Rescue a wild animal
We have a pussy cat, Mia, who at the best of times is the sweetest thing alive. Sadly though, she does still have her natural animalistic tendencies and has been known to bring in the odd mouse or two. The (early) morning of VE Day 2020, she decided to bring us an unusual and unwanted…

Do the Old Trafford Stadium Tour
I am a HUGE Manchester United fan (and so is Alex now), and so the Old Trafford Stadium Tour was always a part of my bucket list; I’ve been here a few times to see matches, but never to look around! Alex’s sister lives in Manchester, and we went to visit her and her boyfriend…

Flying With A Cold
We’ve all been there – busy life sweeps you away, and just as you wind down into your holiday, the dreaded lurgy hits you like a train! If you’re lucky and catch it early enough, Vicks First Defence spray is a miracle worker and can usually sort you out in a day or so. If…

Hutong, The Shard
For my birthday, Alex took me to London for a meal and drinks at The Shard, and a visit to the ice bar. When we arrived, we were sent up in a lift to level 33 where we stepped out into an authentic Chinese restaurant, complete with lanterns, trees, wooden wall accents and the most…
