The Wonder of Walking

I write a lot about some pretty intense exercise! I like to run, I play Roller Derby, lift weights, do push ups and squats and like to get good and sweaty. But, well, sometimes I need a break. Bits of me ache, or I’m just plain tired, but I still like to stay active, and

Outfit Post: The Little Black Dress

All being well this week I will be heading off on my holiday to Oktoberfest in Munich for a few days, which means as you read this I will probably be packing, picking up Euros and generally doing all the other slightly panicky things one does before one goes on holiday. On Friday I went

Cocktails and Clothes

My brain at the moment is mostly full of booze. With a trip to Oktoberfest approaching, and Norwich Cocktail Week on the way, basically the only other thing I have time to think about is Roller Derby. The inside of my head is a very weird place to be right now. That said, if I

The Changing of the Seasons

Sometimes I have real trouble dressing like a grown up. At the weekend I went to a party and my comic book print dress and ridiculously high heeled shoe boots were fine. This morning I had a meeting with actual grown ups and not only did I have to deal with the fact that it

10 Reasons to Look Forward to Autumn

At the moment it feels like someone pressed the “Autumn” switch. September started and BOOM, grey skies, drizzle, weather so chilly I need to wear a jumper at home instead of opening all the windows and putting a fan on. I guess the only way of guaranteeing that we’ll have another burst of Summer at
