Antics and ramblings of a twenty something

Hello!! How’re you today?? I hope you’ve been enjoying the warm but rainy weather. With all seriousness it’s nice just to have a bit of warmth now so I’m not minding the rain - it’s nice to be able to finally pull out my daffodil crop top for a change!  🌼 Today has been the best of days off, in a busy and relaxed way all at once. I met my lovely best mate, Anna, for a coffee and catch up in town, before heading home to bake a pie. I fancied having something in that I could eat over a few days for convenience, but that was also super healthy and made me smile on the inside. A cute little deli in my town does the most AMAZING sweet potato and onion pie so I thought “I’ll give it a go”. Whilst cooking is very tiring and I have to keep sitting down and resting at each stage (PoTS life I tell you🤗), I really feel relaxed when baking and try to do it on my days off wherever possible. I didn’t follow any real recipe with this other than Free ’s recipe for a gluten free shortcr...

Hello! Hope this post finds you well and enjoying this really sunny weather! I recently found a caddy of tea - sealed and unopened - in a charity shop and it’s meant I’m doing the thing I love best; tea sampling. Since doing this and enjoying it I thought that I should do a post commemorating six of the best teas I’ve tried in general. We all know English breakfast is amazing, but I feel that it gets so much airtime that not many other teas get a look in! As someone who comes from a family who aren’t very experimental tea-wise, I’ve just built these favourites over years of trying. I realised early on rooibos and green teas don’t agree with me at all, so none of these will include such teas sorry:(.  * *(In fact my third choice the “Peppermint Melon” is classed as a green tea- I didn’t know and still love it!) I hope if you try them you like them as much as I do! Below are my all-time faves - but if you have any other suggestions with your favourites please let me know in...

Hello! In true Molly fashion I find myself writing my second blog in two days after not blogging for a month. (Insert hands in face emoji here). I think I'm one of those people that has a few interests and I seem to steer towards one and neglect the others, then rotate and so then realise how much I have missed something. Anyway.... Today, as I've finished a book I thought I'd do a little review. The book I've just finished was the very funny and easy to read "Love Nina - Dispatches into family life" by Nina Stibbe. The whole book is formed of actual letters home Stibbe wrote to her sister whilst living in London as a Nanny. Set in the 80's, Nina becomes very quickly part of the family and has amazingly funny anecdotes in her time where she stays in the same street as many famous writers and playwrights. I would definitely recommend this book to pretty much anyone after something funny and easy reading. Alongside reading I've plunged into You...

Hey, How're you? Glad to hear you're good ;). It's actually so nice to sit down and write tonight, in the weirdest way it feels like coming back to a friend I haven't caught up with in ages. I think for this reason blogging will always be in my life if only for one post a year (hopefully I'll want to write more than that but y'know what I mean) I think there's something so special in having a place to chat, reminisce and think without any rush. So yeah, hi, it's nice to be back. The past month has been exciting and eye opening. It's one where I've actively joined new groups locally, made new friends and tried new things. After deciding I'm staying local for this part of my life I decided I wanted to meet new people in the same area. I love my existing friends, but most of them have moved away to do brilliant things (I love you all and I'm so proud of you), so I think its so so important to meet a new crew. This has resulted in me p...
