How to Spot a Blogger – A Field Guide

You might think bloggers are just ordinary people. And technically you’d be right. But once you’ve been blogging a while you might notice yourself behaving in certain ways that PB* (*Pre-Blog) might have seemed odd, or even utterly insane. When you’re out and about and you know what to look for you can spot a

St Helens Farm Goats Milk

This is the second of my recent experiments with replacements for cow’s milk. This time the replacement isn’t plant-based, but instead I’ve been trying out goat’s milk products from St Helens Farm. St Helens asked me if I would try replacing my regular dairy with produce made from Goats milk and report on how it

Dress Down Sunday

OMG I’m wearing trousers. I have genuinely never understood the obsession people have with jeans and trousers somehow being a “comfortable” option. I get that sometimes they are PRACTICAL. You know, if you need to be rolling around on the floor or climbing over fences for some reason, but I’ve never thought they were any

This Week I…..

Moooorning! How are you today? Out of my window it looks like the force nine gales may be subsiding and the spring-like weather returning. I hope so at least because today’s plans include a 10 mile run (for Mr Chick, mine will be much shorter) and a jolly trip out to a pub to watch

My Favourite You Tube Yoga Channels

Yoga is something I took up out of necessity. I like running, and I like Roller Derby and I like going to the gym, but my body doesn’t always like that I like running and Roller Derby and going to the gym. I’m in my late 30s and I have long-standing problems with my lower

Outfit : Cats & Cocktails

Do you think there’s a point where I’ll own enough clothing with Cocktails on? At the moment I’m thinking not. Especially when my latest piece of clothing with cocktails on also features cats and poodles. Novelty print skirts are not just for fancy wear, which I proved by wearing this one to walk into town

This Week I…

If I was going to give this post a sub-title I would call it “mostly dead” as that is how I seem to have spent most of this week, for a variety of reasons. This morning I am mostly dead, though that is entirely self-inflicted and I have only myself to blame. I was planning
