The other week I was invited down to The Ivy Restaurant Victoria Quarter in Leeds, to try out their breakfast menu. I’ve been excited for The Ivy to finally open in Leeds, I’ve heard rumblings for the past few years but it’s finally here! Of course we’ve all heard about the iconic Ivy in London. But how do the regional ones differ? First impressions. The…
We’ve been in our house just over 4 years now. For anyone who has ever bought a house or even rented one that you were allowed to do up, you know the struggle of wanting to do everything straight away just simply not having the funds to do it. That’s why it’s taken me so long to get a kitchen I really love. But…

I was in Barcelona at the end of April for my friends hen do. And although I came away with something I didn’t want (a broken foot) we had a great time! I like doing these quick iPhone guides as it doesn’t take too much planning. It also means I can live a little bit more in the moment than I would behind a professional…

Not going to lie, it was the shitty half of 2018 so I’m hoping that the rest of the year is a little more positive. Update on May Goals 1. Recover – Still recovering. I’m not due…
