November 15, 2018

CHARNOS LINGERIE | The Everyday Luxury of Zara

September 4, 2018

  So I’m a perfectionist.  If it isn’t ‘just right’ it isn’t good enough, and that applies whether I’m painting my nails, hanging out the washing or securing a symmetrical nappy.  And I’m just as anal about my lingerie – if the fit isn’t spot […]

Freya Lingerie | ‘Soiree Lace’ Fuller Bust Bra Set

November 27, 2017

Great fitting bras have been thin on the ground for me lately.  You’d think as a lingerie blogger I’d be so inundated with fabulous lingerie that my underwear draw would be bursting at the seams – it is, but not with anything I can wear.  I’m […]

Mimi Holliday Tilt A Whirl | Sensually Sweet Lingerie

June 17, 2017

  Lingerie is more than simply underwear to me.  It channels my personality and allows me to reflect however I’m feeling, using colour, texture and style to play on my mood. Pregnancy was a time of my life that changed my relationship with underwear; I no longer wore […]

Royce Maternity: Floral ‘Florence’ Nursing Bra

January 27, 2017

Maternity lingerie can be too beige.  Don’t get me wrong, beige has its place, it’s fantastic when you want a neutral colour that won’t show through your clothes.  But sometimes neutral, basic colours don’t cut it, and maternity underwear can be guilty of being so niche, […]

The Maternity Bra: The Pregnancy Purchase Your Boobs Will Thank You For

January 12, 2017

Pregnancy changes things, your breasts being one (or two) of them.  While everything’s focussed on the little life inside you, there’s just as much going on in the bra department.  In fact, even before your bump has begun surfacing, most likely your boobs are already looking different, […]

I was so excited to find black elder growing in th I was so excited to find black elder growing in the garden when we moved here. It’s a dark shrub that flowers pink blossoms which turn to elderberries in the autumn. It’s not as common as the white flowering elder you see in the countryside everywhere. Now that’s lovely stuff to make elderflower cordial with but let me tell you, pink elderflower is something else! 

I made this myself last week. Picked the flowers Wednesday morning, let them steep in the sugary lemon syrup then filtered and bottled it Saturday morning.  So now I have just shy of four litres of this concentrated fruity-floral gorgeousness to sip through the rest of the summer. 😋 It’s lovely just with water and ice but it’s so good with lemonade too - might also try it with a shot of vodka. 😉 

Has anyone tried this before? Would you have a drink of it?

This is the best time of year. Flowers in bloom. Strawberries. Daylight hours still increasing. Hot sun. Okay I live in my sunglasses because sunshine gives me headaches and heat makes me nap but it’s all good. ☀️ 😎
Saw The Corrs at Scarborough Open Air Theatre last Saw The Corrs at Scarborough Open Air Theatre last night thanks to winning tickets from TK Maxx. They were SO GOOD! 🥁🎤 It was great hearing them play all their instruments and sing so effortlessly.  Runaway and Breathless were *chefs kiss* 👌🏻Dreams makes me think of being 16 again in the 90s, well, before the crap part. 
Awesome night. Teeth chatteringly cold in my little dress but brill experience.  Now I have a dehydration headache cos I was too anxious to drink. 😆

Oh how I WISH this was today 😂😂😂 Actually Oh how I WISH this was today 😂😂😂 Actually went to the beach the other week, just never posted about it. I’m layered up with a knitted jumper and cardi over the top while I wait in hope of this week’s *warmer* forecast. But right now, I AM FREEZING MY TITS OFF! 🤣

I’m not good at getting myself out in my car. La I’m not good at getting myself out in my car. Last week was half term and I went out once. 😂 Went to Mum’s though which is a big trip for me. I find anxiety and hypermobility pains a bit of a mix behind the wheel, and I’m hoping the painful knee I have right now isn’t a result of driving cos that’d suck. But I’m soldiering on. 😅  I’m fine with tootling about to the shops and doing the school run. 🌸
