2018 Goals and Resolutions
On 7th January 2018 by Helen2017 was quite possibly my best year yet and I can’t quite believe what I achieved, saw and did in those 365 days. I started the year in Sydney in the Botanic Gardens watching the fireworks, spent the middle of the year in New Zealand and the last few months back at home in the
Blogweekendmas 16th & 17th December – Christmas at Kew Gardens
On 23rd December 2017 by HelenSo I’m a little behind this week with ‘ye olde’ Blogweekendmas. Honestly I don’t know about you but this last week at work has been crazy busy trying to get everything sorted before Christmas Day. Thankfully I’m lucky and get the whole week off so I can have a lovely rest now. (This is a
Blogweekendmas 9th & 10th December – UK Snow
On 12th December 2017 by HelenOk, so this Blogweekendmas didn’t quite go as planned! Originally Saturday was meant to be spent at a spa with one of my besties, but sadly her son got a sickness bug so we had to cancel, and then on Sunday I was meant to be going up to Stratford Upon Avon to see my
Blogweekendmas 2nd & 3rd December – Waddesdon Manor
On 5th December 2017 by HelenThis weekend was a great start the Blogweekendmas. It flew by and I can safely say I was exhausted at work on Monday. Saturday kicked things off. I headed to Wattle&Co for coffee and gluten free pancakes stacked with stewed apple and maple syrup (I should own shares in this place I swear). I spent
What Is Coeliac Disease?
On 2nd December 2017 by HelenIf you’ve read this blog for a while you’ll remember reading pretty much about a year ago my ‘Let’s Talk Gluten’ post where I went into some detail about coeliac disease and where I was in the process of my diagnosis. Since that post a few things have changed, but as always with most coeliacs
Las Iguanas Review
On 12th November 2017 by HelenFoodie post alert…I feel if I can’t travel, I’ll eat and I’ll always choose carbs as the way forwards because, well, they’re just so good. It does mean I complain on a weekly bases to my PT that my weight’s pretty stable and not going down as fast as I’d like (poor man’s just learnt
Bonfire Night – Remember Remember The 5th November
On 5th November 2017 by AdminRemember remember the 5th of November… So why every 5th November do the English set thousands of fireworks alight and burn bonfires?? Well (bit of a history lesson here)…in 1605, 13 men had plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament whilst the King was present. The reason behind this act of treason was because
Wattle & Co Review
On 29th October 2017 by AdminIf you’ve read this blog for a while you’ll know I love brunch and I’m never happier than with eggs and a side of avo. Although in the UK we ‘do’ brunch/cafe society well, I would generally say it has a completely different feel compared to somewhere like Australia. Well guys I’ve found a place
WMGT Day 3
On 22nd October 2017 by HelenDay 3: Was insane! It was the day of our big mountain hike. We started the day with breakfast and then all congregated outside the hostel for a chat with Mollie and to pick up a complimentary Graze box for the day. We then headed to Glenridding where we were to be met by 3
WMGT Day 2
On 21st October 2017 by AdminDay 2: The real start to this adventure. We met for breakfast bright and early at 7:30am. I had brought my own breakfast being the awkward coeliac person but the hostel put on a pretty decent spread for everyone else including full English, cereal and toast as well as juices, tea and coffee. After breakfast
