2018 Goals and Resolutions
On 7th January 2018 by Helen2017 was quite possibly my best year yet and I can’t quite believe what I achieved, saw and did in those 365 days.

Blogweekendmas 2nd & 3rd December – Waddesdon Manor

On 2nd December 2017 by HelenIf you’ve read this blog for a while you’ll remember reading pretty much about a year ago my ‘Let’s Talk Gluten’ post where I went into some detail about coeliac disease and where I was in the process of my diagnosis. Since that post a few things have changed, but as always with most coeliacs Read More

Las Iguanas Review
On 12th November 2017 by HelenFoodie post alert…I feel if I can’t travel, I’ll eat and I’ll always choose carbs as the way forwards because, well, they’re just so good. It does mean I complain on a weekly bases to my PT that my weight’s pretty stable and not going down as fast as I’d like (poor man’s just learnt Read More

Brighton
On 10th September 2017 by HelenThis weekend I took a spontaneous road trip down to Brighton. Originally I was meant to be going to London, but train fares cost the earth here in the U.K. and London is never a cheap day out, so randomly I decided to take a trip to the English seaside and go to Brighton. I’ve Read More
