DINNER // CHAOPHRAYA

 I'm letting you all in on a little secret. I used to work in a Thai restaurant when I was at college. This was not a great for my street cred but neither was my knitwear collection for a teenager, but, I have always been a grafter and a jobs a job and I put my blooming all into anything that I ever did and still do. I had to dress up in traditional Thai dress, tiny outfits that were way too tight for me with a flower in my hair and waddle around the restaurant trying not to trip up. I do remember crying in the cutlery cupboard a fair few times as I didn't know the difference between a Koong Choop Pang Tod and a Por Pia Pak. Oh, teenage life ey?

JESMOND DENE HOUSE // CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON TEA

'Do what makes you feel happy' is something that I have recently been told by someone very important to me. 

'Surround yourself with people and things that make you feel good' she said.

And so I did!

CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST

If I could date the meaning of brunch I would be first in line. I would speed date the shit out of it and never let it out of my sight.

There is something so ‘get in my face’ about it that really excites me.
