It’s all in a sandwich

Happy Friday lovelies! If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know this already – I don’t like sandwiches. Seriously, how often do you see a sandwich or a wrap appear on here?

Imagine this….

….or, as the case may be, don’t. Normally, I’m really good at imagining things – when I used to compete regularly in dressage, I’d imagine riding through my test (every single step, corner, transition) over and over. I’d imagine finishing it with a smile, getting a great score, and winning the class. It’s amazing what [...]

Did someone say pumpkin?

Goooood Gosh. Literally, every single post I’ve read the past 2 days (from US bloggers) has been to do with pumpkin. Pumpkin oats, pumpkin yogurt, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin scones, pumpkin lattes…. ARGH! England. Does. Not. Sell. Pumpkin. Okay, maybe the odd online US-import online store, or London Whole Foods. But basically, you can’t get it [...]

Cruel to be kind

OH I am a cruel, cruel woman! After last Carter’s escapades last night, I decided I had to ban The Beautiful One from my room, just for the one night: It was so difficult..especially when I heard him crying and scrabbling at my door at 11.45pm…or when I woke up to find him curled up [...]
