I really like crisps, so when I was asked if I'd like to review some the answer was obvious. There were two reasons I agreed. No.1 I really like crisps and no.2 they're grown and produced in East Anglia (which is home to me). The crisps in question are Corkers Crisps. Great name and I love the patriotic branding with British icons -...
After my last birthday I wrote a list of all the things I wanted to achieve by my next birthday, among them was the need to create calm and improve my surroundings. I knew that when I said 'create calm' I meant continuing the de-cluttering I'd started. I saw this as an on-going project, I thought I'd tackle one room at a time,...
I set a timer on my phone when I take part in A Photo An Hour, otherwise I'd miss so many shots throughout the day. It makes me feel a little bit like Huge Grant's character in About A Boy - dividing my day into units of time. Normally the time just ticks by and I'm oblivious. 6.20am Andy had just left for...
Today this here little ole blog is five years old, and what better way to celebrate a blogiversary than with the blog cliche that is the foil balloon? Everyone loves a balloon. I'm enjoying blogging more than ever at the moment. Which could have something to do with posting daily and investing a lot of time into it. I love writing, I enjoy...
The photobook of our honeymoon arrived yesterday and I'm really pleased with it! I wanted to get our photos printed so that we had physical copies and a photobook seemed the perfect solution. You can't snuggle up on the sofa and leaf through the pages of a computer can you? I used Photobox to put it together and the whole process was really...
The immediate and fleeting nature of Twitter means I often favourite a tweet with the intention of going back to it and then I simply forget all about it. There is a wealth of interesting information, which unless acted upon, can get lost in the among the banal, silly, and sometimes pointless twittering. Don't get me wrong the banal and pointless tweets are...
Yesterday I posted my Summer '15 list, so it stands to reason that today I'd follow with my Autumn '15 list. I started these seasonal lists in the autumn last year, so I'm going to add some of the things I didn't do last year, with the intention of not failing so miserably again. 1. Forage for sloes and make some gin I...
1. Go to the beach and eat ice cream (more than once) OK, so I managed just two trips but they were lovely (and so was the ice cream). The first time I went it was a gorgeous morning, I went a little pink in the sunshine but by the time I'd returned home the heavens had opened. My second visit was on...
So there I was sitting on the sofa, watching The Big Bang Theory, I'd finished a large glass of wine and the adverts came on. The bald chap that used to play rugby and now captains on A Question of Sport popped onto my screen and told me about this fantastic new powder - Bioglan Super Foods Supergreens. What he actually said is...
