Protecting your mental health in these surreal pandemic filled days can seem like an uphill battle. For the past nine months you have been socially distant, feeling isolated, worried about the stability of your job, and concerned about the health of your family. You might have even had to work from home?! Trying to remain confident, happy, and positive is difficult. However, it is not impossible.

This blog isn't really about the "home" life and what goes on here. We're far from an interior decorating couple and we're more "we like this" type couple. Perhaps not everyone would like it. Perhaps they might. Who knows?! However now we moved into our new home in August we've been manically painting! We did 5 rooms before we moved in as we had a nice overlap between our rental place and this place. Since then though I've not really had the energy to pick up a paint brush. However the one room "left" was the spare bedroom. With a week off work to use up (as our plans for 2020 have gone down the COVID drain) I decided that it was time to do get the bedroom make over…
It's definitely getting colder, sadly the shorts and t-shirts have gone away for another year. The jumpers are certainly back out! I've been thinking about a new winter coat for a while. On our trip back from our stay at the Hotel Indigo Bath we stopped at Ted Baker Bicester village it provided a great opportunity to get a coat, at a great price. I've been eyeing up and trying on a number of Ted Baker coats every time I been in the store. If you read my posts on here you'll know what a Ted Baker fan I am and I really loved some of the styling of the Ted Baker Winter Coats that they had on offer. Of all the ones in store this was my favourite. Classic…
I love a good Indigo Hotel! Of all the reviews you'll find on this site - the Indigo brand is one of my favourites. So when the team at Hotel Indigo Bath asked me to do a review for them of their newly opened hotel I was more than willing! The Indigo hotel chain which is part of the IHG group of hotels is their more boutique brand. Not so much copy and paste like you might find in a Holiday Inn. More the type which plays on local history, the local styling etc... Earlier in 2020 I stayed at Hotel Indigo Stratford and this was an excellent example. Lots of theatrical references, playing on the Shakespeare name etc... I couldn't therefore wait to get to Bath and see what…
2020 has been a bad year for travel. If you had a getaway booked at the start of the year, there’s a good chance that it got cancelled, or your government advised you against going. How do you go about though making Travel Feasible During the Pandemic? Those of us with a little wanderlust, sense of adventure or urge to take a break have probably feeling a little lost right now. Sure, you may not be able to jet off around the world as and when you please like you might have at the beginning of the year. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t have a break from your usual routine of work, childcare and other responsibilities. There are ways to take a break still. You just have to…
