The Euros 2025

Uncategorized

“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, […]

26.2 miles again

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. […]

“Another two margaritas, please!”

Uncategorized

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 […]

The wedding speech

Uncategorized

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 […]

Three Films


Unkategorised

I used to spend the majority of my pocket money on DVDs. Nothing thrilled me more than going to ASDA and buying a film I’ve wanted to purchase for forever before it finally was priced at £4. I still own every one of these films and could never ever imagine getting rid of the likes […]

13/52: Ready Player One


Kath's Bookshelf

I have, AT LONG LAST, finished the thirteenth book of this year. I’m attempting to read fifty-two books this year and am documenting it over on my, recently, quiet Goodreads account. I am so grateful to finally have added a book to my online library. Although it took a month to read, I am grateful […]

April Eighteenth


Kathventures

Last Wednesday my mum and I slipped on our tea dresses and headed out into the sun for, essentially, our perfect day. It was the first day of spring that felt like summer; the day that would oversee our afternoon tea at The Ritz, our trip to see The Lion King and our dinner at Flat […]

How to Keep Up with Your Goodreads Challenge


Kath's Bookshelf

Being that I’m four books behind schedule, I’m not sure I’m the right person to be dishing out reading advice. I am, however, giving myself a kick up the rear and getting down to business. For most people that means something way more kickbutt than getting home early from a night out, wrapping a blanket […]

An Ode to the Disorganised


Unkategorised

I’m an organisation freak. Alongside my ability to cross one eye while moving the other (Britain’s Got Talent, eat your heart out), I consider my organisation my most valuable skill. Although I don’t think my family who have to tolerate my sometimes frequent alarms do- I’m working on it, mum; I promise. Once upon a […]

The Ritz Edit


Kathventures

Wednesday hosted the day I’d been dreaming of ever since I first relished in the taste of a warm fruit scone, paired with the richness of clotted cream (which must always be spread first) and, of course, the sweetness of bright red strawberry jam. Yes, my mum and I finally experienced afternoon tea at The Ritz. It […]

My Three Favourite Workout Classes


The Adventures of a Kathlete

As someone who works wacky hours, I struggle to find the time to attend workout classes. As someone who adores workout classes, this can be pretty frustrating. Classes tend to be an energetic, sociable and fun way to exercise. My gym membership is all-inclusive and my favourite way to get my money’s worth is through […]

Three Small Books


Kath's Bookshelf

As I fall behind on my 2018 reading challenge more and more as the seconds tick by (Goodreads is yelling me that I’m two books behind schedule- ouch), I am ignoring my current read to write about three other books I’ve already read. Three small books, to be precise. The kind of books I need […]

Why Straight People Need to See Love, Simon


Unkategorised

As a straight person, it was hard to ignore the niggling thought in my head telling me there was something toxic in the floods of tears that attacked my face throughout seeing the film Love, Simon. I wiped away yet another tear as the credits rolled and I turned to my boyfriend. “Did you like it?” He […]
