This is what we came for

Having recently moved 30 miles to North Staffordshire from South Staffordshire I would have never of thought there would be so much to discover. Living in the midlands all my life I assumed I knew all there was to know. Wrong!!! We have been here a year now and I am discovering new things every weekend. Little pubs, things to do, shopping centres, restaurants, local business it is just non-stop. The newest discovery was a little country pub called The Boar Inn in Moddershall. Absolutely stunning little pub in a tiny village overlooking a pond and small lake full of ducks and swans. Really was so relaxing and the regulars seem lovely and we were felt to feel very welcome even though we had never been there before. The pub is very well kept but still maintains it traditional county style and the flowers were beautiful. Only thing I would say is that it is cash only but if you go prepared there's no issues. I will 100% be visiting again! A few pics from our visit Why t

  My Rating - 4/5 People you may know - Eva Green, Billie Piper, Ashton Kutcher Love this series so much. My husband and me have watched all 3 series in under 2 weeks. It has action, romance, supernatural beings e.g. werewolf, familiar characters e.g. Frankenstein, rich and poor people. It never gets boring as it has the main story that most characters are involved in, but then they all have their own stories. I would say there is only about 2 episode fillers/setting the scene episodes where I wasn't absolutely glued to the TV, but for all the other episodes I didn't even check instagram once (record!!!!!). Over all the acting is quite good, no cringe worthy performances. Definitely recommended and I can't wait for the season to kick off again.

I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

  Well guys it is BBQ season, and boy is it my favourite. I am definitely accustom to a corn on the cob or two. There is nothing better than sitting in the garden, taking in the fresh air and chilling in your own space with friends, family, good food and a cold beer.   Part of this perfection is down to having a nice garden. You don't want to be sitting in a junk yard do you? Well, I have to admit..... I HATE gardening and I couldn't think of any worse way to spend my weekends. I love sitting in a nice garden, but I am not one for making it that way. Luckily the hubby loves it!   I thought I would share some pics of my garden as it is one of my favourite spaces when it's sunny, and my favourite view from my sofa looking out through my French doors when its colder.   Love and peace   xoxox    

Honey I'm Home!

Well hello guys...... long time no see....well, that's the world's biggest understatement. I AM BACK!!! After 2 years I am finally back with you all. Been concentrating on real life/boring work stuff over the last couple of years. Moved house, new job, 2 promotions, new hair (not fully blonde anymore) and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Anyway, I am mixing things up a bit and the blog will be more of a lifestyle blog with a little bit of everything. As I have grown older I have found new interests (mostly cooking) and I will be sharing and rambling on about things hat are rattling around my brain box: fashion, cooking, health, happiness, cooking, beauty, thoughts and feelings. We will see how it goes, As always let me know if you want to see anything specific or prefer a type of blog post. I am just going to be using this blog as a notepad for what is swirling around my head. I will be looking to post a couple of times a week (hopefully).
