Living for the little things
Review: The Thames Head Inn - near Cirencester 🍽
A quaint little pub that’s dog-friendly and has a cosy atmosphere. Not the best for those with babies or small toddlers/children, though.
Review: The Met - Whiteladies Road, Bristol 🍽
An up-market restaurant featuring Asian fusion dishes and a great brunch menu - a fab spot to take you from day to night drinks with friends.
Review: Burra - Redland, Bristol 🍽
If you’re looking for a good brunch spot, look no further. It’s a small, yet beautifully formed cafe just off of Whiteladies Road near Clifton. Expect a little wait, but the food and friendly staff make it worth it.
Review: Untamed 📚
Having been inundated with rave reviews and posts on social media shouting “You need to read this book!”, I was expecting a lot more of it. It’s worth a read, but was a bit of a slog to get through. That said, there were a few gems in there.
Review: The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho 📚
A delightful book based on the real-life of Charles Ignatius Sancho, the first black person to vote in England. It’s a vibrant tale that weaves fact with fiction, breathing life into this interesting man. A perfect Christmas gift for any reader, but particularly fans of historic and period fiction.
Giving birth when you have a chronic illness
When I first fell pregnant, I searched hard for other people’s experiences of going through labour and birth with a disability or chronic illness to no/little avail. I wanted to share a bit about my experience with the thought that it might be useful to someone out there!
Review: Cowbee, Bristol 🍽
Cowbee is a dessert and burger spot in the centre of town, right near College Green. Although it was really tasty the first time we ventured there, on second visit, it was in need of some improvements.
Review: Mokoko, Box Makers Yard, Bristol 🧁
This new Mokoko cafe is the latest in the chain’s stores to open and is a great addition to the Temple Quay area. With a nice atmosphere and delicious pastries, it’s a brilliant spot to meet friends or do a bit of work.
Navigating pregnancy with a chronic illness
When I first fell pregnant, I searched hard for other people’s experiences of trying to navigate pregnancy with a disability or chronic illness to no/little avail. I wanted to share a bit about my experience with the thought that it might be useful to someone out there!
