The past 2 years have been some what of an adventure but not one that I would ever have picked.  Life is so different now to what it was 2 years ago and it really has been a huge rollercoaster of a ride to get to where I am today.  By no stretch of the imagination has it been a fun ride, more like a neverending ghost train stuck on full speed.  I’m in need of an adventure.  An adventure that takes me far away from the winter weather in the UK.  An adventure that includes some winter sun and… View Post

When you walk into your bedroom, you should feel instantly relaxed and calm. Your bedroom is your private escape from the world, the place where you should be able to escape to as and when you need to.

The lovely people at Biscuiteers’ sent me a box of their fruit iced vanilla biscuits to try.  Biscuiteers are a London based company run by husband and wife team Harriet Hastings and Stevie Congdon.  Buscuiteers’ launched in Autumn of 2007 with their amazing mission staement: ‘Why send flowers when you can send biscuits instead?’ Having tried this beautiful fruit basket of biscuits I really do agree with this mission staement although the odd bunch of flowers won’t go amiss every now and then. The fruit basket contained 16 iced vanilla biscuits which were carefully packaged in a keepsake metal tin.  The… View Post

In spite of every pack containing serious warnings and descriptive images about the carcinogenic and other derogatory health impacts that smoking can have on human health, millions of people in the United Kingdom still smoke cigarettes on a daily basis.
