ADVENTURES
Self Care
If in doubt, head for the beach.
The Lanterns At Chester Zoo
Finding magic in the inbetween
Chatsworth House
After the Amsterdam experience, I finally got the message that travel is not my passion. Being a semi-sensible human I cancelled trips booked to Vienna, Barcelona and Venice. I still wanted to do something as a break from the routine was required. A change of scenery...
Adventures In Lumpy Land
Some travel guides will give the cultural highlights, some will tell you the hottest places to see and be seen, others tell you how to live like a local. There'll be none of that on the Fizzy. The beloved and I went to Amsterdam for a whirlwind 48 hours....
Death To The Shoulds
The beloved and have just got back from a mini break in Amsterdam. It was great to have time together but from the moment we got that one thing became really clear: I do not travel well. I wrote about that here but really it is not my forte. I got myself...
Around The World In 80 Cakes
My friend Roger has just got back from Nepal. Apparently, there's a mountain that everyone thinks is pretty impressive. He told me that I should go. The place, the people, the atmosphere, the big hill are all things that you must experience. I love...
Amsterdam
It's my beloved husband's birthday today. We decided a while ago that we don't want things but adventures together. These adventures can be tiny, like a new dog walk, or big, where we need to get on a plane. His birthday adventure is a trip to Amsterdam. I...

Jimmy Malone James is eight months old and in need of chums. He loves being with other dogs but he's an overexcited puppy and a little too much for some owners and their mutts. On a walk he wants to play with everyone. He does not understand that some...
Ladies That Lunch
This was supposed to be a review of a new restaurant that looks beautiful and everyone was talking about because of some heavy duty marketing but I went and the experience was the opposite of fizzy. Slightly upsetting as I am relying on Nora Ephron's famous quote that...
Accidentally In Devon
This is a story of baby brain, holidays and the most positive attitude ever. My mate Steph is the most positive person ever. Not in the extremely punchable "everything happens for a reason" fake zen way but in the "deal with it, laugh about it and have a...
International Festival Gardens
Some places have a really calming effect on you. Where I live in Liverpool we have lots of green space and it's great for dog walking. Before we had the dog there was one space that I loved more than any other. The International Festival Gardens is a five...
Lush Spa
I am in the middle of battling my messy brain. It's not a battle of wits, it's a bloody cat fight and my messy brain has been winning. This cannot continue because living in a constant fog with a clawing feeling in your chest isn't sustainable. As part of the...
