“Happy Birthday!” Jamie walks towards us grinning, welcoming us into the restaurant where we had our wedding breakfast last year and where we’re eating with friends before my 30th birthday party begins later this evening. Or so we had thought. Aaron walks ahead of me, tension hanging between us, everything still feeling rather raw. I […]
“You don’t even like football, do you?” I was showing off my new England shirt and explaining that I’d written my company’s group comms last week to encourage my colleagues to get behind the Euros tournament when he said this. Look, he’s not wrong. Well, I like football, I guess. Do I understand the offside rule? No, […]
I’m hungover. It’s a particularly bad one and I’m a runner. These two things are related, I promise. I’ve decided I’m going to start training for my next marathon. Sorry, this is all coming out in the wrong order. It must be the remnants of rum still coursing through my body getting me all jumbled. […]
Aaron and I spent the last two weeks honeymooning at a resort that we found all too easy to compare to the titular hotel in HBO’s The White Lotus. Most mornings we enjoyed a ginger shot alongside our daily smoothie and a tropical fruit bowl side dish with breakfast that was to die for (I […]
Hello everybody… Looking around, we’ve very intentionally planned a day where we get to spend the afternoon with our best mates. And because of this, this room is really genuinely full of our absolute nearest and dearests, whether you’re family, friends from school or uni or people from work that are now more friends than […]
“I didn’t get it from Vinted!” Aaron exclaims, mere moments after sliding my newest piece of jewellery onto the fourth finger of my left hand. “I didn’t think you did,” I reassure him, “Or I didn’t until you just said that.” The sun has officially set on day five of our holiday in Santorini and […]
Courtney: Hi everyone! For those of you who don’t know us, we’re Sarah’s Maid of Honours. I’m Courtney – Kat: And I’m Kat! Except these aren’t the names we go by as a trio on a day-to-day basis. We have a group chat between the three of us that we, without fail, communicate on every […]
If you know a runner, you may find that they take their Strava uploads extremely seriously. We know we shouldn’t. We might pretend that we don’t. We know that it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. But, deep down, we believe that it does. Before our feet have even come to a halt, […]
A satisfied smile spreads across my face as I mentally pat ourselves on the back for finding a quaint – “authentic even”, I confirm smugly to my mum – Portuguese restaurant. A restaurant with small brown tables, mismatching wine glasses and brightly coloured ornaments, placed charmingly on slightly wonky shelves. Guests talk excitedly over big […]
25th December 2021, approximately 08:30 “It doesn’t matter; at least we’ve learned something,” Jordan consoles me, smiling, unwavered. “All we’ve learned is that we can’t make hollandaise sauce,” I mutter, feeling helpless at the sight of two empty gold foil wrappers and countless egg shells that have amounted to absolutely nothing; one jug, one bowl […]
