🍹 Cheers to the most amazing collaboration ever L***y Glaze and Drink Nicholson

✨On Friday to celebrate the launch of the new Nicholson bar at L***y Glaze I was invited to try out the cocktails that will be available.

🍋 With so many cocktails on offer, there’s a cocktail to suit everyone’s taste. Plus, the bar is set in the most gorgeous location. You’ll want to sit there all evening sipping away on cocktails.

🎷 I can’t wait to be drinking more cocktails on Tuesday, at L***y Glaze Ibiza Classics featuring Symphonica Orchestra and deluxx . Who is coming?

It’s not often I go out out but when Claytons & The Glasshouse has sent an invite who am I to say no 💁🏽‍♀️

Still feeling the energy from The Terrace Sessions opening party last night - what a night! Such a brilliant vibe all around. 🪩 💃

A massive shout out to 📢

If you ever doubt your ability to achieve your goals, just think about this amazing woman who is walking a marathon day for 276 days. 🙌🏽

I have so much love and admiration for this beautiful soul. This incredible woman is walking around the entire coastline of Britain on foot. It’s in aid of Mind and National Trails Linzi will also achieve a world record!🫶🏾

Yesterday I joined Linzi (excuse the less glamourous look) and we shared so many laughs and stories. If you’ve got no plans tomorrow or fancy a walk why not join Linzi? Linzi will be doing the Saunton to Combe Martin leg tomorrow. 🗺️

You can follow Linzi’s journey on the following account👇🏼

Why settle for anything less than the best when it comes to dining out! 👊🏽

Small businesses are the backbone in of our economy, and I am proud to support them whenever I can. Roots is one of those businesses that has my full support. 🫶🏾

I love Roots because Roots have truly mastered the art of creating delicious, healthy meals from scratch. Their commitment to using quality ingredients is unmatched, and it shows in every dish they serve. 🌱

🌯 The Baked enchiladas are so delicious, they set the bar high for all future enchilada creations! They had the ideal spice level and the melt-in-your-mouth wraps is something I’ll never forget.

The enchilada game was definitely stepped up with these enchiladas because instead of chips on the side the plate was packed full of coleslaw, guacamole, fresh salad, and salsa. This made a change from having a plate filled with chips. 👌🏼

🌱 Baked enchiladas £14.50

😋 Roots is your go-to spot for wholesome veggie and vegan meals in Braunton and Barnstaple. Whether you’re craving a hearty breakfast or a satisfying main dish, their menu has something for every appetite.

❗️ PLEASE NOTE: Please check with each branch for opening times and menu.

As primary school allocations are revealed in Devon today, it’s a reminder of how resilient our children have been amidst the challenges of the past few years.

From lockdown babies to soon-to-be school starters, our children are growing up before our eyes. It’s hard to believe that this time 4 years ago we were in lockdown. I used to cry most days worrying whether life would be the same for him again or whether he’d get the same opportunities his sister got to have.

Now our Covid babies will be starting school in September. Yes that very lot of kids who were born into a world where they couldn’t socialise with anyone other than their own parents and siblings are now starting school.

To the Covid babies stepping into classrooms in September we believe in you! And to the parents who never imagined this moment, sending virtual hugs. It’s a mix of emotions today.

Wow stop growing up so quickly baby boy!

Tell me it’s Easter, without telling me it’s Easter!

Is it even Easter if you don’t have a weekend filled with egg hunts? Easter is another time of year I love because it means quality time with the children making memories.

I’ve just been to Castle Hill in Filleigh to do their Easter bunny trail and now I’m in the mood to spend my weekend eating my body weight in chocolate (vegan chocolate of course).

What Easter plans have you got?

Castle Hill Estate reel pending!

Yes, I’m that person who takes snack breaks at the most picturesque spots in North Devon. No regrets when my crisps taste this good and the view is even better!

Well truth be told I bottled eating the crisps because there were too many seagulls and why would I want them stealing these glorious Devon made crisps? So I saved them for the car afterwards and they definitely filled a void after a lovely, hilly walk.

Where’s this to then? Can anyone guess where I was? Comment below! 👀

Here’s to take 2 of eating Burts Chips in one of my favourite spots in Devon. I wonder where I will go?

In the wise words of Zippy the Donkey: patience is not only a virtue, but a key to success. So instead of losing it, let’s choose to approach this week with understanding and determination. 🌈 ✨

I am so grateful for the opportunity to connect with Zippy and the other incredible animals at the weekend. Including ex Scarborough Beach Donkeys and ex Dartmoor Ponies.

This weekend, I also had the pleasure of meeting Kate, the lady who is dedicated to the happiness of these beautiful creatures. Kate told me how the Donkey’s and Ponies had taught her all about patience.

Her talk about patience has resonated with me on such a deep level. It’s like with anything in life if you have the patience to keep on trying you will eventually get to where you want to be!

So if there’s only one thing you choose to do this week, than let it be you choose to be patient and you will find life becomes easier!

I can’t wait to tell you all about my time at the Haye Cornwall but in the meantime use this Monday to be inspired!

Weekends are for exploring, and what’s better than getting to do it for free? 🙌🏽

Yesterday, I enjoyed free entry with my EX postcode at Arlington Court. Arlington Court is around a 15 minute drive from Barnstaple and is only a short drive from Exmoor.

Arlington Court is definitely worth a visit and there’s something for all ages. There’s plenty of grounds for the kiddies to run around in and explore. For those who have a real interest in history there’s plenty to see and activities to take part in.

I was pressed for time so I decided to have a look in the gorgeous house that dates as far back as the Victorian times. I’ve never seen inside the house before and I was definitely glad that I chose to see this over everything else. The house is absolutely stunning inside and will be the highlight of your visit.

There is also the incredible carriage museum at Arlington, which is definitely worth the visit too.

Today is the last day of the FREE ENTRY for locals. So make sure you take some ID to prove you live in an EX postcode. Even if you aren’t able to visit today put it on your list to visit this summer.

March 1st has arrived, which can only mean one thing...it’s officially MY birthday month! 🎂

Age is just a number! What truly matters is how we choose to celebrate each year we are given. Let’s embrace our birthdays as a reminder to cherish every moment and appreciate all that life has to offer.

Feeling truly blessed for the opportunities coming my way in March. Sharing my birthday with International Woman’s Day and having some exciting PR’s and amazing products to promote is beyond exciting. I cannot wait to share it with you all.

So who else has a birthday month or is just me?

On National Love Your Pet Day, my furry companion’s deserve a shoutout for their endless cuddles and unwavering loyalty! 🐾

Beyond their cute faces and wagging tails, pets give us so much more. Both my pets bring endless joys into my life, but my Pug in particular also inspires me to explore new walks in Devon and Cornwall.

Why not discover the paw-some paradise of Devon and Cornwall! Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this region offers a haven for pets with endless opportunities for outdoor fun and pet-friendly accommodations.

Do you love to bring your pet on holiday?🐕 🐰
