Crikey, time truly does fly when you're having fun doesn't it? It's been an incredibly hectic few months for me and I'll be sure to fill you fully over the coming weeks. Work has been keeping me very busy, I'm really enjoying it and being able to work within food marketing is a …

Where to start, Glastonbury 2022 was an experience that I will never forget. I remember at several moments across the five-day event I'd be sat there just thinking what the eff, I'm at Glastonbury.
To be honest, this will not be one of those best tips for Glastonbury posts - this will be pur…

August has been busy; my body and my bank account are definitely feeling it! This month I feel I've really settled into London living, I feel settled in my new place and I've got a routine that works for me. I recently signed up for a swimming membership at the local pool which I've bee…

So...I moved! In May I moved to London, I've been talking about moving to London for many many years and it finally happened! Life since then has been ridiculously busy, hence the radio silence on the blog & podcast. Let's recap on the busiest and an incredibly fun three months. Moving …

We did it guys, we got through the hell hole of 2020. Who would have thought that would be possible! Normally I don’t set resolutions but this year I am determined to make it count so I've decided to set goals rather than resolutions. I want them to be stress free, chill and if it doesn't ha…

Such A Fun Age is Kiley Reid's (pictured) debut novel and my goodness is it brilliant first publication.

Three years ago, I moved into my first year accommodation at Oxford Brookes where I was to study for my undergraduate degree. I had the most incredible time and Oxford will forever have a special place in my heart. I won't say it was easy by any means but my goodness was it the most incredible …

If you know me you know I love phö so when I visited Pan Pan in St  Clements I was very excited.  Pan  Pan specialises in Southeast Asian street food and my goodness it is incredible. The menu ranges from small sharing dishes to larger dishes, like the prawn phö in the photo above. Available for si…

If you've lived in Oxford the likelihood is that you know Marios and have fond memories of it. 
The authentic Italian food and amazing service make this place a must visit. 
Eat in their charming restaurant or takeaway, which is what we did! It was a sunny evening so we took ours along with some …

I think Big Society was one of the first bars/pubs I went to  when I moved to Oxford. It's along the famous Cowley Road and in such a vibrant and happening area. 
They are famous for their fried chicken and rightly so, the food is incredible and it's also affordable making it the double wham…

The story behind The Up In Arms is part of which makes it such a special place in my opinion. 
The community in Marston contacted Dodo pubs saying that their local pub had been shut down and that they were trying to save the building from being turned into flats. 
Dodo Pub Company loved the  site …

Hell, two months have passed since my last lockdown diary. Little changed in that time, hence the lack of an update, however I’m now back in Oxford for a couple weeks. It’s been so lovely being back here and it has reminded me just how much I have missed it. It’s been great catching up with my pee…
