At the end of last week I decided to treat my parents to a takeaway meal, which is something we don’t do very often, so we were really looking forward to it! I think it’s always nice to have a ‘special’ dinner with family where you can all sit around at the table together, share food, and chat away all evening. I used the JUST EAT Android app to place my takeaway order, which was surprisingly simple and quick to use.…

On the last day of our short break to the cottage near Stratford upon Avon, we took a short drive to The Cotswolds. We drove through some gorgeous little villages, but the final destination was Bourton on the Water, which is a little village in Gloucestershire.

Homemade soup is the perfect solution for a warm and fresh meal, and the options for recipes are endless! I’ve recently been experimenting with my new soup maker that I received to review…

After celebrating Liam’s pass out parade in Catterick up in Yorkshire, we decided to make a nice weekend of it. We were invited to stay at the Ox Pasture Hall Hotel for the night in one of their suites, which was perfect for a nice relaxing one night stay for the two of us. It’s located just outside of Scarborough, which was a little bit of a drive from Catterick but worth the journey! Hotel It’s a luxury country house hotel,…
