Iced vanilla lattes to be exact 🧊☕️

They’re my absolute favourite but I find they can be hit and miss depending how they’re made. Nothing more disappointing than when they’re not quite right.

Wombat Wisdom do a lovely one, with a side of chocolate banana bread 😋

📍 @wombatwisdomcoffee Park View, Whitley Bay

Rise and shine ☀️

I’m going for a beach walk and coffee, Sunday lunch and a couple of drinks. How’s your Sunday looking?

PS if you were the two girls sea dipping at sunrise at King Edward’s bay yesterday morning (fourth clip) I have a ten second video of you both chatting and laughing away that’s very wholesome 🌅

What a weekend for Tynemouth Food Festival ☀️

Glorious out there this morning and it’s set to stay for most of the weekend 🕶️🍦

@tynemouthfoodfest (ad) pre sale tickets are sold out but you can pay on the day subject to site capacity if you want to venture to the coast and enjoy some good scran and support our local traders

🐾 Dogs are welcome on leads but can’t go in marquees

Just FYI traffic is a nightmare around Tynemouth at the moment especially in good weather and even more so with the works going on along the front - try get public transport if you can.

How to glamp solo… - choose a luxury place it d

How to glamp solo…

- choose a luxury place it does make life a lot easier especially if you don’t get good weather
- find somewhere with a hot tub it’s so relaxing
- pay for the pre light of the hot tub, saves hours
- learn quickly how to light fires yourself anyway
- take a book
- plan day trips nearby
- take your favourite treats
- having an enclosed safe space for the dog is ideal
- people love to switch off when glamping but if i’m on my own I really need wifi for the uninterrupted scroll (and safety)
- make a playlist, a lot of luxury glamps have speakers Harry Styles was the soundtrack to my stay here
- don’t forget the wine or coffee, enjoying both outside is a next level wholesome vibe

Is it something you’d do on your own?

I’m deciding where to book for this summer now I’ve inspired myself.

This place was @woodlandchaseglamping and genuinely one of the best glamping stays I’ve ever done 🌿🛖

One for your North East bucket list ✅

On the first Saturday of every month from now, Newcastle City Guides are running half hour tours to the top of Greys Monument. Enjoy 360 views over the Toon from the very top.

It’s just £7 per person to climb the 164 steps up the column, where you can look over Newcastle as far as the eye can see. I couldn’t look directly down but the views were incredible looking out and over.

- count the domes there’s loads more than you realise
- spot 6 of the 7 bridges that cross the river Tyne
- see St James’ standing proud on top of the hill
- view Grey Street often voted on prettiest streets in the UK lists
- look right over Grainger Street and market right down to Central Station
- see the Georgian architecture and Central Arcade from new heights

📍 Durham Saturday market

Every Saturday from 9-4:30 the Market Place in Durham hosts over 30 independent traders to browse. I had a look around a couple of weeks ago and there’s some canny stuff.

The sweet stall was dangerous so much choice and sweets I hadn’t seen for years 🍭

📍 Corner House Loft

a d| The second beautiful place I stayed in Cornwall, this time in Mevagissey with @aspects_holidays 🌊

I loved this place, not only was it gorgeous and huge for only sleeping two people, it was right in the centre of town so everything was only 2 minutes walk away.

🛌 sleeps 2 in the comfiest giant bed ever up in the loft space
🛁 quirky bathroom with feature tub and double shower
🍽️ fully equipped kitchen with island seating and dining table
📚 desk working space, wifi, TV, games and books to be connected - or not if you choose
🛋️ seperate living space with two big sofas
🐾 dog friendly, bed and bowls provided
☀️ private outside seating space that was a total sun trap

⛵️ a few minutes walk to the harbour which was the most quaint seaside spot you could find, ice cream, fish and chips, trinket shops, Cornish bakery

I parked the car up and didn’t leave Mevagissey once we got here the apartment and its perfect location was a big part of that. I want to go back here and see all the areas of Cornwall that I didn’t get to.

Looking for somewhere special? 🤩 ad| @1910span

Looking for somewhere special? 🤩

ad| @1910spanishcity is a dining experience like no other on the North Tyneside coast. And I’m not bias even though it’s home 🫶🏼

1910 is the premium dining offer at Spanish City, with steak and seafood on the menu, and panoramic views of the coast and St Mary’s on the side. On spring/summer evenings it’s absolutely beautiful and a real treat to make an evening of in the champagne bar for a glass of fizz first, followed by dinner and then perhaps a nightcap under the dome.

The set menu is available on Fridays and Saturdays, two courses for £32 and three for £36. Choose from a big range of dishes - we had the prawn cocktail and the garlic oysters* - although I was tempted with the St Mary’s gin oysters to try! 🦪

For mains my mum had the chicken breast and I had the Picanha steak, with a side of garlic prawns* to make it surf and turf.

It was all delicious, and although we didn’t really have room we got ice cream and coffee for dessert which came with some rich chocolate truffles. Indulgence at its best ✨ there was a lot of choice for all tastes I’ll link the menu in my story.

* these dishes were at an added supplement that I paid, and feel like I should mention although it’s steak and seafood there are vegetarian dishes available.

Fabulous food, service, views and venue ✨

May in Newcastle and the North East! ☀️

Some inspiration for the month 🗓️

Whenever I share these I’m always told what I’ve forgot. I can’t share everything in one reel but if you want to add anything you think I’ve missed (not kids events though pls I beg you 🙏🏼) or are running an event feel free to add 👇🏼

April highlights!

I didn’t have the best start to the month with that horrible rib injury and never ending cough but it definitely improved!

🐚 Cornwall a huge highlight
🌸 Alnwick garden cherry blossom
🍷 lunch at Daylesford
🐾 pottering about and beach trips with my boy
🍽️ some really amazing restaurant invites with great new menus

I’m still not 100% but I’m only getting busier and May is about to start with a much needed girls weekend 🥂

Thanks for following as always x

Gaucho Brunch Newcastle! ad| Finally the famous G

Gaucho Brunch Newcastle!

ad| Finally the famous Gaucho brunch has arrived in Newcastle, and it’s like no others 🥩

For £65 per person your Gaucho brunch lasts for two hours and includes:

🍷 up to 8 drinks per person from a selection of cocktails that were definitely not watered down
- house red, white or rosé, the red was lovely with our mains
- lager
- mocktails (non alcoholic brunch is £50pp)

🇦🇷 Unlimited starters including the Argentine sausage plate, beef or sweet potato empanada, burrata with tomato’s and avocado on sourdough, superstraccia salad

🥩 a main course from a choice of steak and eggs, brunch burger, churasco de quadril steak or spaghetti romesco with chips or salad

🍨 chocolate brownie or mango and coconut dessert

It was excellent and worth the price for drinks alone, really good quality cocktails, wine and food👌🏼

Let’s face it many ‘bottomless brunches’ are all about the flowing prosecco and not really about the food, but the Gaucho brunch is all about the whole experience - Latin music and Argentine tango dancers providing entertainment while you get stuck in.

Available on one Saturday per month the next one is 25th May - what a great way to spend bank holiday Saturday
