Too cool for school

Take a look at this, from the school that my girls used to go to in Brussels: European School Brussels I LipDub These kids are seriously too cool for school. Though possibly they should have spent the rehearsal time revising for their bacs (European Baccalaureate) …. just saying.

Beef and ale tale

Sponsored post Having interviewed Lorraine Kelly last week I was really keen to crack on with making her beef and ale pie, which is her recipe as part of the Tesco Real Food Challenge, but of course I had to wait until the stars were in the right conjunction … or rather, for a moment …

Big hugs

It was the first beauty product I used, and I remember feeling tremendously sophisticated when I unscrewed the cap on the cleansing milk.

The dog library?

I had the most brilliant idea when walking around the park this morning. Well, I thought it was brilliant, see what you think. There were lots of dogs with their owners, on a perfect early summer’s day, with blue skies and a slight breeze. It was just a lovely day to take a dog for …
