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

Uncategorized

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 […]

Brunch for Your Valentine


Kath's Kitchen

(This post is pretty fraudulent as I actually made my boyfriend this very brunch on MY birthday, BUT…) What is better than avo on toast? Avo on toast with bacon. If you feel like treating your partner, your friend or your family on Valentine’s tomorrow, I’ve got the simplest recipe to patronisingly tell you “how […]

How to Revisit a City


Kathventures

Next week I am heading back to my favourite place in the world… Dublin! My boyfriend and I decided to book a last minute, birthday-themed trip to Dublin since we’d both booked a few days off of work. I’ve been waiting to head back for over two years; ever since we stepped off of the […]

A January Book Club


Kath's Bookshelf

After setting myself the challenge to read 52 books this year (despite failing this very challenge last year), I thought I’d, once a month (normally at the end of the month but my blog went kaput for a while there), write up a round up of all of the books I’ve finished. In January I […]

How to Meal Prep & Keep up with it


Kath's Kitchen

Only half a year ago I begun working a Monday to Friday, Dolly Parton 9-5 (my actualy 08:30 to 17:30 hours don’t make such an epic tune). I hung up my waitress’s apron as well as the daily pasta and pizza. As much as I miss just this, I was glad for the change of […]

A Saturday Sausage Casserole


Kath's Kitchen

I spent this morning whipping together three lots of different meals so I don’t need to worry about work lunches for the next week. Or, by the look of my freezer, the next month. One meal I made four portions of was a sausage casserole; it took just over thirty minutes and I tested out […]

Sticking to your Goals in 2019


Unkategorised

While a lot of us make new goals to soften our January 1st hungover, there’s only a real emphasis for us to stick to them in January, rather than for the next eleven months too. Today I headed out with the boyfriend for a Sunday morning walk. One of the three small changes I made […]

How to get Back into Blogging


Unkategorised

When I woke up to the first day of 2019 I knew, alongside my resolutions, I wanted to start populating my blog with my nonsense thoughts again. *Pictures looking like Hilary Duff in The Perfect Man as she re-caps her day with the help of her keyboard.* When I fall out of blogging, much like […]

Why You Should Buy Books from a Charity Shop


Kath's Bookshelf

As much as I’m the kind of reader who aims to finish a book with it looking as close to bookshop-shelf worthy as possible, I totally get why people like books to look as “loved” as possible. (Although I will NEVER understand why people bend their covers back *shudders*.) I love a dip into a […]

Sunday the Sixth


Kathventures

Sunday the sixth of January allowed me a sleep in. When I pulled aside my duvet, shortly followed by my curtain, a sunny morning beckoned me beyond my window. So I showered, pulled on my new favourite jumper and painted my eyes sparkly. I sat my camera on my shoulder and tied up my new […]

Three Small Changes


Kathventures

As a lover of romance fiction (specifically Nicholas Sparks’s, of course), I definitely don’t mind the New Year romanticising some of us bathe in once we’ve said cheers and tidied away our Christmas presents. As a to-do list writer, I like having goals to work towards. For this reason, I am a New Year’s resolutioner […]
