At the beginning of this year, we decided to take on the challenge of Veganuary. I was approaching one year of being vegetarian and my partner was considering cutting out meat, so he suggested we gave it a go. We didn't look back. All the amazing food we tried was like opening a door to …
Eating at Atomic Burger, Oxford 🍔
Last month, we went to see Peace at the O2 Academy in Oxford. I don’t know if I’m just old (in my mind) or too lazy to stand for long, but I wasn’t really bothered about seeing the support act, so we took the opportunity to grab a bite to eat on Cowley Road before …
Dinner at Thaikhun, Oxford
I took a little 'girls night' trip to the centre of Oxford last week and one of my friends suggested we went to Thaikhun, located on George Street. I've walked past this place a hundred times and always said I'd love to go in and give it a try, but it took up until now …
Why I Went Veggie
If you weren't aware (because let's face it, I've been fairly quiet on here of late), I decided to become a vegetarian about 6 months ago. It was something I'd been quietly toying with for a while, but found quite difficult to make the jump - I could hear my 11 year old self hounding …

Christmas at Blenheim
Last week, I was invited to the launch night of ‘Christmas at Blenheim’, a stunning display of Christmas lights on a trail around the grounds of Blenheim Palace. You might remember that I ran 10km at Blenheim Palace a couple of months ago, so I was quite happy to only be walking instead this time! …
£10 Asda Food Challenge – Part 2 💰
Well...it's a week later and I haven't starved, so I guess you could call my £10 food challenge a success. It was certainly tough and I learnt way more than I anticipated... but first, let's talk about what I ate. I kicked off the challenge last Monday evening, with the intention of completing 5 days …
£10 Asda Food Challenge – Part 1 💰
On 30th October, I attended the opening event for the new Asda store in Didcot. Before the doors were officially opened, I was given a tour of the store and got to speak to the managers. Judging by the queue of people outside and the lack of larger shops in Didcot, the new Asda has …
