I am back writing!!! It’s been a while, huh!? Lockdown gave me the attention span of a goldfish and the capacity to only watch arty/craft programmes (Big Flower Fight, Home is where art is and Grayon Perry’s art club are my top recommendations)…not necessarily anything any wants to read about. But I am slowly making…
Welsh National Opera: The Marriage of Figaro
“[The Marriage of Figaro] demands to be seen in the theatre. Its plot is complicated, but this is something to be relished not feared; its complexity is part of the work’s raison d’etre. Life is messy, and Figaro reflects that.” Aidan Lang, General Director of Welsh National Opera The closest I have previously come to…
Vegan wine and cheese night!
I haven’t had the brain power to sit and write a proper post about food/drink recently (OK I have been fully addicted to Love is Blind instead, sorry!) BUT there are some evenings that deserve more than just an instagram post. An evening that brings together some dreamy people to provide all the vegan wine…

Not your average dinner and a show! Old Market Assembly and Wardrobe Theatre
There are very few things I do not like about Christmas (it’s mainly about eating and drinking for me, which you may have picked up amongst my favourite pastimes). Panto however, is a no from me! Luckily, a Christmas feast at The Old Market Assembly and and a show at The Wardrobe Theatre could not…
The Future of Food: thinking about sustainability
How much do you think about the future when picking out your next meal? Sustainability is a hot topic at the moment (rightly so – as we try to make some headway into fixing some of the mistakes of the past and the impact we have had on this planet) but how much does it…
Glitch Eatery Launch!
Glitch has always been much more than a hair salon: art gallery, music venue, plant shop and kitchen! The multi-concept store is soon to have a little bit of a makeover though to launch their new eatery, focused on the “Bunwich” – where they are mixing up fashion and food even more. “What is a bunwich?”…
FareShare – Green Food Tour
There are times when I have to sit and reflect on how lucky I am. Firstly, I was born in the best city full of the dreamiest people… And more seriously, I am fortunate enough to have never worried about going hungry – something I so often take for granted. Over the last few weeks I…
FAME – THE MUSICAL! at Bristol Hippodrome
A miserable Monday night was made better by an invite to Bristol Hippodrome’s opening night of Fame – The Musical 30th Anniversary Tour. The absolute perfect excuse to treat my theatrical friend the day before her birthday (what excellent timing!) and bring back nostalgic memories of her time in Performing Arts school. “…It has the…

There are some people in your life that particularly deserved to be spoilt. Luckily I got to spoil just that person recently when I took my friend Gemma to the delightful Hotel du Vin Bristol.
