Do you wanna build a snowman? ☃️ We finally g Do you wanna build a snowman? ☃️

We finally got some snow today. The girls were so excited to go out and play in it. We even managed to make a little snowman and make sure he stayed safe given the current situation.

Weekends are made for pancakes 🥞 A short stack Weekends are made for pancakes 🥞

A short stack of banana pancakes topped with berry yoghurt, @jackpotpeanutbutter  golden syrup and blueberries.

I love these as a quick and easy breakfast and it's the easiest recipe ever. 

- 1 banana
- 2 eggs 
- 3 heaped spoons of oats. 

Mix them all up and pop them in the pan. Easy! 

What's for breakfast where you are?

Another vegan burger actually, an onion bhaji burger to be precise. 

It was so good but definitely needed more mango chutney. Although, I think there's not much in life that can't be improved with a huge dollop of mango chutney. Amirite?!

Pizza is one of my favourite foods and this one is a good one. Tom made the dough from scratch and I'm not entirely sure he'll be doing that again soon 😆

Not vegan thanks to the mozzarella and goats cheese but absolutely bloody delicious.

Tulips are my favourite and these yellow ones have really made me happy the past few days. 

Don't wait for someone to buy you flowers, buy them yourself and revel in how they make you feel.

Tom outdid himself at the weekend with this vegan stack burger. He added a potato rosti, homemade burger sauce and a slice of @violife_foods It was bloody delicious. 

Were actively trying to cut our meat intake even if we're not fully committed to going completely plant based. 

Little steps right?

This is my favourite chocolate in all the world and it is using all of my willpower to not just inhale all of it immediately. 

Tom got me this little @tonyschocolonely_uk_ire selection for Christmas. I've had it hidden so no one else can have any but I finally allowed myself a bar tonight. Myself, no one else.

What snacks do you refuse to share?

I love a beer, I really miss going out for one. But drinking on school day has had to stop this year. Enter my new favourite weekday beer. @luckysaintbeer is 0.5% and blummin delicious!

Are you a beer fan? Do you have any low alcohol/alcohol free beers to recommend? Or any other recommendations?

Honestly, I reckon I have at least eight a day. I'm not too fussy when it comes to my tea but I do prefer it quite strong (stronger than this photo looks), no sugar and molten hot. Obviously, it's good if it comes with a biscuit or two too.

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!
