I like all things nature, space, plant based food & sci-fi. Walking, exercise, camping. Woman of cats. Love Nick Cave & generally staring into the abyss.
I can live with that 😆

Just ransacked the cupboards because I’m craving dark chocolate & really want a piece to go with this red wine. Managed to find a single small piece of the darkest of dark 😍

I’m so food obsessed I saw someone making homemade beans just now on Instagram and immediately had to make some myself. With the addition of cold pressed chilli oil 👌🏻

We finally got a coffee machine! 🙌🏻 Yippee! This is going to pay for itself in no time given the embarrassing number of takeaway coffees we buy 🥴. Can’t wait to get stuck in!

I’m in my usual haunt and there are two young blokes at the next table looking at coffee machines online and working out how many coffees they buy a year 😂 This is a conversation I’ve had many times. Also saying how beautiful the coffee is here. Can get behind all of this 👏🏻

I know everyone raves about sourdough, and I do like it, but I much prefer a simple soda bread. So much less hassle and tastes better in my opinion. Controversial I know

Rather blurred photo but we made some ‘broccoli bread.’ 10yo immediately spat hers out and said it was ‘disgusting.’ 😂

I have spent so long studying Ellen Hutter for Halloween that I’ve convinced myself I need a white Victorian style nightdress in my real life
