Fashion. I love it, but I love it my way.
I have an interesting relationship with fashion. I love it but am not a slave to it. My mood can be determined by my outfit. What I wear can determine what confidence I have in a given circumstance. I also think that what someone wears can tell a lot about a person. Not in the way that it can determine how 'with it' they are or how loaded they must be. It's to do with how people carry them selves, their creativity, individuality and what is perceived as their priorities.

Okay foodies, what have we got to look forward to as and when the weather dares to be more amenable..?
I love food. I love cooking it, eating it, eating out, watching food shows, reading the Sunday glossies, farmers markets... What else is there? Ooh yeah, Wholefoods, this place just fills me with joy and empties my pockets.
But most importantly, food festivals. Food. Lots of it, freebies, cooking demo's, lashings of yummy booze and then as a result of the aforementioned... lots of happy people with happy tummies. The perfect day out. Just try and keep me away.

A few months have past since my last list of recommendations and I have been dutifuly hammering my kindle to make sure I can recommend the best reads for you. I'm also happy to see that kindle editions on Amazon appear to be returning back to their original bargain price (or cheaper at least) rather than the ridiculous hike toward the latter end of 2015.

The north/south divide. The long running jokes, idiosyncratic differences, language and mentality. It's just grand!

I'm a northerner living down south and have done so for the last 14 years. I love London, that's why I'm here, but there's still a place in my heart for West Yorkshire. There's something about going home that, regardless of where you choose to live, just sparks something inside that needs to be embraced every now and again.
