Mama Nicholls fancied a getaway for her birthday this year, so we booked a cheap and cheerful 5 night stay in one of the Canary Islands in early May. Our flight going out was booked at a horrendous hour, but the bonus of being awake at such a time, is that you get to see the sunrise… Somehow it feels even more spectacular to witness as … Continue reading Fuerteventura
Hello blog, my old friend. I owe you an apology. I’m sorry for neglecting you these past two months. It’s no fault of your own. It’s all me. You see, when something starts going well I get scared. Scared that I’m going to lose it. So I push it away before that happens. I have done this with hobbies. I have even done this with … Continue reading Eight
Oh my weight. If had £1 for every minute I thought about my weight I’d be a very rich lady indeed. It is something that I’ve struggled with as long as I can remember, but it’s occurring to me how much my weight is connected with my mental health, and I’ve started to write my experience with weight gain and loss, as it all starts … Continue reading Heavy

The next day we had a gorgeous relaxed morning, with our favourite Saturday Kitchen on in the background, whilst I made brunch. Eventually we decided to … Continue reading Friends and Food

She mentioned they spent a few hours in Bratislava as it was a fairly short train journey from Vienna, and was another new city to see. We had some time between landing and checking into our hotel, so upon arriving at the airport in Vienna we … Continue reading Bratislava
My husband is very sensible with money. This is one of the things I love about him the most. I am very fond of a holiday. This is one of the things my husband loves about me the least (or when I go on about them anyway!). So, on one random weekday evening (I think it was a Monday), when Matt offers to take me … Continue reading Vienna
Well isn’t this a bit scary? Putting myself out there for everyone to read. If anyone does decide to read it of course. That’s not what I’m looking for from this though. I’ve discovered in the past few months, triggered by many enlightening conversations with some of my dearest friends, that I love to write. I find it extremely therapeutic and thought I’d apply this … Continue reading Hello World
