I was pretty scared when I changed from a 9-5 office worker commuting into London every day to a working from home freelance consultant.

I know this is a little late for a Veganary post but I recently had the chance to try out the new Vegan menu from Bill’s Restaurant in Canterbury that they launched especially for the occasion.

I was given a set of Oliver Bonas Face Masks…
When it comes to taking photographs I am the type of person who loves to get just the right shot, save them on my computer and then forget about them! This simply will not do. My parents have albums full of amazing family memories that go back from before I was born and when I consider how many photos I…
My mum is a huge fan of The Carpenters, so when we were offered the chance to attend a performance of The Carpenters Story at The Orchard Theatre in Dartford we didn’t hesitate before saying yes!
