April foodie photo dump 📸 Looking at my camer April foodie photo dump 📸 

Looking at my camera roll, turns out April was not only filled with lots of walking, work stuff and days out, but it involved ALOT of good food. Here’s a breakdown:

🍏 @bitestreet enjoying a @fashion.bake bao bun and @gyroguys1 doner meat and halloumi wrap washed down with @saxbys_cider 

🥯 Lots of Sunday coffees and smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels from @clairescottagekitchen 

🐟 Fish finger sandwich and best coffee chats at @clarke_and_dean 

☕️ Delicious iced coffee in the sunshine from @tenhandscafe 

🧁 Savoury and sweet afternoon tea at @olddairyfarmcrafts 

🍻 Stout and ale hauls from @haveigotbrewsforyou 

🍔 Insane blue cheese Mayo burger from @theflavourtrailer at @towcestermillbrewery 

I love looking back on my camera roll and smiling over the memories I’ve made this month. How has your April been? Let me know what food you enjoyed in Northamptonshire or beyond 👇🏻

If in doubt, always put the dress and heels on 💃🏻

Cocktails and dressing up last night with a friend was just what I needed to boost my confidence and luckily Northampton isn’t shy of places to visit on a Saturday night: @vandb_northampton @turtlebaynorthampton @maulecollective and @johnfranklinsbar to name a few 🍸 

Where are your favourite places to head to on a Saturday night in town? Let’s share recommendations below 👇🏻

Pints of cider, spring sunshine and baby cuddles 👶🏼 (that’s a sitcom episode title, surely?)

Loved spending last night with @thewishfulluxury and @xangrim and of course, baby Emilia for cuddles with her auntie Nicole as we enjoyed the last of the sunshine ☀️ spring is definitely on its way! 

I hope the weather lasts this weekend. Tell me what your plans are and if you’re navigating Northamptonshire or beyond 😍

We Will Rock You, Northampton 🤘🏻🎸 This w We Will Rock You, Northampton 🤘🏻🎸

This was the first ever musical I saw in London when I was 11 years old and I remember being absolutely blown away by this show that featured the music of my favourite band: Queen ❤️

17 years later and I saw the 20th tour production at @royalderngate last night and it still blew my socks off - also very emotional and touching seeing s full auditorium waving their hands and singing along to “We Are The Champions” 🥲

It’s in Northampton until Saturday and if you’re lucky like me, you might be able to bag yourself a last minute ticket for £20 - yup, you heard me! 👀 

Have you seen We Will Rock You? Wanna know how you can bag affordable theatre tickets in Northampton? Let me know 👇🏻

So Shy reporting for pantomime duty! 💁🏻‍♀️✨

One of my other passions is fooling around on stage making a tit out of myself - if you’re new here, you might not know that most February half terms, I find myself performing for a village pantomime in Syresham (near Silverstone) and this is the first year we’ve returned since the ol’ C word cancelled last years! 

I’ve loved playing this comedic role and it’s been fabulous doing what I love: singing, acting, making people laugh and again… making a right fool of myself!

If you’re local and providing the storms calm down tonight, we have 3 more shows left of Aladdin so come along if you fancy some half term entertainment (including a Saturday matinee!)

Do you have any weird and wonderful hobbies you do outside your regular 9-5 or Instagram life? 🎭✨🧞‍♂️

📍 Come see us at Syresham Village Hall, NN13 5HE - tickets on sale at the door for 7:30pm start (and 2:30pm tomorrow)

This home taco kit from @smokeandbraai hit the spot last weekend as everything was *chefs kiss* 👌🏼 life has felt extremely hectic and full on lately, so having this kit delivered with everything you need for a taco night was just what I needed!

The kit contained the following:

🐷 House Dry Rubbed 18 Hour Oak Wood Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork Shoulder (sourced from @westlodgefarmfood)
🌮 Handmade Masa Corn Tortilla
🧅 Homemade Sweet Pink Pickled Red Onions
🌶 Homemade Pickled Red Chillies
🧂 Smoked Sea Salt and Lime Crema

The kit comes with full instructions on how to prepare everything (literally took us 20 mins to get everything together) and it had plenty to keep us satisfied and full - maybe too many tacos consumed for me but hey, my eyes are bigger than my belly 👀

Drop them a DM if you’re feeling a taco night and let them know who sent ya ✌🏼 would you fancy trying this?

Have you ever visited the Silverstone Interactive Have you ever visited the Silverstone Interactive Museum? 👀 

Well it’s well worth a trip if you haven’t! I went a couple of Sundays ago with my dad who is a massive F1 fan. Considering I don’t know too much about the in’s and out’s of motorsport, I found the whole day and experience throughly interesting.

The experience dives into the history of Silverstone and there is so much to look at, read, lots of demonstrations and things to tinker with and plenty of photo opportunities (my camera roll is FULL) 📸 

I paid £40 for two adult tickets plus another £5 to get a souvenir book for my dad and I’d say it’s well worth the money. Be prepared for lots of walking!

Oooh I love a good-feel theatre show! @hairsprayuktour is finally here at @royalderngate and this show has been one I’ve wanted to tick off my theatre-watch list for ages! 😍

It’s a fab show with plenty of singing, dancing, comedy and so many sparkles. It’s only here until Saturday so get yourself down if you can - full review landing on my website today but *spoiler* it’s 5 ⭐️ from me!

Have you seen the show yet or will you be heading down to Royal & Derngate to see it this week? I’m gonna have the songs stuck in my head all day!

I’ve had such a busy week that I’m looking forward to some down time. I’ve got some bottomless brunch plans today (all will be revealed 👀) and then Sunday is scheduled for some pamper time! 

Throwback to last weekend when I finally checked out the new taproom at @haveigotbrewsforyou in Towcester who have opened their taproom where you can shop AND enjoy a nice sit down drink - defo check it out 👌🏼
