James and I are off on holiday next week and I cannot bloomin’ wait. We are off to Prague to hopefully do a mix of eating, sightseeing and relaxing. I’m hoping we’ll catch the tail end of summer and it’ll still be warm but Autumn appears to be ready to grace us with it’s presence….
Cheltenham-based clothing brand Weird Fish is aiming for gold in this year’s Cheltenham in Bloom. Weird Fish’s award-winning car park garden, created by Ron Morris and Nick Harford, won gold for best eco garden in last year’s competition and the team hope to keep hold of gold status.

Taking to the stage, Britain’s best-loved publican celebrates the wealth of produce showcased at this ultimate harvest festival event. Otter Farm’s Mark Diacono hosts the Cookery Theatre throughout the weekend and a…
Early weekday mornings are a bit of a struggle; the snooze button gets far more action than it should and I sometimes need my backup alarm in the shape of James to get me out of bed. Having said that, when the weekend comes around I’ll be lucky if I can sleep in past 8am….

Pizza joints are popping up all over Bristol at the moment, all being added to our list of where to eat next. The one that immediately made it to the top was the new venture from the guys at Casamia; PiShop. We wandered over one evening after work and were pleasantly surprised to see one…
James and I have gone and got these new super busy jobs recently, which we often get caught up in. It can sometimes be a struggle to wind down in the evenings if it’s been a particularly hectic one. One of our favourite things to do, which coincidentally helps with the blog, is going out…

The exhibition is spread across multiple floors, starting at the bottom where children can let their creative juices…
