What we’ve been cooking?! For those of you who have been following the blog for a while, we’ve been using a service called HelloFresh basically since COVID-19 began. We finally decided, five or so years into marriage that the time had come for us to learn how to cook. And a year on from then,…

One of the ideals of fitness that I’ve held onto is the ability to lift weights and run long distances. To have good strength as well as endurance. My issue is that I really struggle to get motivated with the cardio aspect of this goal…(and dieting!..but that’s not the focus here!) For probably around 10…
“The secret to success is taking an interest in life.” I read this quote recently as part of a personal growth programme I’ve signed up to. And I really do agree with it.

This week has been pretty sociable, it feels like we’re getting closer to something resembling “normal” but it is still such a far way off! Whisky with a Friend – A couple of weeks ago I invited a friend to come and chill, sit in the garden and drink whisky. He was up for it…

It’s time for a weekly review and highlight reel. This last week has been an altogether good week, if slightly uneventful. 1. Yesterday I went to my parents house for a BBQ. It’s the first time I’d been round since March and it was so good to see flesh and blood family, rather digital versions…
