This seasonal pumpkin salad with fig & goats’ cheese is so full of the joys of autumn I simply love it! I have this thing with pumpkins, they just bring me so much joy to look at and eat that I can barely walk past them without buying one. Seen as my local greengrocer has […]

My Loves: ‘Reversal Of The Muse’ Podcast
I am a podcast junkie – I listen to them on a daily basis and love their company when walking or travelling, whilst working, when I’m doing house chores or in the wee hours during bouts of insomnia. As I listen to them so much I’m always on the hunt for new shows to download and […]
Farewell Number 36
We moved house back in the middle of July so in some ways our previous place seems like a bit of a distant memory already, however I wanted to jot a few things down about our dear old flat for memory’s sake. Six years is a long time to live somewhere. Here are a few of the […]
Playlist: Last Days of Summer
I’ve made a playlist of new music for these last days of summer. Hazey tracks that suit the mood of this changeable weather and won’t quite let go of the summer vibes. Listen to this playlist it whilst enjoying the September sun or during your last barbeque of the year. Listen to it while getting cosy […]
Buying A Vintage Wedding Dress On Etsy: My Tips
It became clear quite earlier on that buying a vintage wedding dress on Etsy was going to be the way forward for me. I always had a very clear picture in my head of what style dress I wanted for my wedding but I knew early on, after peaking in a few boutiques that I […]

My Favourite Albums of 2016 So Far
We’re now over halfway through and it’s shaping up to be a pretty good year for new music in my opinion, so I thought I’d share my favourite albums of 2016 so far from releases from the first half of the year. Anohni – Hopelessness ‘Hopelessness’ is the first album under […]
Photo Diary: Chasing Waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons
Sometimes one of my favourite things about Bristol is how quickly you can escape from it! On the late May bank holiday weekend we packed a picnic in our hire car and headed off for an adventure to go chasing waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons. Before I’d lived in Bristol I’d only ever been to Cardiff, but over […]
Yonder Collective Dinner – Encounters
On a rather wet evening in May 2016 I joined a group of Bristol based creative-types who gathered for the third Yonder Collective dinner. The theme for the event was ‘Encounters – encountering ordinary things in unexpected ways’. For me, the first encounter of the evening was discovering the hidden gem Salt Cafe Deli, whose […]
