May 30, 2018

[PR GIFTED] I’ve never been a great swimmer.  Growing up, I had school swimming lessons that barely gained me my 10 metre badge and I saw the local pool just a few times a year.  As a result I’ve never been an especially confident swimmer […]

In The Deep: Curvy Kate Instinct Bikini

June 25, 2016

All too often I hear the same cry repeating: “you can’t get nice swimwear for bigger busts”.  It makes me want to burst out even louder – you can!  It doesn’t mean every brand caters for us bustier girls but it does mean there’s some […]

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? 🤔

Went up Sutton Bank to see the White Horse of Kilb Went up Sutton Bank to see the White Horse of Kilburn. Don’t know why I never thought of coming up here with Reuben before. It’s not like I spent my whole childhood being overlooked by this landmark. 😄  Think we picked the best day of the half term to go up too. Sunny, autumnal and a little bit brisk. Such amazing views too, you can see for miles around from up on the bank top, stunning Yorkshire scenery no less. 🍂

Beamish. Pumpkins, queuing for chips and chips. 🎃 Walked loads. It was really quite cold but the sun shone. Perfect Autumn aesthetic. Wish we opted for pasties instead.

What else do you do when you feel like sofa rotting?  Go see the Christmas stuff of course. Went to Mainsgill Farm off the A66 and found a wonderland (kinda). Bought a few bits cos it’s the necessary unnecessary.
