  • With the Jubilee approaching, what better to do than something thoroughly British. I was lucky enough to visit Bake-a-Boo at the weekend – and what a delight it was! The Afternoon Tea was totally scrumptious! We were spoilt with Summer tea, finger sandwiches, scones, cupcakes and brownies *yummy!*. The Cake stand arrived, piled high with treats and what we couldn’t finish we were allowed to take home for later. The staff were just lovely too and it felt like a real treat! The...

  • There are 2 types of people when it comes to packing for a trip/holiday… 1. The Organised Packer Outfits are carefully planned, clothes are folded, shoes are cleaned (and filled with socks to save room), toiletries are categorised and bagged in separate compartments. Items for packing are placed strategically in the case starting with clothes you will need to unpack last. This packer is prepared, methodical, systemicatic *and probably a bit of a control freak* 2.

There are so many different styles of hair accessory that you can really put your own twist on your wedding hairstyle and make it express your...
