Modelling in London’s Borough High Street Market really wasn’t something I thought I’d be doing this week and yet, such is the random life of Kate, that’s exactly what I did on Thursday. And I loved every minute of it. (Once I’d got over the slight awkwardness to start with.) I was approached by […]

A Weekend in London with Travelodge (and Harry Potter)
I love London. With it’s glorious architecture, vibrant personality and diversity. I can’t say I miss commuting up to London every day, but that means that when I do go, it’s always a pleasure (and never a chore!) Last weekend, I was invited to spend the weekend in London as a guest of Travelodge, […]
The Day a Strawberry Tart Tried to Killed Me
Slightly ridiculous blog post title, granted, but the story of ‘How a strawberry tart tried to kill me’ is a story that needs to be told. It’s not, but I’m going to tell it anyway. I had a lovely evening in London yesterday. I went up for a meeting with a potential new […]
Day Trip to London for Teenagers with Southeastern
Since Dexter left his football team a couple of weeks ago (long story), it has really freed up our weekends. My weekend used to consist of taking him to training on Saturday and then transporting him wherever he needed to go for the match on Sunday, which often started at 2pm, which meant the whole […]
Food & Flicks at The Royal Garden Hotel
I have always had 5* lifestyle ambitions, just on a 3* budget! So imagine how excited I was when the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London invited Dexter and I to stay with them a couple of weeks ago to try out the new ‘Flicks & Food’ service. More about exactly what this is […]
Amba Hotel Marble Arch – A Weekend Away at Christmas
T’was the weekend before Christmas and Dexter and I had been invited to review the new Amba Hotel in Marble Arch. It’s not often we stay overnight in London so thought we’d make a weekend of it. We headed up to London by train on the Sunday afternoon and as per, Southeast […]
Will ISIS come Mum?
Dexter is on a school trip to the Natural History Museum today. All good stuff. He’s been before but quite frankly, you can never visit this too much … am I right? Anyway, it got to lunchtime and I was busy doing the housework. OK, I was watching Oxford Street Revealed on BBC1 […]
A Day in London with 241Passport + GIVEAWAY
This might surprise you, but it’s not every Thursday I travel down the Thames on a speedboat. However, last week, that’s exactly what I did! I was a guest of 241Passport and myself and a handful of other bloggers were treated to the sites and tastes of London. A quick word about who […]
Golfing with Monarch Airlines
My dad, bless him, always said I was a natural sportswoman. “You could play tennis for England if you wanted to,” was a particular favourite phrase of his but alas, I am built for comfort not speed and so my tennis career never quite took off. The closest I got to playing professional sport […]
The London Eye & A Hotel Picnic
Dexter started senior school last Thursday and we’ve already managed to fight about his homework. Go the Suttons! It feels like forever ago that we had a lovely couple of days in London exploring the city so whilst trying to ignore shouts of, “But I don’t know what I’m meant to be doing!” […]
