I’d like to have started this post “Last week Liv and I…” but the reality of that has now passed..so, a couple of weeks ago Liv and I had a lovely day in Brighton together that felt wonderfully nostalgic. Perhaps because I have happy memories of day trips here from years gone by, or it might have been to do with our shrugging off of responsibilities to have a good old-fashioned wander and hunt around the shops, like we would have done as teenagers.

Even though it’s only an hour and 20 away from Porto airport, Six Senses in the Douro Valley feels like a true countryside escape. I was lucky enough to experience it for a couple of nights, and can confirm it’s just as relaxing as it looks in the photographs.

One thing I did pick up on was how you (and me, too) don’t particularly care for outfit posts anymore. I get it – you get to see the outfit on Instagram with tags, why would you need to click through and see alternate angles a few days later?

One of my passions in life is a good roast dinner, and in particular, the beige coloured elements of the meal. At Christmas I was working on getting my yorkshire pudding eating into double digits in one sitting, and I’ve been known to hog most of the roast potatoes, too. So imagine my glee when I saw that Hubbard & Bell at The Hoxton, Holborn, were launching a roast dinner involving unlimited refills of my favourite carbs. After an excitable tweet, they got in touch to see if I wanted to try it out on launch day. Um, yes please?
