Hi all! It’s been a while! With everything that’s been going on in the world lately, we thought it was good opportunity to show you a little of our previous (non-essential) isolation from a slightly more carefree time a few weeks ago. As wannabe minimalists - which can be tricky with all that vintage china! & wannabe owners of their own Hobbit House out in the woods one day - which might prove difficult as Dan is 6’4”! - we thought we’d test out our would-be lifestyle courtesy of somebody who has taken the step! We have a HUGE LOTR fan in our party, which helped to make the decision as to whether we opted for the Hobbit House or...
So - The greatest show ever turned 25 this week! So we thought it was the perfect timing for us to show you our shenanigans from last month’s Friendsfest adventures! It’s something we’ve wanted to do since Friendsfest began, but timing/ticket sellouts/general being a grownup meaning we’re never able to get our friends together in one place (something that Friends led us to believe was always going to be super easy!) always got in the way in previous years. However, the fact that our favourite show ever turns 25 this year (& at least I was only 4 when it began, which means I’m not THAT old - however this is the year when we all turn 30, except youthful...
It was the premiere of Season 5 of Birmingham’s own Peaky Blinders yesterday! & to celebrate, we had ourselves a little (it was huge) Peaky Blinders Gentlemen’s Afternoon Tea at The Lobby on Hill Street, in our home town of Birmingham.
The winds are picking up & any moment now I feel as though we’re going to go spiralling into another dimension! Better get the bubble wrap & start wrapping up the teapots. Speaking of, the latest Oz film is on & they’re at the part with the teapot village. Dream town Dan says. He’s not very wrong. Quite fitting then, that it’s only 2 days away from our 2 year anniversary of one of the biggest events we’ve pulled off to date! Our Wizard of Oz open day in honour of supporting Autism Awareness. 2 years ago, on a rainy & slightly blustery day in the middle of Sutton Coldfield, we packed our bag (boot-fulls!) of tricks, including a specially...
They do it right down South. Fudge, pasties, cream teas, cider - all the good stuff! & while we were there I ate everything you could possibly put the word ‘Cornish’ in front of. Proud Midlanders, (I do think our tea is better) I must say it was nice to get some sea air into our lungs. I don't know what our obsession is with the seaside - perhaps it’s because residing in Birmingham means we’re like, the furthest point away from any?! (and naturally I want it!) Although I HATE photos of myself, this genuinely was a candid shot of the back of my head. If you scroll down you’ll see my ‘why are you pointing that at me?’...
