Your Autumn bucket list 🍂

🍁🌅🕯️🧦🐿️🥾🧇🍷🤎🍻🧸

Fred’s ☕️ Just opened in the Lower Ground

Fred’s ☕️

Just opened in the Lower Ground floor of Fenwicks, by the opposite escalator to Mother Mercy is Fred’s, named after Fred Fenwick and the best description is taken straight from the menu…

‘FRED’s is a modern take on the Terrace Tea Room, which was opened by Fred at Fenwick Newcastle in 1911.’

You can get a light breakfast until 12pm, including a selection of pastries from the counter or something from the pots and bowls section. There was a selection of supreme croissants that looked great but I got the açai bowl and it was the prettiest I’ve ever seen.

From lunchtime you can choose from the sandwich menu, and there’s also patisseries available from Mason & Rye. Or if you want to push the boat out you could go for afternoon tea, at £25pp but this requires pre booking. And a good drinks menu including everything from coffee juices and smoothies to the good stuff - cocktails, wine and fizz.

A great new addition inspired by the history of our flagship Fenwick

‘Not only do I not care, I much prefer it’

The best thing that travelling alone for work ever taught me was how to eat out alone.

Nobody else cares so why should you?

ROSE TINTED GLASSES - a must see exhibition in New

ROSE TINTED GLASSES - a must see exhibition in Newcastle tonight and tomorrow night! 🥀

📲 Send this to your girl group chats and make a plan, here’s why…

Faye invited me to her show a few months ago and I’ve followed her since @fayegreenman - as she’s shared snippets of the exhibit story and each painting. They’re all gorgeous in their own right but I really wasn’t prepared for the full show and the story (therapy session) you go through when seeing them all on display in order like this

In Faye’s own words from last night, the 15 paintings all done over the past 18 months are

‘a woman’s story and a story of self love’ 🤍

Through the different chapters the paintings and descriptions have somehow managed to capture all the variations of love girls go through, from childhood innocence having ‘a cup of you and me’ with her grandad, to first teenage crush listening to songs in your bedroom, tunnel vision when things aren’t quite right, heartbreak, living your best wild single life, a don’t give a f*ck era and finding the perfect partner.

It’s scarily relatable and whatever stage or situation(ship) you’re at there’s something that will hit home either from the past or present.

The display is complemented by a centre table scape that also shows many different scenarios as you go round 💄📸

It’s the perfect solo date, girl date, or even take your significant other, but it’s only there tonight and tomorrow afternoon so be quick!

…just not pumpkin spice as I can’t deal with it.

Stopped by @nlandhq a couple of weeks ago, great coffee. And some cute local prints too.

3 of my bucket list hotels to save for next summer

3 of my bucket list hotels to save for next summer 🌴

🇪🇸 @ohla_barcelona - I’d wanted to go to Barcelona forever and eventually got there in February thanks to a work trip I extended. Really quirky, incredible rooftop bar and great location.

🇪🇸 @nobishotelpalma - only opened within the last year and is just beautiful, a 5 star luxury hotel in one of the oldest buildings in Palma. No pool so a good one for early/end of summer when it’s not as hot. They treat you like royalty.

🇬🇷 @thesyntopia - the Crete hotel of dreams. Id had this place saved since 2019 and was always told ‘we’ll see’ - well I did see and it was fabulous

Just a tip I booked all of these direct as it got me the best rates. Dont let anyone hold you back - book the trip, enjoy the hotel💁🏻‍♀️

‘Back to work’ ☕️💻🎧

I don’t get this feeling as much working from home full time but I do think September feels way more like a fresh start than New Year does.

It’s also a great time to take holiday if you don’t have kids, can’t wait for my week off next week 🙌🏼 everything’s quieter but usually still have decent weather.

We’ll call it the ‘Sunday of Summer’

31/08/24 a self care summer - would recommend 🤍

31/08/24 a self care summer - would recommend 🤍

It took a few years but finally felt like my normal self again this summer 🥹 They say the happiest demographic are solo women in their 30s, 💯 I can see it.

There’s been best friend weddings, boujee holidays, work trips to Vegas, bucket list hotels, lots of firsts - Barcelona, Cornwall, the most shocking being an online PT sorry who am I?

But it’s all the bits in between that matter and how happy you are when you climb into bed at night and wake up first thing in the morning.

New flat to finish it all off cheeeeeeeeerssssss 🥂

Forest Spa, Middleton Lodge 🌿 This time last y

Forest Spa, Middleton Lodge 🌿

This time last year I booked a full spa day with lunch and treatment at @middletonlodge beautiful Forest Spa and felt like I was in another country.

Here’s why the first week of September is the time to go:

🌿 it was quiet with most people back to school/work
🌿 the weather was still so warm - despite what the seasonal aisles in every shop are telling you we’re forecast a lot of sun and warm temps for at least another week - enjoy the outdoor pool and loungers
🌿 al fresco lunch is the one

Wine by the pool after a massage and the sound of spa bubbles is the therapy we all need 🫧

📍 Bertram’s, Warkworth

ad| The guys who own two of my favourite Northumberland restaurants - the Potted Lobster in Bamburgh and the Whittling House in Alnmouth have now also taken over Bertram’s in Warkworth!

If you’ve been to either you’ll know you’re in for some top quality locally sourced food and @bertrams_warkworth is no different. Right in the town centre so easy to find, the evening menu has a really good selection to choose from.

For starter I went for the oxtail and haggis croquettes with Worcester cream and they were amazing, I’d go back for just those again. I struggled to choose from a few options the squid and the soup both sounded great too.

Main I had the sirloin beef with proper chips, cooked perfectly - only really picky slight thing missing was maybe a steak side sauce but it was delicious. Other choices were North Sea cod, crab crusted hake, buttered chicken or slow cooked blade of beef with truffle mash.

I was pretty full but had to have the raspberry ripple roll. All in all a 10/10 meal especially if you’re staying up there and can also make the most of the wine list.

🐾 like all their restaurants there’s a dog friendly end which was just as nicely done as the no dog end
