I joined the thousands of other commuters who travel to London Friday morning for a meeting and event in the afternoon. I’ll admit I’ve not commuted in over 6 years, which seems almost insane thinking about it. But with a meeting at 10am in Highbury, I needed to get the 8.01am train from Ramsgate to…

Little Ships, Ramsgate Breakfast Review
Last month I met up with my friend Jo and we went to the Little Ships cafe and restaurant on the Harbour front in Ramsgate. I’m not sure why I’ve not been there before but when I finally did, I can see why people have been raving about it. It’s like a well known fact…
Review: Dreamland’s Baby Sensory’s 10 Year Celebration
Last week, Emily, Clare, her two children and myself went to Dreamland in Margate. As part of Dreamland’s half term entertainment, Dreamland Margate was celebrating with Baby Sensory Thanet for a special 10 year anniversary event. The event aimed at babies and toddlers, had a host of fun free activities for all the family. With…
Let that be a lesson!
Last weekend, I madly posted a blog post about how happy I was that our journey from Ramsgate to Bristol was a breeze. Out of all of the journeys that we had to and from Ramsgate and Bristol, for that trip on that Saturday in all it’s gorgeous glorious sunshine was the best travel day…
Our weekend in Kingston
A few months ago, we travelled to London to visit my mum for Mother’s Day. But the weekend was a little all over the place, which meant the actual Mother’s Day wasn’t spent with my mum, but it was spent with my little family which was lovely. So here’s the thing, with Mother’s Day approaching,…
Afternoon Tea at The Grosvenor
A few weeks ago, I had afternoon tea at The Grosvenor on Park Lane and it was fabulous. Thanks to a very lovely client of mine, my birthday present last year was a Bottomless Champagne Afternoon Tea for two and after months of trying to organise a date that worked for all of us, Sunday…
We’re going to London for Easter
Emily and I are up in London for Easter this year. It’s my mums 60th and fingers crossed the weather will be nice for us to all enjoy our time meeting friends and family. It’s a weird one this year for so many different reasons. It’s our first time spending Easter without Sam. It’s the…
Eating in Kingston with a toddler in the evening
I learnt something about eating in Kingston with a toddler. By day, there are endless opportunities and places to visit, with many dishes on offer for small appetites as well as big. But the one big hurdle, we had it when we visited Kingston a couple of weeks ago, was where we could eat with…
High Speed trains vs slow trains with a toddler
On the few occasions that we travel to London to visit my family, we take the train up. Living in Ramsgate, we luckily have the high speed trains to London’s St Pancras, which at 1 hour and 16 minutes, means little fuss and easy access to London. High speed train services aren’t the only trains…
Trains and sickness – two things that shouldn’t go together
Last Thursday I posted a blog post about how much I hated being sick and the shitty weather. And it seems that, I wasn’t the only one suffering from a bit of sick. On Thursday I needed to travel up to London with Emily, as I was attending a work event for one of my…
Coastal Adventures: Herne Bay
A few weeks ago we went to Herne Bay and the weather was just delightful. During the week that we got some of the hottest days of this year in February. Sam, Emily and I went up to Herne Bay for the day and it was all shades of perfect. The weather was beautiful, there…
Going buggyless
Ok ok, I haven’t completely stopped using the buggy, but on the odd occasion, I don’t bring it out with me. Emily likes to explore, it’s good exercise for her and although I don’t do much without the buggy, it’s good practice for when one day I won’t. On a few occasions, I’ve braved walking…
My mum came to visit in September, it always flies by so quickly!
It’s always nice when family come to visit us down here in Ramsgate. It’s also really nice when my mum comes down too. Mum loves Ramsgate, she’s transfixed by the beauty of the Royal harbour and our magnificent golden sandy beach too. Her and her partner Leon love exploring the various towns and areas around…
Autumn is here and I love it
Now that November is here the mornings and nights are darker, the days colder and the floor littered with leaves, autumn is well and truly here. Amongst it all, the Sky daily has been beautiful. Looking out across the field near our house, we can see the stunning colours filling the sky as the sun…
We ate at Cafe Rouge for my birthday and I still love it 28 years on.
Cafe Rouge is one of my favourite restaurants, ever. As a child my dad used to take my sister and I to the Richmond restaurant where breakfast, lunch or dinner was a favourite time spent there. The smell of freshly roasted coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, baked croissants, sugar cubes in little white bowls, chic…
