Review: Sperrin View Glamping Pods

To celebrate David's birthday this year we spent 2 nights at Sperrin View Glamping Pods in Cookstown! They are super cute glamping pods in the middle of the countryside, in a designated Dark Sky spot of Northern Ireland - perfect for stargazing! The pods are designed with this in mind, with a huge window tilted towards the sky so you can lie in your cosy bed and watch the stars to your hearts content. I wanted to review our stay here as we loved it so much & are already planning when we can go back again!

Recipe: Caramel Squares

Over Covid-19 lockdown and during furloughed life I've been doing a lot of baking - much like everybody else! I was put on the furlough scheme at the start of April, 2 weeks into UK lockdown, and since then I've made a variety of cookies, brownies & cakes...with varying degrees of success! I'll hopefully share the recipes that I used for them all at some point but today I want to share the recipe for Caramel Squares, or Millionaire's Shortbread, whatever you usually call them!

Buying A House As First-Time Buyers - Part 1

Photo by Ali & Laura Photography

Well, hello! It's been an age since I last looked at or posted on my blog, but I'm glad that I've kept it up & running because I want to share about our experience of buying a house as first-time buyers. It has been an experience, to put it lightly!

Starting The Journey // 24-7 Ibiza

I'm sat in Belfast International Airport,

and my flight has been delayed by like, 2 hours.

To the point where, I don't even know what Gate I'm supposed to be at,

and that isn't being announced for another 1hr45mins!

So I figured, what better time to start recording my journey with 24-7 Ibiza.

I have a solid wifi signal, a hot coffee, my laptop is all charged up and I'm settled at a table with a clear view of one of those Flight Update screens that everyone seems to flock around at the airport!

Looking Forward

I have a question for you...

Do you think it's important to have something to look forward to?

 To have something to fix your eyes on, to strive towards, 

to make working long, hard days worth it?

David & I talk about it pretty often, the need to have something there 

that we're looking forward to, to make everyday life worth it,

to make working opposite shifts to each other worth it.

Recipe: Sweet Banana Bread

I'm doing something a little different & random on my blog today...

I'm sharing a recipe!

It's nothing difficult, by any stretch of the imagination,

but it was an experiment for me & it turned out really well, so I thought I would share it with you!
