To celebrate my 29th birthday, I extended my birthday celebrations into a whole week, not sure how I will top it next year. We spent three days in Newquay Cornwall having a little break. We stayed at Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa, which was lovely, we decided to upgrade to a sea view room and it did not disappoint. If you happen to be in Newquay and looking for somewhere to stay I would definitely recommend this hotel, especially as the spa facilities are an added bonus at hotel in such a great location. It really is worth the extra for a sea view! With my list at the ready and a trip to Fistral beach in progress it......

Last Sunday I turned 29. Normally age does not matter to me but for some reason turning 29 did. If I am honest I had thought it about it so much that I spent most of being 28 thinking I was 29, my issue being the dread of turning the big 3-0! I am quite aware that I have spent a lot of my twenties being sensible, buying houses, working hard (working multiple jobs for most of it) and I don’t want to hit my thirties and think there was stuff I should of done in “my youth”.

In its seventh year Sunshine Festival dubs itself the festival “for every generation” hosting a range of performers. As ever it boasted an enviable line up to suit all ages across a number of stages including several tribute bands, I had a great time rocking out to Counterfeit Quo with my dad. Weather on the......

After reopening early last year after a lengthy refurbishment I have been keen to visit The Jockey and it didn’t disappoint. The Jockey closed several years ago and since lay empty until the current owners spent three years renovating the place, into a trendy, relaxed destination pub. A few months ago we decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner out, it was a Saturday night and it was all a bit last minute so I called round all the local places where I enjoy to find they were fully booked before my mum suggested I try The Jockey, By this point I had half given up on the idea of eating out but I was advised that the......

Tonight I headed back to the gym for the first time in nearly 12months and oh my wasn’t it hard work. I have always enjoyed going to the gym but I am not gym crazy. I struggle to get the motivation to stick to a regular gym routine so I have made a promise to myself as my other half works away a lot, that on any evenings when he is away I will head to the gym. What makes going to the gym even harder now we have moved is that if I am heading there after work I have to drive past my house to get there so I figured if I commit to going when the......
