Katherine Hamilton ‘Louise’ Lingerie Collection

May 8, 2017

Wearing functional maternity bras for months on end can be such a bore.  After what certainly felt like going on a year, I couldn’t wait to pack away the nursing bras and get back into regular underwear.   Following the birth I continued to wear my […]

Cosy Hosiery | Falke Soft Merino & Cotton Tights

September 30, 2015

Now that we’re moving toward October, my outfits are taking a decidedly Autumnal feel.  Even throughout our abysmal Summer, leggings had become too much of a lazy staple in my wardrobe, and to be frank, I’m bored with them.  Tights are suddenly interesting again so I’ve been treating myself to some […]

Gossard Radiance: The VIP Swarovski Range

August 31, 2015

When was the last time you bought lingerie just because it looked good?  Buying based on looks is something we do all the time – aesthetics is everything – but sometimes the sexiest bra is blown out of the water by something more beautiful, more […]

Premium fabrics increase the desirability of lingerie tenfold, and silk is widely considered one of the most sumptuous […]

Large Cup Luxe Lingerie | Chantelle Superbe

October 29, 2014

Luxury lingerie easily enters our wish lists but too often prices us out of our budget.  The old adage to buy the best you can afford stands true: superior quality is money well spent.  And, for those of us whose everyday price range doesn’t make […]

Modern Thermals for a Snug & Sexy Winter

October 19, 2014

If you’re anything like me – an icicle in the slightest breeze – cold weather is the malevolent enemy.  Being adverse to arctic temperatures is one thing, but suffering the throes of poor circulation, or Raynaud’s in my case, makes this time of year every bit […]

The day Reuben met Father Christmas. 🧑‍🎄 The day Reuben met Father Christmas. 🧑‍🎄 
Took us all the way up to Belsay Hall in Northumberland to find the big old man and a fabulous vintage treat it was. Parlour games, wooden toys and lots of extravagant festive decoration.

Day out at Beamish on Saturday which was the best day of the weekend. Mostly bright and not too cold. Spent our time round the 1900s pit village where we got hot cheese and onion pasties and sausage rolls from the sinkers bait cabin and went to school. Looked in the toy shop and played in the park at the 50s area, surprised by a passing Father Christmas in a horse drawn carriage. Reuben loved the bank and seeing the old money in the 1800s town (which the bank teller didn’t seem to be amused with for some grumpy reason). Listened a little to the visiting Prudhoe brass band and just enjoyed a little rambling mooch. Didn’t feel *as festive* as previous years but a cute day out all the same. 🎄
Christmas lights switch on in Richmond on Friday n Christmas lights switch on in Richmond on Friday night marked a Christmassy weekend.  Even though the “big tree” was decorated a week ago, we decorated the house a bit more with garlands and paper chains and I’ve done a couple more little trees. Still not yet finished though! 

Hope everyone’s enjoying bringing the festivities into the home. 🎄

After school yesterday we drove up to the MetroCen After school yesterday we drove up to the MetroCentre for one thing - Santa! 🎅 New this Christmas, Lego brought out an upscaled Santa mini fig, like the dude we got from Legoland in the summer.  A Lego shop exclusive, he’s been on back order for ages on the website so we rang the closest Lego shop to see if they had any. Luckily they did and reserved us our Santa. There were none on the shelves by the time we got there so just as well! Fab shop. Nice place to see plenty Lego sets you can’t get elsewhere and there’s even loose Lego to have a little play with while you’re there. I noticed back home though that my Lego Insiders card hadn’t scanned so I didn’t get my points which is poop. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a club to save points to redeem for Lego goodies and that’s a no brainer if you’re a brick head. 😄 

So here’s to the start of Christmas even though it’s still only November. Oh yeah and the Christmas tree’s up! 🎄

Lumiere 2025 was magical ✨💡 Durham is a stunn Lumiere 2025 was magical ✨💡 Durham is a stunning city and to see it lit with glowing art installations is a spectacular sight. It was cold and we walked for hours, but we were wrapped up warm and enjoyed every bit of the trail. My favourites were the silver wire fish and the flowers at the cathedral but the running man beside the river, which reminded me of Keith Haring’s art, was a fun one. 

Question is, was this the last Lumiere in Durham? 🤔
