Dairy Milk buttons | Oxford | 27.09.2015 |

Forget the fancy pants brands of Lindt and Green & Blacks, there is nothing I love more than Cadbury's chocolate and in particular their giant buttons.

Where She Went | Gayle Forman | Amersham | 30.12.2015

I am ashamed to say that I rarely read but the truth is I always find something better to do, normally to watch a film which in hindsight is the far lazier option. I do however always read at Christmas tucked up in front of the fire, and last year was no exception.

This book, 'Where she went', is the sequel to the more known 'If I stay' which was made into a feature film starring Chloe Grace Moretz. The book follows on from the first novel in the aftermath of a traumatic family car crash to which only the oldest daughter survived. This sequel focuses on the life she leads without her family and captures my imagination in the most simple way, with a strong desire to reach the end and find out if she can be happy. What more could a girl want for herself or for a character she has felt many a pang of the heart for.

Much recommended for an easy yet fulfilling read.

Mylo | Amersham | 01.09.2015

Isn't he perfect! My boy Mylo was given to me for my 18th birthday as a kitten and he is now 4 years old but as still as much of a big baby as he was when I first got him.

Antique silver locket | Amersham | 25.01.2015

This gem will indeed stay firmly by my side forever more after being given to me by my best friend Olivia for my 21st birthday. Knowing I love a bit of history and antiques, she found this gorgeous silver locket from the first world war and I couldn't love the sentiment more.

Handmade wrap top | Amersham | 29.04.2015

If you too share a larger than average chest like I do then you will find buying any kind of 'skimpy' top entirely impossible, thus I decided to whip up my own. Using a mannequin I draped and pinned until I had the perfect bodice fit and then put on a pair of long arms to suck in my wobbly bits and you see, ta da, the perfect piece of clothing!

Girls Night | Amersham | 26.07.2015 |

What's better than a night in with my two besties, cooking a carbolicious dinner and taking some beautiful selfies? The answer...Nothing!

I've had these two beautiful girls in my life for what seems like forever already, and I know they shall be in it for the rest too. No doubt they'll be many a movie night to come and many more opportunities for me to cook for them too.

Love you girls!
