There are many fantastic ways to travel and this weekend for my third anniversary with my partner we decided to take a mini-break and our chosen method of transportation was a cruise on board P&O's Oceana. Oceana is described as a family-friendly, mid-sized ship and has a great choice of cabins to choose from. The price we paid included two nights full board on the ship with £60 onboard credit and a balcony cabin. Whilst I was trying to research the Oceana as well as get an ... Read more

How To Make Fairy Dough
Kids are pretty hard to entertain all the time and so I find I am always looking for something for us to do at home.

A scroll through Facebook brought me to this wonderful blog Laughing Kids Learn with this page in particular...a recipe for fairy dough using only three ingredients.

Thai Style Coconut Soup
One of my favourite places to eat in my hometown of Andover is Siam Orchid which is a tiny hidden gem of a Thai Resturant. The food they make is fresh, tasty, vibrant and delicious.

The courses include starters, shredded duck, soup ... Read more
“Are you afraid of God?…No! But I am afraid of you!” – BioShock Infinite Review.

![Do you ever start books and then just don’t finish them...Not actively DNF’ing because you enjoy them but then something else comes along and before you know it the book is firmly back on the shelf and you haven’t picked it up for months?
I have a lot like this from last summer where I got like ten chapters in then just hit a slump or fancied a change or switched formats...
Thorn is one such read for me. It was part of a book club read and I started off so well but then just...stopped. I’d love to finish it soon!
