This Christmas was a very different one and a very special one. We have family friends who I have know all m life. Growing up we used to spend every Sunday with them. It was always a special time and saying goodbye always seemed like a tragedy as if we’d never see them again. So […]
As you know the parental unit went off to the US of A last year for a whopping three months. They did plenty of cool things while they were there. The Wam was even in the Big Apple for the US Open and scored some pretty amazeballs seats to watch Feddy Baby (aka Roger) play […]
I’m beginning to think I should have called this blog EAT, because I find that’s all I’ve been writing about. Crumbs I really do do more than eat, but it seems that festive season has meant the plate doesn’t stop being full and the festive season hasn’t quite ended yet – anyone else with a […]
If you’ve ever been to Buitenverwachting either for their epic wine tasting or for their amazing food at the restaurant you will love another excuse to visit. They now have a really cool Coffee Shop open, which is also where you can get picnic stuff from. But I met friends there while they were buying […]

But these are always such happy occasions, what is more special than watching people you love Tie […]
Yesterday I came home from work, with about a gazillion things on my mind. I opened my front door and immediately had that feeling like someone had been in my space without me knowing it (isn’t that weird how we can tell?). But my feeling was confirmed when I saw a pair of gloves lying […]
Cooking for one isn’t all that easy and often ends up with me going to get a take away or something rather bland. So what a friend and I have decided is to make a more regular (and by regular we’re aiming for once a week) dinner date. The deal is we alternate cooking and […]
It’s happening I’m at the age when friends are getting married and others who are already married start to have babies. Gone are the late nights in a smokey club, hello early mornings and watching your language 😉 It’s all rather exciting and I was really exciting to host a baby shower for my lovely […]
