). As he is part of the museum world, we went to many a museum in both Boston and New York which was wonderful for fuelling the creative juices…

3 You Tube channels for the over 30s
I have a guilty secret to confess. I’m a secret 30+ You Tube watcher. *Gasp!* I freely admit to the fact that I am slightly hooked on watching young women in their twenties telling me what ‘drug store’ foundation to use and whether it’s worth spending out on a Chanel eye make up remover. Seriously…
