When the weather is as incredible as it was this weekend, it just doesn’t feel right not going out and making the most of it. So while we usually reserve our Sundays for some intense chilling, this weekend we found ourselves restless and itching to get out and enjoy the glorious sunshine, and I saw […]

Missoula, York
We discovered Missoula a couple of years ago when we needed a place for a quick meal, and ended up finding a place that was far nicer than we expected and would end up a regular for us! So when we popped in before a quiz night last Tuesday I thought it was about time […]
The Old White Swan, York
A very busy day on Saturday meant we found ourselves at about 6 o’clock needing some fuel for the night ahead, and after much debate the Old White Swan was decided upon. We wanted somewhere casual as not everyone we were with was eating, and we didn’t want to spend a bucket-load, and I knew […]
The Habit York
I love the idea of going out for breakfast/brunch, but it almost never happens because leaving the house before noon on a weekend is a rare occurrence for us. So this bank holiday when some friends came a-visiting it was the perfect opportunity to sample some of York’s daytime culinary delights, which landed us in […]
Etsy Showcase: Lair of Soveyshina
So in my first Etsy Showcase (here) I mentioned that I’d been converted to the online crafty marketplace by a couple of incredible gifts – well the first of those was this incredible personalised Binding of Isaac themed figure. Yes, that’s right, you may be surprised to discover that these aren’t actually naked pictures of […]
Twelfth Night
By Watermill Theatre Saturday 20th May, York Theatre Royal After seeing this company’s production of Romeo and Juliet (which you can read my review of here) as part of York Shakespeare Festival on Tuesday, I was looking forward to seeing their version of Twelfth Night on Saturday afternoon – but boy, I was not […]
Romeo and Juliet
By Watermill Theatre Tuesday 16th May, York Theatre Royal This week is York Shakespeare festival, and as an ex-drama student and theatre lover, there was no way I could not indulge in some Shakespeare and still look myself in the eye everyday (which I love to do, intensely, every morning). So I bit the […]
Judges Lodging York
I’ve been to Judge’s Lodgings for a drink or two plenty of times, but hadn’t ended up going there to eat until this Friday after seeing their new Spring menu, which looked right up my street. We arrived a little early, so got a drink and sat in the sunny outdoor area attached to the […]
Hotel Indigo: No.88 Walmgate York
All pictures courtesy of Jessica Holmes On Sunday I was lucky enough to tag along with my photographer-extraordinaire gal pal Jess for a meal that she was treated to by Hotel Indigo’s No.88 Walmgate restaurant on the edge of the city. All I knew (from a quick Google) was that the restaurant focuses on Yorkshire […]
In Tents and Purposes
By Viscera Theatre Wednesday 26th April, York Theatre Royal Some excellent Edinburgh Fringe reviews including the promise of a laugh-out-loud funny, clever, female-led hour of silliness seduced me enough to drag DanielManiel to the Theatre Royal on a chilly mid-week night in April; and we weren’t disappointed. A time-hopping tale that follows the course […]
