Getting Steamy

I will start with a confession. I rarely iron ANYTHING. When I was little our clothes went straight from the dryer to the ironing basket, where my Mum would then spend an afternoon ironing all our clothes so we could pull them from drawers fresh and ready to wear. I, however, am incredibly lazy and

*That* Skirt and Silly Heels

You can’t say I didn’t warn you about this. It’s Norwich Cocktail Week and so I will mostly be wearing clothes with cocktails on, and drinking lots of cocktails and talking about cocktails, and pretty much turning into one big cocktail.

Dressed Down Cocktails

You don’t even want to know how many cocktails I’ve drunk since Saturday. No really, you don’t. Oh ok, it’s somewhere in the region of 25 Cocktails, it feels like more than it looks.

Munich Day Two – On which we completely miss the largest park in Europe and fall asleep on the floor

Ah you came back for more tales of my Munich adventures. Day two dawned looking all bright Autumn Sunshine, so we started the day with a run by the river. An activity which was suspiciously healthy considering our plans for the rest of the day, because today was the day we planned to visit the

Munich Day 1 – In Which Multiple Beers are Drunk, Some Sausages are Eaten and Retro Chick Runs Away from People Because she can't speak German

Did you miss me? I bet you never even noticed I was gone. Last week I headed off on holiday, for a trip that we’d been meaning to make for years, to Munich, for Oktoberfest. This is the only holiday that I’ve had this year that hasn’t at least partly contained an obligation for me
