Goldenhand Book Review

October 26, 2016

Goldenhand by Garth Nix - 4th Book in The Abhorsen Series Are there any books you read as a teenager that you would love to have just one more book to read in the series?

Other books I've read include Sabriel, Lireal, Abhorsen, Clariel and Across the Wall so I was thrilled to receive my copy of Goldenhand.

I’m a Fluxter and Proud – #OwnTheFlow

October 19, 2016

A few weeks ago I began a collaboration with Flux, a UK based period subscription box and have just recently had my box come through the post! I have to say I am really impressed. Each box starts from £3.50, comes once a month and is in discreet, perfect letterbox fit packaging.

Visiting Alesund, Norway

September 19, 2016

Alesund was the second port we visited on our cruise on the Azura around Norway last month. Alesund is a really pretty town with lots of lovely little shops in the centre and a natural canal running through. It's full of quaint storefronts and fishing boats and the town is made up over several islands. We had a lovely time exploring and took advantage of a full day in port by using the Hop On Hop Off bus. The bus took you to several places across the islands and took just over ... Read more
