Sometimes, because I am a ridiculous human, after a tough day of behaving like an adult I will put on a ludicrous dress, an oversized shirt or jumper and sandals (or wellies) and go for a ‘stomp around’. I’m not sure if it’s the people I meet, the rabbits scattering into the corners of fields, the bemused looking goats and llamas, views across the hills, the smell of the open air or the kicking off of shoes, hiking up of skirts and running down a hill whooping, but I come home grinning like a loon every time! #thecountrysidecureall #thingswedowhennooneiswatching #absolutelynotpretendingtobelizziebennetatallnosir

We did the Bristol food passport thing last week and were absolutely blown away by the generosity and enthusiasm of the businesses involved! For £12 and 13 stops we thought we would just be picking up a sample at each stop but several places sat us down and gave us starter sized portions; kedgeree at Fishers, pigs in blankets and a homemade sausage roll at the Clifton Sausage, baklava at Saffron - pictured are the offerings from @nutmeg Indian and @eastvillagebristol (and the front of @annacakecouture who was handing out earl grey macarons) There was plenty more as we made all the stops but one as we’d chatted too long the place had closed! It was a lovely way to rediscover a city we lived in and loved for years and find new places to try out in future! #themunchbunch #thegrubclub #ladieswholunchfor6hoursstraight #elasticwastebandsohyeah (to the tune of Baba O’Reily)

This is one of those places you can spend several hours in and still be reluctant to leave. Obviously I left with books. My new year’s resolution to ‘under no condition buy any more books until I’ve read the ones I’ve got’ completely broken by 5 pocket sized penguins. #Iregretnothing #butIdidnthaveTHESEbooks #ohlookbooks

I used to skip down here in a red duffel coat that matched my sister’s (so that when one of us wandered off, usually me, Mum could say ‘I’m looking for one of these but bigger’). The Hague is a fun city for anyone but the layers of nostalgia make it something special for someone who has no answer to that dreaded question of ‘but where are you from?’ #fromthunderstormtoicecreamsinthesun #ikhouvanholland #ikbenthuis
