Let's be honest, if we're meeting a friend for coffee, heading out on a date night or planning a family day out, we want to go somewhere that looks good on The Gram.

My life in photos: September 2017
I've always loved September. I think it's the whole 18 years in education, followed by five years of working in higher education, that always makes it feel like the start of a new year. It's the changing seasons too; it's kinda magical! Here's a look back at our September. I started the month with a… Continue reading My life in photos: September 2017

Item of the day: Poirot from Waterstones
When I was Christmas shopping in Truro a few backs I popped into Waterstones, as you do, and marvelled at the festive paperbacks. I fell for these beautiful editions of Poirot - The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding and Hercule Poirot's Christmas. Aren't they just the perfect stocking fillers for bookworms? I have to admit,… Continue reading Item of the day: Poirot from Waterstones

Christmas shopping in Truro
I was going to dedicate last week's Friday Favourites to my Christmas shopping trip but sleep has proved a bigger priority than writing over the last few days and I've also been trying to free up some storage; it seems I've reached the limit on WordPress' free storage capacity. This could be the kick up… Continue reading Christmas shopping in Truro

Exploring Cornwall: The Alverton, Truro
Last summer I was invited to The Alverton in Truro to sample their afternoon tea selection and it was a welcome treat, with Jenson a mere four weeks old. This summer I was invited back* to try an evening meal - and I was not disappointed. My mum came over to watch Jenson so we… Continue reading Exploring Cornwall: The Alverton, Truro
Christmas comes to Truro: City of Lights Parade
I normally don't like to start thinking about Christmas until after my birthday (six more sleeps, in case you were wondering!) but there's something about the Truro City of Lights Parade which gets me full of festive cheer. It's the night that the Christmas lights are turned on in Truro and, prior to the switch-on,… Continue reading Christmas comes to Truro: City of Lights Parade
