More and more people are using mobile phones to capture their everyday life, and a lot of people are snooty about it. Pictures taken on your phone can’t be considered proper, serious photography – or can it? Sometimes it’s just not feasible to whip out your slr camera when you’re rushing to work or uni. … Continue reading

Daft Punk, pure funk.
Daft Punk are back, and my, my am I excited. Today I heard ‘Get Lucky’, the first song released from their new album Random Access Memories (due to be released in the UK on 20th May). It’s a song packed full of beautifully funky sounds, vocals from N.E.R.D’s Pharrell Williams and guitar from disco legend, … Continue reading
Lemon Syllabub (with mini lemon biscuits)
So here’s another tasty desert recipe, and once again it is ridiculously easy, ridiculously tasty and probably horrifically calorific – the best kind. Lemon syllabub is a lovely creamy desert, which can be made in a matter of minutes. Ingredients for the syllabub: 150g whipping cream 150g Greek yogurt 50g Caster sugar 50ml White wine … Continue reading
Liebster Award – Passing on the virtual love
Recently, I was nominated by a fellow blogger (afotitos, thank you very much!) for a Liebster Award (from the German verb for love, I assume). It’s not a traditional award with a panel of judges or official nominations or anything like that, but it’s just a way of one blogger telling another blogger that they … Continue reading
Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Tarts
I can’t think of anything that’s easier to cook than these tarts (possibly beans on toast, but that doesn’t look as fancy). They’re something nice to cook if friends are coming over for dinner, but are so quick and easy (and cheap!) that you won’t be left slaving away in the kitchen. Ingredients: Puff pastry … Continue reading
Chocolate Cola Cake
Chocolate cola cake – sounds a little strange doesn’t it? But I’ve used this recipe a few times now and it works a treat (originally from James Martin – Desserts, which I actually strangely found discarded on a pavement years ago). The cake doesn’t actually taste like cola, but the addition of the cola makes … Continue reading
Festival Dilemmas
Did you get your Glastonbury ticket this year? No? Me neither. I tried before the line up was released and it just wasn’t to be. However, after seeing the line up, I have to say I’m not that gutted. I’ve been twice before, and it is one of my favourite places ever, but as a … Continue reading
Lots of Lochs
About an hours drive from the city of Glasgow are some of the most picturesque views I have ever seen. We were so lucky with the weather and it was a beautiful, crisp sunny day – perfect for some great photos and a lovely walk. We drove to Loch Lomond, Loch Long and Loch Fyne … Continue reading
Glaswegian Skyline
I absolutely adore London, as some of you may know, but it’s also great to escape and explore another great city. Last weekend I had the pleasure of exploring Glasgow, which I haven’t visited since I was about 6 years old, and it was much more memorable this time around! With so much to see, do, … Continue reading
Warpaint UK Tour: October 2013
I’m terribly excited as one of my favourite bands, Warpaint have just announced a few UK tour dates for late on this year. The Californian four-piece have only released one album (The Fool), which soon after hearing became a quick favourite of mine. Although made up of four women, they are not a girly-girly pop … Continue reading
