Beerd

With my friend Georgia recently taking up residence in Cotham, we are now on a mission (be it rather slow) to get to know the area and try out the local eateries and drinking establishments. Last night, it was the turn of Beerd. A cute, cosy, cafe style restaurant specialising in beers (it's a Bath Ales pub) and pizza. A great combo really and with the tempting offer of two for one pizzas on a Monday, it really just had to happen. The pizza's were tasty (although a bit mean on the chili) and an offering of basil oil, chili oil and garlic mayo was gladly accepted. A fab, budget friendly place to go with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, I'll definitely be back.

Chutney

I had been saying all over the Summer that I was going to start making Chutney. What with our bumper tomato harvests of 2013 and my general love of condiments, it just had to happen at some point. I was pretty pleased with the results when I finally got around to it as Autumn came. A spicy, sweet tomato chutney which is now almost finished. Time to make another I think...

By Terry

With the cold weather encroaching on us, my skin has started to feel really dry and scaly and my usual Mac Pro-Longwear foundation was starting to look a bit cloggy. As it was payday weekend, I thought I'd take a trip to Space NK to get some advice and find myself a luxuriously moisturising foundation to cure my lizard like skin and make it radiant and glowing! I tried a few different brands, but typically the most expensive one felt the best. I decided to settle on By Terry Sheer-Expert and Touche Veloutee. The Sheer-Expert foundation (in honey beige) glides on like silk and has a very sheer, dewy finish. The Touche Veloutee, just helps with grey under-eye areas. Both are very lightweight so don't provide heavy coverage, this is what I was looking for though, very pleased and highly recommended!

Tyntesfield

Satisfying my granny tendencies, my friend Georgia and I recently took a trip to Tyntesfield, where i was seriously impressed with the beautiful blooms and amazing kitchen garden.

Davines

My new haircare regime, Davines Nounou Shampoo and Conditioner. Natural, organic, delicious and most importantly my hair feels so much softer and healthy.
