This is an extremely uncertain time. Nobody really knows what's going to happen in the next five weeks, months, years with everything going on. What we do know is that, in these times especially, there's nothing better than settling down with a book. I've never read any of the books by Rebecca Serle but, when… Continue reading Book Review: In Five Years by Rebecca Serle

TV Show Review: After Life Season 2
It seems a bit of a bleak choice of TV to binge watch smack bang in the middle of a pandemic but, considering how much we enjoyed the first season of the show that Ricky Gervais wrote, directed and starred in, my family and I knew we had to watch After Life Season 2 and I'm glad… Continue reading TV Show Review: After Life Season 2
Killing Eve (Series 3, Episode 3) Review
Killing Eve returned to our screen three weeks ago (here are my thoughts on : Episode 1 and Episode 2) and things are getting interesting. Very interesting. We were treated to gorgeous shots of Spain, some funny moments and an intriguing (if premature, in my opinion) reunion in the episode. Villanelle is as crazy, and… Continue reading Killing Eve (Series 3, Episode 3) Review
Banana and chocolate chip muffins
Hello 👋🏻! I thought I’d break up the usual book reviews and various other things I’ve been posting about with a recipe. Aside from odd cakes for people’s birthdays, or dessert of a weekend, I haven’t baked much this year. Luckily, with all the spare time I’ve now found, I had the opportunity to bake… Continue reading Banana and chocolate chip muffins
The Gratitude Diaries #5
Four weeks ago, I started this series of posts (you can find them all here, if you fancy a read!) to document what I am grateful for each week. It’s easy, given the circumstances, to focus on the bad things and think there’s not much good. No pub, no seeing family you’re not isolated with,… Continue reading The Gratitude Diaries #5
Book Review: Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams
Sometimes, in times like these, all you need is a bit of sun and a good book (or two!). Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams was one of the books I bought on a whim - considering it was amongst the cheap books currently available on Kindle - with very little to go off apart from a… Continue reading Book Review: Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams
Book Review: It’s Not You It’s Him by Sophie Ranald
At this time, when my mind is awash with statistics and news I can't really comprehend, I'm loving escaping the messy world we're living in in favour of a funny, romantic book (other just any book, for that matter). I've not read any books by Sophie Ranald but - when I came across this book on my Kindle -… Continue reading Book Review: It’s Not You It’s Him by Sophie Ranald
Killing Eve (Series 3, Episode 2) Review
Killing Eve  returned to our screens last week, with an episode that wasn't exactly 'the best thing you'll ever see on television' but it was an interesting and exciting start to the latest series of the killer comedy-drama. Again, this week, we were greeted by beautifully shot scenes, little sprinklings of humour and just a… Continue reading Killing Eve (Series 3, Episode 2) Review
The Gratitude Diaries #4
I started this series of posts three weeks ago (you can read the first two here and the more recent one here). With the news that Britain faces a further three weeks on lockdown at least, I think - now more than ever - we need to stay as positive as possible. Missing out on… Continue reading The Gratitude Diaries #4
Book Review: Normal People by Sally Rooney
I looked the other day and I’m absolutely flying through the list of books I said I hoped to read this year (though my Classics Challenge reading has taken a hit). I think I’m enjoying reading a lot more than I have in ages, plus it’s the perfect distraction from the news! One of the… Continue reading Book Review: Normal People by Sally Rooney
