20 Things About Me
It occurred to me whilst on my recent blog break that I write with old readers in mind; the ones who have been following my blog from the early days, like talking to old friends I guess (*waves*). But in fact, there are new readers here too and I thought an introduction was way overdue. Hello, new readers!

Home and Style Finds
Here’s a few choice pieces I’ve bookmarked for the home and wardrobe that have caught my attention lately. My bank balance won’t cover these things anytime soon but I can live vicariously through the blog instead, right? There are a couple of dog related items in there, naturally. And for full disclosure I might mention Christmas once too. Sue me. From left to right:

Walk + Eat: Biscuit Fudge
Biscuit Fudge. Chewy, rich, with added crunch; one of my favourite treats to accompany outdoor adventures and the second recipe for the Walk + Eat series.

End of the Road Festival 2017
Hello chums, how’s your September shaping up so far? Feeling positive about the new season ahead? Think about all that new stationery (not just for school kids) and autumnal awesomeness to come! Can you tell I’m excited? We’ve returned from our annual summer trip to End of the Road Festival and I’m feeling partially human again. We booked time off after the festival you see, so I’m still in holiday mode until next week and appreciating every second of it. There’s been…

Cosy Camping Essentials
When I’m camping I like to embrace the simplicity of it; the fresh air, being unplugged from the world and the minimal nature of outdoor living.

Good Vibes Only: Holidays, Hikes and Foot Rest
Hello all! It’s been a while since I’ve done a proper catch up post so I thought I’d sit down today with a cuppa by my side, and empty my brain (and the biscuit tin) of all the reasons to be cheerful lately.

Swapping Complaining for Swearing
I hate it when I moan. I really do. I’ll find myself, by default, complaining about trivial things that I can’t control as if that’s the only option to a problem. When in fact it doesn’t help at all, annoys people around you and probably makes things worse. I’ve had a lot of perspective thrown my way in the past few years with my parents ill-health. If there is anything good that has come out of my mum’s depression, dad’s…

Walk + Eat: Flapjack
I mentioned in my previous post that there would be a new blog series on Mathilde heart Manech. Welcome to the first instalment of Walk + Eat; simple and homely recipes to accompany outdoor adventures. I decided to incorporate my love of walking with something I’d like to do more of – making homemade food. Whether that be snacks for the Tupperware box or food for the flask, I’m hoping I’ll soon have an array of simple and delicious recipes…

Back From My Blogging Break
Hello chums. How are things? Enjoying the summer? Frustrated by the weather? Yeah, I feel ya. I thought I’d be back here within a week of taking a blog break but as always life happened (the house got sick), and I got used to, and enjoyed, not worrying about my little space on the internet.

Good Vibes Only ft. Lighthouse Clothing
Let’s talk for just a minute about how great it is to finally enjoy summer; the never-ending ice cream, paddling in the river with the pup, daisy chains, cheese and wine picnics followed by lazy weekend naps…ah, it’s grand ain’t it. Naturally I’ve had a good moan about it too because, you know, I’m only human (and British); when you sneeze and break a sweat, enough is enough my friends. But in true Good Vibes Only style I’ll take the…

JYSK Giveaway
A surefire way to motivate myself to tidy our home (besides the usual reward of a cup of tea and a generous slice of Victoria Sponge) is to have new homewares to dot around the place afterwards. I was eager to tidy the house this weekend so I could play with my new goodies from Danish retailer, JYSK. JYSK sell Scandinavian style furniture and homewares for the bedroom, bathroom, living room, office and garden. I’m besotted with the brand’s design led, quality…
