Luxurious Hot Chocolate Recipe

During the dark winter months hot chocolate is a must in our house. It is oldest's choice of drink for when she gets home from school. There is just something deeply satisfying about a mug of hot ... Read More

  • Nope, this isn't the face I pull when I realise that I'm still not ready for Christmas! We have less than two weeks to go! 😱😱😱 No, this is the face I pull when I see another headline about the apparent feud between Meghan and Kate - YAWN. It's boring and I'm fed up if it. I'm talking about this in my latest blog post (link in profile). It's time the media changed their narrative. Stop pitting women against each other! Right - back to Crimbo induced panic. #instaselfie #selfie_time #selfietime #selfiemood #selfieselfie #icantdoselfies #unapologeticselfie #equality #feminist #ihavenocluewhathashtagstoputhere #christmasprep #royalfamily #duchessofsussex #duchessofcambridge
  • Winter has well and truly arrived on Jersey. It feels like it has been raining nonstop for days. The wind has had me worrying about our roof and it looks like the boat hasn't been able to get in because the shelves are bare at the supermarket 😬😬. We went yesterday and there was nothing. Mr C went today and came back with wine as that's all they had (well, that's what he said) 🤣. At least we have plenty of wine in for our guests this Christmas. I'm taking this weather as my cue to hibernate. Netflix, hot chocolate and candles here I come. Over on the blog I'm sharing how I'm tackling winter on the island. Link in profile. In other news - who will be watching the final of I'm A Celeb tonight? Hazza for the win! #coastalliving #sea_sky_nature #seascapephotography #sealandscape #seascape #seaandsky #seascapephotography #beachlife #wintersun #winterishere #visitjersey #theislandbreak #jerseyci #beachlife🌊
  • These two...don't let those cheeky smiles fool you. This week is proving rather tricky. They are whingy and arguing with each other all of the time! Urgh. I think we are all feeling a little tired and we are ready for the Christmas break now. Roll on the weekend. Hopefully we will get to sleep in and these two will stop monkeying (see what I did there 😬) around. . . . . . #mocomuseum #banksyamsterdam #banksyart #parenthoodmoments #capturingchildhood #capturingmoments #snaphappybritmums #pinklinker #coolmumclub #childofig #childhoodunplugged
  • Yes, the Christmas tree has gone up already 🙈 I might not normally be known for my glitter and sparkles but that all changes come December. The house resembles the Blackpool Illuminations, I've covered every possible surface in tinsel, I am already stockpiling the Quality Street and Roses, I've been warbling along to Mariah Carey and I managed to watch 4 Christmas films this weekend. FYI you have to watch Christmas Chronicles on Netflix! It's brilliant! Yes, I am now in full on festive mode! Are you ho, ho, ho Or no, no, noooo (too early)? #countryliving #countrylifestyle #countrylife #lifeinthecountry #countrysideliving #countrychic #rusticcharm #thecottagejournal #countrycottage #cosycottage #cottagelife #ourhome #cottageliving #cottagehome #myhousebeautiful
  • It's almost the weekend....thank goodness. This weekend we will be getting our festive cheer on🎄. It will be out first Christmas in our home and we are very, very excited for it🏠. I just need to get organised. The plan is to put the tree up and we need to find the festive bling. However, I have a feeling that we lost our decorations in one of our many moves at the start of the year 🙄. We will also be putting the Now This Is Christmas album on very loudly, writing the cards, watching all of the festive films and baking the Christmas cake. I can't wait. What are your plans? #countryliving #countrylifestyle #countrylife #lifeinthecountry #countrysideliving #countrychic #rusticcharm #thecottagejournal #countrycottage #cosycottage #cottagelife #ourhome #cottageliving #cottagehome #myhousebeautiful
  • "Amsterdam has more than 150 canals and 1,250 bridges, but it never seems crowded, nor bent and bitter from fleecing the tourist." Julie Burchill. Still dreaming about living in Amsterdam, still trying to convince Mr C that we could live there 😉 Over on the blog I'm sharing what we got up to on day on Day 3 of our Amsterdam trip. It was an emotional day...link in profile. #mycityloves #theprettycities #prettylittletrips #topeuropephoto #culturetrip #europetrip #beautifuldestination #cntraveler #living_europe #amsterdam_streets #amsterdamcanals #amsterdamgram #visitamsterdam #amsterdamlife #amsterdamtrips #visualoflife #amaterdamshots
  • And just like that we are riding into another week 🚴‍♀️. The weeks seem to be flying by at the moment and I have so much to do! Yesterday the girls had their Christmas show and today I made the Christmas Puddings ready for the big day. It feels like everyone has been putting up their Christmas tree this weekend. Have you? We haven't but we are starting to feel more festive now and we may have started watching The Christmas films. What's your must watch Christmas film. We love Elf! #mycityloves #theprettycities #prettylittletrips #topeuropephoto #culturetrip #europetrip #beautifuldestination #cntraveler #living_europe #amsterdam_streets #amsterdamgram #visitamsterdam #amsterdamlife #amsterdamtrips #visualoflife
  • I love this photo. The street lamp, the car, the houses and the canal. I just wish that the bloody parking meter wasn't in the way 😂. Over on the blog (link in profile) I'm sharing the next installment of our Amsterdam trip. How did we spend my birthday in Amsterdam? Did I schmoke and a pancake, cigar and a waffle, pipe and a crepe a la Austin Powers? Erm, the answer would be no. But I did do lots of other fab things! . . . . . . . . . .#mycityloves #theprettycities #prettylittletrips #topeuropephoto #culturetrip #europetrip #beautifuldestination #cntraveler #living_europe #amsterdam_streets #amsterdamcanals #amsterdamgram #visitamsterdam #amsterdamlife #amsterdamtrips #visualoflife
