Burgers and Booths – Five Guys

I did something totally unheard of last weekend. I visited a fast food restaurant chain! This isn't so strange, you might think. But if you know me and are reading this you'll know it is, and you may have just let out a little gasp or chocked on your coffee! I'm not a food snob… Continue reading Burgers and Booths – Five Guys

Elbowed in the Forest

I've been a fan of Elbow around 15 years. I like to think of myself as one of the early day fans, I enjoyed their music before it was cool to enjoy it, before some tunes became overplayed on the radio, before they were 'mainstream'. I have been lucky enough to see them play live… Continue reading Elbowed in the Forest

I Got a Golden Ticket – Ed Sheeran

You may have read my previous post a few days ago declaring I'd had a busy week, one deserving of two blog posts. Well here's the second significant man. Ed Sheeran. (The first man can be found here.) Do you remember my rant back in February 'The Elusive Golden Ticket - Ed Sheeran'? If you haven't… Continue reading I Got a Golden Ticket – Ed Sheeran

Russell Brand Re:Birth – Norwich

What a week it has been! A week so full it's worthy of two blog posts, both involving some important men in my life. Let's begin with the first significant man, Russell Brand. (You can read about the second one here.) Monday marked my 6th time seeing this splendid chap. Don't judge, I'm not some obsessed… Continue reading Russell Brand Re:Birth – Norwich

Baby Shower – Oaklands Norwich

Baby shower and a brewSo my friend is pregnant! Well she was, she's now Mummy to the adorable baby Luna. My oldest friend was having a baby, not my oldest friend in age (although she is getting closer to 30 everyday!), I should say my longest friend. I felt old enough when my younger sister… Continue reading Baby Shower – Oaklands Norwich

Turtle Bay Norwich – A Rollercoaster in Pyjamas

We've all had various experiences when out dining with family or friends, bad food, good food, poor service, great service. As someone that really likes to try new places, but is also restricted as to where I can access, I often end up sticking to my comfortable favourites, just like an old faithful pair of… Continue reading Turtle Bay Norwich – A Rollercoaster in Pyjamas

Naidex – The NEC Birmingham

  Staying at Douglas House in Oxford last week was the perfect opportunity for me to attend Naidex, at The NEC in Birmingham (just over an hours drive away), Europes biggest disability trade show for professionals and consumers. Somehow (shamefully) I had never heard of or come across Naidex before, until a fellow wheeler introduced me.… Continue reading Naidex – The NEC Birmingham

It’s The DOD – David O’Doherty at Norwich Playhouse

Norwich Playhouse is one of my favourite places, and has been for a few years now. I properly discovered this arty venue while I was studying my MA at Norwich University of the Arts, which main building is situated just opposite. This cosy, friendly, quirky bar and theatre became my second home. The relaxing atmosphere perfect… Continue reading It’s The DOD – David O’Doherty at Norwich Playhouse

Christmas, New Year, and those in between

So Christmas is over, or the apocalypse as I like to refer to it by. We've stuffed ourselves silly like there's no tomorrow. Stocked up on a months supply of food for 2 days. And now January is here, fitness ads are on the telly, we are ready for detox! A bit of a cynic… Continue reading Christmas, New Year, and those in between

It's a friend of mine, Charlene's, 30th birthday this week, today in fact. As one of her multiple… Continue reading Coast to Coast – Birthday Brunch
