I made a return to one of my favourite coffee shop I made a return to one of my favourite coffee shops this weekend. 

I bloody love @woodstreetcoffee

The weather was gorgeous and the food was even better. I went for a chicken baguette and @heroesdieold went for bacon and egg. Obviously, I got from and convinced him to go half and half with me. We also got some incredible cheese and leek pork sausage rolls too and they were delicious.

If you're ever in E17 pay them a visit!!

This is when I emerged from my cocoon the other night and ventured out with @steph.hop for a bloody lovely evening at @cratebrewery

I knew I'd be wrapped up in layers but wanted to take my @locketdownjewellery earrings out for a spin. I love them so much.

We went to @thebargehouse for this for  my birthday a few years ago and I've been meaning to return so I was over the moon for this surprise this morning.

I bloody love halloumi. This halloumi flatbread wi I bloody love halloumi. This halloumi flatbread with tahini sauce was delicious. 

I'm slowly stepping away from the wintery soups and stews and towards the more summery flatbreads and salads. Although I'm not 100% happy to step away entirely just yet!!

Quick and easy but super tasty. Nasi Goreng for Quick and easy but super tasty. 

Nasi Goreng for dinner (with extra sriracha for me!) So tasty and feels pretty healthy because of all the lovely kale. 

Give me some more quick and tasty dinner ideas please?!

👀 I always feel like somebody's watching me 👀

I went for a walk the other day and when I stopped at @everythingbutthedog.eu for a coffee I looked up and saw the goodest boi watching me. There were two of them up there but the other one ran off just as I got my camera out. 

I love little surprises that make me smile.  What unexpected thing has made you smile today?

I bought this card ages ago from @dorkface and nearly couldn't find it this morning to give to Tom.

Gilmore Girls is almost like a religion in our house IYKYK.

I bloody love Ben's Cookies and when I worked in Euston we used to go for a walk to pick one up in the afternoon.

This bumper box arrived on my doorstep and I couldn't have been happier. I can't wait to get cracking on with them. 

Thank you @steph.hop

my favourite chocolate orange is in there but there's some I haven't tried too. What's your favourite flavour?!

Got to drink a cuppa or two! ☕ Apart from my cr Got to drink a cuppa or two! ☕

Apart from my crazy love of cheese, the fact the I couldn't find a dairy alternative that I liked in my tea was a huge stumbling block in going plant based. 

I love oat and nut milks in my coffee but everything was just way too sweet to go in my tea. 

I spotted this @alpro my cuppa when I did my last shop and I liked it so much I've bought it again. It is a bit thicker than diary milk and it tastes sort of creamier but I like it. I just wish it came in a bigger carton.

It was only when I produced this for breakfast this morning that I realised none of my trips to @dishoom were with @heroesdieold ! 🙈 I've promised him we can go when lockdown lifts. 

I (obviously) swerved the coriander but, my word, it was delicious. I'm honestly a bit sad I had to share with Tom because I definitely could have eaten both of them!

I was fully influenced by @shoegolf and @liljoeymac so thanks for that!!!

Slam Dunk South 2018, Hatfield

21/06/2018      Leave a Comment

I have to admit, Slam Dunk is one of the highlights of the musical calendar for me. Lots of my favourite bands and lots of my friends all in one place for a whole day. I mean, what more can you ask for really?

Me at slam dunk

For more years than I’d like to remember I’ve been heading out to Leeds for day one of the May Bank Holiday Weekend extravaganza. Yep, even while I’ve been living in London I’ve been trekking up north for this. If you’re interested in my past adventures at Slam Dunk, you can see what I thought of 2014 and 2015. This year, however, this year was different. This year Steph and I decided to brave the wilds of Hatfield House. The brand new home of Slam Dunk South.

Roam at Slam Dunk

I’m a fan of the move to the park. Although I’ve always enjoyed the university campus/city centre surroundings for Slam Dunk before it’s new park based home made it feel more like a festival. If that even makes sense?! After a bit of a wander around to get our bearings we decided to head to the Monster Energy Stage to see The Dangerous Summer.  They were as wonderful as I expected them to be and a great way to start our day.

It was such a nice day weather-wise. I was a bit nervous that it would be cold and rainy. The forecast didn’t look good but it was proved wrong. Apart from about half an hour in the evening when it tried to rain but didn’t quite succeed in becoming the downpour it wanted to be.

My major highlights of the day were Taking Back Sunday and Jimmy Eat World. Sometimes, I think I forget how much I love these two bands. Then I see them live and fall in love all over again. Nature actually put on a particularly spectacular light show for us in the shape of some crazy lightning. It felt kind of surreal, listening to Jimmy Eat World and watching these bright orange flashes and streaks across the sky.

Sadly, there were lots of train issues that day. So we decided to leave a little early to make sure we actually made it back to London and didn’t end up with a huge taxi bill. It did mean missing a bit of Jimmy Eat World’s set *sad face* but we did manage to catch some of Good Charlotte so every cloud, eh? They were headlining the Jagermeister stage which was the closest to the exit.

I did manage to speak to a couple of bands while I was there but I still need to edit those videos. I had a chat with the two Alex’s from Roam, Brian from PVRIS and Max from Say Anything. If you’re interested in seeing those, keep an eye on my (neglected) YouTube channel. They should be up soon!

Apart from the crazy travel issues and the fact there was no signal in the park, so I missed out on meeting a few of my friends, I had a brilliant time. This festival will always hold a piece of my heart.

Slam Dunk every summer, forever!
