I personally have a secret penchant for a little leopard print but in the past it has … Continue reading Wild Thing
I'm back!!! No I didn't fall into a black hole, run away and join a cult or go into hiding in a witness protection scheme! I just decided to take a bit of time out over the school holidays as juggling 3 children, studying and blogging was stretching me a bit thin and as I … Continue reading Size is Just a Number

It was barely more than a week ago that we were all in big winter coats wondering when on … Continue reading Spring Coats
In my younger days, my corporate working days, a nice shirt was a wardrobe staple for me. I loved a fitted white shirt with double cuff sleeves teamed with a nice pair of cufflinks and skirt suit (it was my strong, independent, power outfit).

This week it just felt wrong to write about anything other than the most amazing dining experience I've ever had. I'm talking about The Fat Duck, Heston Blumenthal's restaurant in Bray, Berkshire. It's something that has been on mine and my husband's bucket list for a while and finally in November my husband managed to … Continue reading The Fat Duck
