My partner and I had our 6th anniversary on Saturday. (Happy anniversary to us!!) We'd both been pretty busy throughout the week so hadn't had a chance to make each other cards. But as it's tradition, we made cards in the morning. They were both inside jokes so it probably wouldn't make sense if I... Continue Reading →
Replacing a rubbish plant with a slightly less rubbish plant
One of my plants hadn't been doing well for weeks. Each morning we'd find more leaves that had fallen off. Then during the day some more would fall off from the cats walking past it and knocking them off. And now all of its leaves have shrivelled up and dropped off. My succulent planter is...

Trying Linda McCartney Pulled Pork Bao Buns
Happy pancake day! To celebrate we had waffles, and, for my blog post today, I'm going to talk about the Linda McCartney Pulled Pork Bao Bun Meal Kit we tried a little while ago. A meal kit is not something we'd usually buy. We'd tend to get all the ingredients separately because that way you... Continue Reading →
Reflecting on 2020 ✨
As shocking of a year it's been, it's important to appreciate the good times. I thought I'd share a few good and bad moments and some stuff I'm looking forward to. I'd love to hear what you've been up to this year too! xo The Good We did manage a mini holiday in Glasgow at... Continue Reading →
Decorating the Christmas cake ❄️
It's not long now before we can grab a slice and actually find out how it tastes! I just used Morrisons pre-made marzipan and icing as it's vegan, and I wouldn't know the first thing about making them myself! I went with traditional raspberry jam to glue down the marzipan to the cake. I did... Continue Reading →
We adopted 2 cats!!! 💜
The house has felt a bit lonely without any kitties. After moving out, I had wanted to bring Ginger Kitty over, and I'm sure he misses me very much, but since our house is next to a road, we wanted to have indoor cats. We'd been looking to adopt a cat for about a month... Continue Reading →
Conker collecting 🍂
A couple of weeks ago we went conker collecting, just in time as it was coming to the end of conker season. We'd been seeing a few spiders in the house, so, naturally, the purpose of this was to ward off the spiders! The autumnal colours were starting to set in. Leaves are so much... Continue Reading →
Pumpkin carving! 🎃
It's been years since we last carved pumpkins, but maybe it will become a tradition now we're in our own place. We've carved them a bit too early for them to last until Halloween, but as my partner rightly says, they'll look a lot spookier if we keep them on display when they're decaying! I've...

Meet my front garden 🌼
We'd just cleared leaves from the front after the windy weather we've been having led to quite a collection to pile there, and I wanted to take some photos to share the plants we've started growing. We planted these planters a little bit after moving in and they've certainly flourished. The back planters have 3... Continue Reading →
Exploring our new hometown
We went on a little walk near our new house. When we previously went on a walk in this area, we noticed a more obscure path near the river, which we wanted to find out where it led. We took some steps down to the river, which have seen better days, but I guess it... Continue Reading →
