Weymouth Break
Mr Fixit and I are having a little break in Weymouth. If you’ve read my blog posts, you’re probably aware that Weymouth is one of my favourite places. We couldn’t have picked a better week – the weather is glorious which makes it even lovelier! We arrived yesterday and have already visited Bowleaze Cove, pictured…

World Cup 2026 – England’s first game of the tournament
What a game! Great score too, 4-2 to England against Croatia. I really enjoyed watching the game, it was certainly not dull and probably the best opening game of a major tournament I’ve ever seen England play. Sure, they looked a bit nervy to start but once Kane scored that penalty, the team seemed more…

Newton Leys Kebab Van
One of the best kebabs in Milton Keynes! I’d never had a kebab until I met Mr Fixit who is a kebab connoisseur. Whilst he loves kebabs and would happily eat one most days, I don’t. I happily have one every couple of weeks or so but I couldn’t eat them often. Depending on where…

The weather has been pretty good this weekend, the World Cup is underway and Mr Fixit & I are looking forward to a short break very soon to my beloved Weymouth! Friday evening saw us cooking burgers and sausages in the garden on…

Dear England….
Mr Fixit and I have been watching Dear England, the four part series on BBC1 which follows Gareth Southgate’s time as England manager. The series is based on the play by the same name, which debuted in 2023 and went on to tour the UK. We really enjoyed it, it brought back lots of memories…

Singing

Bargains at Morrisons
Popped into my local Morrisons for some toothpaste during my lunch break today and came out with a few bargains! None of these offers appear to be online unfortunately, but definitely are available in store. 24 rolls of toilet paper for £5.50 can’t be bad – a much better deal than my usual supermarket brand…

Morrison’s BBQ meaty pack
Great value BBQ pack! I picked up one of these when Mr Fixit & I hosted an impromptu little family bbq last Bank holiday weekend – really good value and the sausages were super tasty! The pack consists of 6 burgers, 8 sausages, 4 pork loin steaks & 4 beef sizzle steaks. The weather forecast…

Merlin Bird ID App
A great app to help identify birds! Merlin Bird ID is one of my favourite & most frequently used apps! I discovered it a couple of years ago, after my son who lives in rural Wales (and is lucky to have a wide variety of feathered visitors to his garden) recommended it to me. The…
