Is it cheating to post a recipe I have already championed you may be asking? The answer is no when it's this good! Chocolate, check. Oreos, check...perfection!

Movies & Pizza| 23 Southfield Road | Oxford | 07.02.2015 |

Sharing pizza with some of my best girl friends can only end in one movie choice and it's fair to say Bridget Jones Diary is truly one of my biggest guilty pleasures. Not only is this film heartbreaking, funny and witty, it joins us girls together in a war against the world of dating, dieting and boys! 

We may not all have a Mr Darcy but we have each other...and pizza of course!

Ellie & Lenny | Oxford | 27.09.2014 |

The oldest thing I own is probably, like most girls my age, my childhood toy. Meet Ellie the elephant and his newer friend Lenny. Despite the fact my 4 year old self had a severe oversight in naming a boy elephant, Ellie, I have proudly had this toy for 17 years, keeping me company when I've been all alone and in need of a cuddle.

Yes it may be seen as sad to still have a toy at 21, but until I have someone to rely on to take to bed every night, I'll continue to keep him close.

30 Photos | Day 13: Something New

Me | Amersham | 06.11.2015 |

I know something new implies something material but for me the most drastic thing that has happened to me recently is my new hair cut! I have had hair that fell all the way down my back for over three years now and due to a lot of bad hair dye and a bottle of home-dye bleach (absolute disaster, and I have to admit not my first encounter with such problems), I just had to get rid of the damage!

Arm my mum with a pair of scissors and tell her to let lose, and I'm now 8 inches of hair lighter! I love it for now, but who knows how long it;ll be until I wish for my long locks again!

Canon 70D | Amersham | 23.10.2015 |

OMG! I can't believe I own this bad-boy! I have pined after a DSLR for over 5 years and I finally got gifted it by my father as an incentive for my third year at university. I have treasured my old Panasonic Lumix fZ45 since I was 15 but it was time to move up in the world of photography, and graduate to the big leagues.

I can't wait to document more of my life in HD!

30 Photos | Day 11: Tradition

Olivia picking strawberries | Prestwood | 21.07.2015 |

I know most traditions find their roots in years of family history, and though my family share the same traditions as many, like putting up the Christmas tree together and having brunch on birthdays, this year is going to be slightly different due to my big sister being in France for a ski season, so I thought I'd share a newer tradition.

This one may be unseasonal, but one of my favourite new traditions over the past few summers has been strawberry picking with  my best friend Olivia. Here she is finding the best of the harvest at Peterley Manor Farm near her house in Prestwood.

May the strawberries never stop growing and the cream never stop flowing!

My Garden in the Snow | Chesham Bois | 22.01.2013 |


Winter. When snow looks so beautiful, how can anyone really love any season more than winter?

In England we get an occasional summer day where a beaming sun seems to bring everything to life, or that feeling after the rains of Autumn make the golden leaves glisten, but as weather goes, we seem to get more than our fair share of miserable nothing days. So as seasons go we can pretty much expect rain in all four of them, but in winter, when the temperature is just right, that rain we so love to hate, turns in to the flurry of beautiful white snow.

It's that feeling when the air is so cold it hurts your cheeks to walk down the road, when your fingers go numb even when they are tucked inside your pockets, that's the feeling that I love.

Hello Winter, welcome back!
