Finding a lunch spot on a Saturday in Bristol can be overwhelming. There are so many options for a variety of appetites and occasions all over the city, but when friends of mine suggested tapas at Pata Negra a few weeks ago I was excited to try something new.
You may be familiar with the term, FOMO – the fear of missing out. I’m unlikely to be the only person guilty of succumbing to this feeling, especially when faced with a clash of events or a disruption to plans with friends. When fomo strikes, it can send you into a crazy mindset that leads you to believe that whatever else you do in that period of time won’t be as fun or as significant, usually taking you on a downward spiral of misery and despair… well, I’ve had enough of feeling that way!

Summer is officially here… well, sort of! I was kindly invited along a couple of weeks ago to sample cocktails at The Ox in Cheltenham’s new summer menu – an offer I couldn’t refuse!
Continuing on from my last Cotswolds post here, myself and Nia and enjoyed a much needed rest in our suite before dinner.
Canapés and prosecco were from 6.45pm in the bar, where we indulged in more delicious bite size delights.
Sunday is the new Saturday.
There’s something special about waking up on a Sunday morning – the smell of brunch, a fresh cup of coffee and usually a day of adventure ahead. They don’t usually involve trips to the salon for medi-pedi’s…
Last week, in a moment of madness, I decided I would spend three days in a social media free zone. An easy task for some, a challenge for me. I thought I would reflect on the experience, sharing my honest thoughts on the digital detox and how I feel about being back online.
