March seemed so long when we were in it, so I can't believe we're already 10 days into April! I spent wonderful weekends in Bath and Oxford with friends and a week skiing in the French Alps with my family. My London-based recommendations are a little thin on the ground this month, but I still…

Marrakech and an engagement
I realised, looking through my 2015 posts, that I'd said I was off on holiday to Morocco, but I hadn't yet shared any details about how the trip was - what a tease! You might have guessed from the title of this post that something rather magical did happen while I was away - my boyfriend…
Hello, 2016!
Happy new year! Most bloggers have begun 2016 with a 'resolutions' post and, although I'm a little late to it, as it's nearing the end of January, I thought it would make a great first post for 2016! My resolution is to share more of my personal life on my blog. I've loved writing about independent…
Hamlet at the Barbican
Last Saturday we went to see Sonia Friedman's production of Hamlet at the Barbican. The one with Benedict Cumberbatch that's been the 'play to see' this summer in London. I've been patiently waiting since getting the tickets months ago! The performance was utterly incredible. Hamlet is my favourite Shakespeare play and this was the most memorable production I've…

When we first thought about going on holiday I had my heart set on a Mediterranean island but was persuaded by my fairly beach-averse boyfriend and a browse of some travel…
A New Direction
All good blogs are experiments when they start out, aren't they? Good, because I have a confession to make. Despite having this blog for around 2 years, I'm only just discovering what I want it to be about. A couple of years ago, I was determined to work in the arts, and envisioned Arts Bites to be…
A quick trip to Glasgow
I find January one of the hardest winter months as it's cold, dark and there's no Christmas to look forward to any more! So this year we planned a quick weekend winter getaway to Glasgow; two weeks after starting back at work we jumped on an overnight sleeper train to Scotland! The Caledonian Sleeper was such…
