Easter Weekender – Best Places in Manchester for Dining, Pampering & Rejuvenation!
My long Easter weekend started a day before the weekend, actually. It was fun but exhausting. That’s probably what I’d say about the majority of the fun times in my life. Because I’m rarely one for planning just one event to keep me entertained. I always seem to believe I can do more in a…

5 Fun Things to do in Chester
I visited Chester with my three younger sisters last Sunday (a week today) and we enjoyed such an incredible adventure together.

The Un-Perks of Being A Drama Queen
With this whole #traingate fiasco between Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn vs Richard Branson of Virgin Trains I can’t help but think this all could have been avoided if Jeremy too had read that ACE workbook…

Top 5 Places to Wine and Dine in Style in the Costa del Sol
I had so much fun living like a lady of leisure for a week. I’ve been back one day and I miss it already. Of course who wouldn’t miss sunbathing by the pool or beach with a good book in one hand and a cocktail in the other? Unfortunately, there’s not much to write about…
