I was looking in the English Heritage book as I usually do before we are heading up to a new place and I saw that the Wellington Arch can be visited. I never imagined it was possible and I really wanted to see it. The Arch was built in 1820s and it was moved to […]
I’ve been wearing handmade jewellery by Acdria for years. With November approaching, I teamed up with them for a special giveaway for Remembrance Day. My readers can win this lovely set of poppy jewellery. For a month they have a fundraising campaign on their website: 10% of the proceedings from the poppy range will be […]
For most of us, life can be as exciting or as horrible as we are making it to be. I’m frustrated and annoyed by things that I cannot change and by the fact that I’m letting myself get annoyed. I have worries about the future like everybody else, but I WANT to be happy and […]
I heard so many times about Covent Garden and on my last trip to London I penciled it in my schedule. When I arrived it was afternoon and the shops were open, the restaurants were busy and a band was singing. It was fun and colourful, I enjoyed it a lot. There are a few […]
I love Halloween! Before moving to the UK I didn’t know much about it and I had no idea in UK Halloween is an important celebration.

Yesterday was the last episode of The Great British Bake Off. Nadiya won in a very emotional final. Mary Berry had tears in her eyes when she talked about Nadiya and I must admit I was a little emotional too. Their show-stoppers were amazing, Ian made a carrot cake (like I did) but I don’t […]
When I was wondering what should I organize for our anniversary, I received an invitation from Tune Hotels to stay in their new hotel in Liverpool. My first thought was “this is so exciting” because I live in Liverpool, at only 20 minutes by car from the hotel. I told hubby we are going to […]
For our 13th anniversary we’ve decided to go to Blackpool as there was a fireworks display for the Fireworks Championship and also there are the Illuminations. The amount of lights and decorations are impressive. The first lights in Blackpool were 8 arc lamps on the Promenade in 1879 and they were described as artificial sunshine. […]
On 1st October I’ve been invited to Made .com launch at Metquarter, their third showroom after Soho London and Leeds. The UK brand is an online retailer of designer furniture and home accessories founded in 2010. With demand on the rise in North West, they opened a new 4000sq ft. showroom in Liverpool. I was […]
I can’t believe it’s been such a long time, but 13 years ago I met hubby in a train. I wrote the story last year. From a quick look in my archive I realized that I don’t blog about our anniversaries; I must find them too personal to share. Last night we’ve been to an […]
