Have you SEEN the new Star Wars toys, an R2-D2 robot & BB8 vehicle from Thinkway Toys? No… Well, if you’ve got a little boy like mine then you might just wanna read on! Oh AND join in with a mega Twitter party I’m co hosting on 30th November from 1-2.30pm – not only will we be talking all things Thinkway R2-D2 and BB-8 but we’ll be giving away some rather fabulous Toys R Us vouchers and if that wasn’e enough you […]

I’ve waxed lyrical on the blog about how much we love Brio. Jimmy gets more and more into the building and creating a story and it continued to eb a massively impressive toy for all of us. I could talk about how long lasting the quality is (I still have a set at my Mum’s for the children top play with which was mine when I was small’ and I could tell you that it really is lovely to watch […]

Social influencing. What is that? Are we only entitled to consider ourselves such if we have sixty thousand followers on Instagram, a similar amount on Twitter and stats to throw us through the roof of every chart going? Hmm, no, I don’t think so. To me, a social influencer is just that. Someone who influences others socially. Now this can be on a grand scale and probably how we ‘most’ consider it to be… Someone who walks on star dust […]

I love a touch of fizz for Christmas (or any other time of the year to be fair) and think it really adds a touch of sparkle to a festive party. Can you imagine a Chrimbo get together without bubbles? No, me either and some of the best, I always feel, are Prosecco and Cava. A less expensive alternative to Champagne but seriously, in lots of cases no less quality. I think Cava is closest in taste to Champers but I […]

THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK – THE TOURING YEARS has its Home Entertainment release today and is available on digital download, Blu-ray and DVD (with special 2 disc editions in both formats). Now, my husband is a MASSIVE Beatles fan, they are one of the bands who inspired him the most to be a musician and in fact, the very first time I realised I quite fancied him was actually when I saw him singing ‘Come Together’ in a pub […]

Back in July I made my annual pilgrimage around the Christmas press shows of London and although I talked a little about it back then, I’ve been saving all of my favourite things, from the feasting to the fiesta-ing until now… I know it’s only early November but I’ve waited as long as I could and there’s already been Christmas rumblings on Instagram so… I just had to throw Christmas out there and get my very best of the season into the […]

So I have a friend who ONLY wears Crocs. She says she’d never wear any other footwear because they look good and they are SO comfy. This summer when I started Instagramming pictures of my new summery Crocs and saying things like ‘Crocs have come a long way since the clog, who knew?!’ she was very cross with me and told me that SHE knew, had known for ages and HAD been telling me… I clearly hadn’t listened but with […]

Today I had the privilege of getting a first peek at the spring/summer style for Mothercare’s 2017 collection. It was, as always, really interesting to see everything up, colourful and awaiting some sunshine and beaches but the highlight for me is always the Little Bird By Jools collection. I don’t think it needs any introduction as I know I’m not in the minority being a fan but just to let you know why I love it so much here are […]

A couple of month’s ago I wrote about my very first experience of wearing Hotter Shoes. I had never had a pair myself and had assumed that they weren’t really for my age bracket on the basis of nothing much other than the fact my Mum wears them. I was so surprised when I went shopping there myself, with a view to wearing their shoes on my own two feet, to find that actually, they are well and truly up […]

When we moved back to Norfolk we bought annual passes to BeWILDerwood because it’s quite simply, not just the best day out in the county, but in our opinion, the best day out in the COUNTRY! And we LOVE being able to go all the time with our passes which are actually very reasonably priced. We never get bored, and enjoy every season in the woods swinging through the trees on zip wires (there are even baby ones for tiny tots), sliding […]
