It’s not often I fall in love with art, but when it grabs my attention I can’t help but tell everybody about it. But, what’s a real first for me is falling head over heels in love with a graffiti artist. Not just any graffiti artist either, this new found love is for the super stylish, amazingly approachable, tattooed goddess; Ruth Knapp. I always enjoy seeing a new Banksy piece and reading the hype around it

The first thing you should know about the Gunton Arms is that they cook huge chunks of meat above a rip-roaring fire and their eclectic art collection is worth the visit in itself. On the road between Norwich, towards Cromer, you’ll find this historic country estate nestled between trees and acres (and acres!) of stunning parkland (one thousand acres in fact!) fit for a queen…. or a herd of local deer. The Gunton A

According to a journalist at the Telegraph, psychologists warn that a visit to Ikea could seriously damage your relationship.  I’m really not too sure how true this is, you’ve got to be pretty seriously argumentative towards each other to argue as much as the hype of Ikea causing breaks in relationships might suggest.  But, if you ARE worried about visiting Ikea with your loved ones and the thought makes you break out into a s

This weekend I had the pleasure of joining some of my favourite local (and some not-so-local!) bloggers and social media addicts on a photo walk around Cambridge.  This was hosted by local creatives Claire of Claireabellemakes and Jo of Hello Sunshine, amongst other collaborators such as Kate from Daphne Rosa. Armed with a beautifully illustrated map of Cambridge created by Jo, we marched off on a chilly, but sunny #CambridgeC

Can we just stop for one moment to realise just how selfish society has become?  I won’t go into some sort of deep rambling here, but I’ve been surrounded by a lot of sadness of late through friends and acquaintances and the sadness they are currently enduring for whatever reason that might be.  I’m in a happy place, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, sometimes I feel a little guilty for that even though I know I shouldn’t.  To

Ask me for my amazing sweet hotspots in Cambridge and I really struggle to recommend anywhere worthy of a write up lately.  However, ask me for my favourite treat destinations in Norwich and I simply don’t have enough fingers to count them all! See my guide to Norwich here for some ideas. But if I read this fabulously tempting menu out to you…. Ahem, queue my beautifully sexy, gruff reading voice… How would t

What comes to mind when you think about Budapest? Is it the copious number of ornate spas on offer? The opulent and iconic statues or buildings? Or is it the trendier ‘ruin bars’ that come to mind? All of these things are on offer in this grand and historic city, but what really caught my attention during my recent stay was the street art on every street and corners. This wasn’t just the odd graffiti-style na

Amsterdam is such a fun destination for a quick city break and the food is most certainly worth planning for, there simply too much choice when it comes to, well, everything.  I spent a few days in Amsterdam with some friends recently and here’s a roundup of our favourite finds whilst treading the streets in the late summer sunshine.  CT Coffee & Coconuts. One of the food places on our hotlist was a very fresh &

I recently enjoyed a week off work, with nowhere to go but home. A “staycation”, with plans to enjoy a sleepover with some younger visitors, as well as a few days in rural Norfolk for some relaxed country air – perfect! “The bearded one” had family visiting, so we took advantage of the sunshine and enjoyed showing them around my home town of Cambridge – I always love showing it off! The term

I recently enjoyed a weekend away with some gorgeous girl friends in Amsterdam. These new travel buddies were the best i could have asked for, we had an awesome time exploring a new city together! We explored so much, I can’t even begin to tell you where we went and what we saw…. So, I’m going to show you some of my favourite photos instead until I’ve created a worthy enough blog post to share with you
