The carnival has arrived in Newcastle, all thanks to Revolution De Cuba. Newcastle is such an upping coming, thriving city yet I take it for granted living so close to it. There are so many nooks and crannies that I’m yet to discover. I often learn things about the city from tourists which is shocking considering it’s 20…
Hello again! I thought I’d start this post grovelling about how inconsistent I’ve been on here posting over the last few weeks, July and August have proven very busy, so apologies and I’m back, I promise. Juggling life is hard sometimes, right? I’ll master this whole adulting thing one day. Amongst my busy schedule, I managed to squeeze…
Oh, look, it’s Coffee O’clock! I do thoroughly enjoy a good cup of coffee every now and again do you? Usually day-to-day, I’m a green tea kinda’ gal but recently, I’ve been craving coffee. Specifically on an afternoon, when the tiredness starts to kick in, y’know. #AdultLife. I’m partial to a fancy coffee from Starbucks when I’m passing…

The city has finally started to open new doors, present new opportunities and really gain its sense of atmosphere back. The Sunderland foodie scene has come on leaps and bounds over…

That was until Newcastle City Centre become home to a thriving foodie scene establishing over the last few…
If you follow me on social media you’ll have spotted me out and about in London town at the weekend. I have close friends who live in the city and it was time myself and my Mam paid them a visit! London, the capital of England, is possibly the most famous and magical city of all. It’s a…
Going for afternoon tea might actually be one of my favourite things to do! I’d probably class it as one of my hobbies as I’ve become a bit of serial afternoon tea goer. Last Sunday, myself and my Mam headed to Six the stunning rooftop restaurant situated on the sixth floor of Newcastle’s legendary BALTIC Centre for Contemporary…
Last weekend myself and one of my girlfriends headed into Toon for an afternoon tea date at the Copthorne Hotel Newcastle. Situated in one of the most attractive and convenient locations in the city, set on the quayside the four-star accommodation offers stunning views of the River Tyne. I absolutely LOVE the quayside, it’s such a thriving, buzzing…
Let’s talk about pizza. Who doesn’t love pizza? I certainly do. I’d go as far as to say pizza is up there with one of my favourite foods. Just gimme’ all of the pizza! Last week I was kindly invited down to PizzaStorm, possibly the best pizza joint in toon. PizzaStorm, in my eyes, is the pizza equivalent…
