Ahh... amusement arcades, ice creams on the beach, and sand everywhere... what could be better than an Easter break in good old Skeggy? Yes, admittedly, Skegness does not have the classiest of reputations yet my boyfriend and I enjoyed a short Easter break in the tiny village of Anderby near Skegness (it has a population …
Easter Nest Cakes
It's the day before Easter and all through the house chocolate peeks out from every corner... I couldn't resist reverting to my inner child and baking (really just mixing) these delicious mini egg and marshmallow rice krispie cakes. This recipe is a bit of a twist as I also baked white chocolate nests as well …
The Taff Trail
Since I'm currently drowning in university work in my last term it was nice to get out of the city for a day. Eagerly dragging my flatmate along in the sunny weather, our walk along the Taff Trail turned out to be the perfect day break! The Taff Trail extends all the way from Cardiff …
My week at the BBC…
After completing a weeks work experience at BBC Cymru Wales it's safe to say that I never knew just how much I could learn in a short amount of time. The experience very much veered away from the tea making stereotype of work experience and instead I met a fantastic team of people. I was …
Creative Hubs in the City!

I'm not entirely sure what drew me to go and watch a film based upon a video game released in 2007 but I vaguely remember an 11-year old me watching my brother play the game with a certain fascination... ** …
Stoke Rochford Hall
Alongside juggling university work and job applications this Christmas break, my boyfriend and I managed to escape to the country for a few days, to a beautiful part of Lincolnshire at Stoke Rochford Hall. The hotel is a Victorian building set within 28 acres of parkland to explore. The hotel's interior is magnificent with roaring …
Fantastic Beasts Hunt!
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on opening night was just as magical as anticipated. The film is set seventy years before Harry Potter’s arrival at Hogwarts and follows the exciting story of Newt Scamander when his magical creatures are loose in New York, 1926. The film was produced by the legendary David Heyman …
Twin Lakes “Xtreme Scream Park”
It was a dark night, the night before Halloween. As we stood in the crisp autumnal air, I pulled my scarf tighter around myself for warmth and probably reassurance. Fresh screams permeated the air and ghostly cackles chilled our bones… Getting into the spirit of Halloween, my boyfriend and I decided to visit the “Xtreme …
“The Wondercrump World of Roald Dahl…”
Disheartened by the fact that I missed Cardiff's "City of The Unexpected" in September, I decided to drag my boyfriend along to the Millennium Centre's magical exhibition for a peek at the interactive journey. Granted, we were the youngest people there without children, but this didn't stop us from joining in with the spirit of …
