FREE AND CHEAP THINGS TO DO IN AND AROUND STAFFORDSHIRE THIS EASTER HALF TERM

 If you are anything like me having a few plans sorted for the Easter holidays just makes everything run a little smoother. Two whole weeks is a long time to fill, and although I am all for a chilled movie afternoon on the sofa or a bit of a crafting session at the kitchen table, it’s nice to get out and about too, especially when it doesn’t cost a fortune.

FEELING GREEN FINGERED | BUDGET FRIENDLY GARDEN IDEAS FOR SPRING

The sun is shining today, and it really does feel like spring is finally on its way. I love being outside – it’s so grounding, and being outdoors in the sunshine always puts such a smile on my face. It completely changes my mood, I've even picked up some ice today, iced coffees here I come! :)

STARTING DAD'S GARDEN

The sun has been coming out now and again over the past few weeks, and I keep catching myself looking out at the garden thinking, where do I even start?. It’s definitely been neglected since last summer. The pool is still up, yes, with the muckiest water in it and I know I should probably sort it, but honestly, the weather hasn’t exactly been inviting me outside, winter has been SO long!.

A NEW CAMERA, UNIVERSITY, AND THE BIG 4-0

The last few months with work have been quite manic, but in the best possible way. I absolutely love growing my business, and I’m always looking for ways to improve myself, learn new things, and become better at what I do.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SKI VILLAGES IN THE ALPS

 In the Alps, you live inside a landscape shaped by centuries of mountain life. When you choose the right village, you wake to Matterhorn silhouettes, share tables with locals who have farmed the same slopes for generations, and step straight from cobbled lanes to pristine pistes

MAKING MEMORIES WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK THIS HALF TERM

The funk I have been feeling lately is next level. I’m not sure if it’s the “glorious” UK weather, total sarcasm there, or if I am just in one of those moods, but I have been determined to make sure this half term doesn’t go to waste. It really doesn’t have to be expensive either. We have had such lovely days out that haven’t cost a penny.
