Just making sure everyone is on their best parliamentary behaviour today! 😉
I visited Parliament in London! It was such a nice experience getting a behind-the-scenes look at the UK government!

Ticking off Santorini for my birthday? Check! 🇬🇷
I’m so glad I finally got to do this Greek Island destination for my birthday after putting it off for two years.
Come with me on this journey as I eat, wander, explore, take far too many pictures, and celebrate another trip around the sun in one of the prettiest places I’ve ever been.
Birthday in Santorini starts here. 💕
A breakfast table this crowded needs at least one low-effort win.
We paired Stir & Serve Tuna in Soy, Ginger & Honey Sauce with quinoa, seeds and grains, and it was ready in just two minutes.
Each serving delivers 21g of protein, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. It’s also made with MSC-certified fish and comes in recyclable packaging.
Big flavour, very little faff, and one less complicated dish to prepare. That’s the kind of shortcut I can get behind.
Which Stir & Serve flavour would you try first?
New gym-bag essential unlocked.
Easy to carry, easy to eat between sets, and not a disappointing flavour in sight.
The clever part? bars are wrapper-free, using an edible coating instead of an individual plastic wrapper.
My only complaint is that the box did not magically refill itself after the workout.

Would you believe me if I told you I used to run in high school? I was pretty good at it too!
Somewhere along the way, I stopped running. Now I’m slowly getting back into it, one workout at a time.
I recently tried the Blend & Bloom running vest during a treadmill session. It was easy to adjust, comfortable while I moved, and kept my water and smaller essentials within easy reach.
It also came with safety lights, which are a useful addition for early-morning or evening runs.
I’m still rebuilding my confidence and stamina, but I’m excited to wear it on more runs.

If you’re starving, come and eat.
One day, one ticket, three Lake District stops! Wow! 🤩 🚌🍃
Windermere → Ambleside → Coniston, all on a North West Explorer ticket, open-top views, quiet country lanes, and a boat trip on the lake to finish it off.
This is exactly why I love exploring by bus, just hop on, hop off, and let the journey be part of the day.
Where would you go with a Stagecoach North West Explorer ticket? 👇🏾
Chicken, avocado, jam, and cheese toastie made with ‘s new croissant loaf. It was the yummiest ever!
The Recipe
Ingredients -
For the Sandwich:
* St Pierre Croissant Loaf
* 4 large eggs
* A handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1 ripe avocado, sliced
* 3 chicken breasts or equivalent chicken portions, seasoned
* Slices of American cheese
* St Dalfour Jams
* Butter for the grill
For the Iced Coffee:
* 2 tbsp instant coffee granules
* 2 tbsp granulated sugar
* 2 tbsp boiling water
* Warm water
* Ice cubes
* * 250ml milk of choice
Side:
* 1 fresh mango, diced
Method
1. Prepare the Chicken: Boil the seasoned chicken portions until cooked through. Transfer them to the airfryer until the exterior is crisp, and then shred the meat.
2. Prepare the Egg Wash: In a bowl, whisk the finely chopped fresh coriander with the eggs and a pinch of ground cinnamon for a savoury French toast base.
3. Prep the Fillings: Slice the fresh avocado and set aside.
4. Grill the Slices: Butter your sandwich press or grill. Dip the slices of the Croissant Loaf into the egg mixture to coat both sides. Place them on the grill to toast for a few minutes.
6. 6. Assemble the Sandwich: On the toasted slices, spread a layer of jam. Layer on the thinly sliced avocado and the shredded chicken, then top with American cheese slices before closing the sandwich.
7. The Final Melt: Place the assembled sandwich back onto the hot grill to toast lightly until the cheese melts.
8. Whip the Coffee: Mix your milk of choice with some warm water in a stand mixer. In a blender, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and boiling water. Blend on high speed until it froths into a thick foam.
9. Serve: Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour the milk mixture over the ice. Spoon the whipped coffee foam right on top. Slice your hot sandwich and serve it alongside the fresh diced mango.
