Cookbook Club
I can resist everything… except temptation… Yes, you read the title correctly. We have joined a COOKBOOK CLUB! It’s amazing and fabulous and everything and more than you are currently imagining. Let me give you some details. A group of people meet in Delifonesca in Liverpool. We all purchase (or borrow from a library etc) the SAME cookbook. This month it was Jamie Oliver’s Everyday Super Food. Then every attendee picks a recipe and makes it for the whole group! They’ve even cleverly made an Excel sheet that you fill in with what you want to eat to make sure no one is cooking the same thing! Brilliant! If it’s…

Moon and Pea
May the force be with you… I’ve found my new favourite cafe in Liverpool already. As soon as we arrived we grabbed an Independent Liverpool card, which gives you a free drink or percentage off your meal at local restaurants. There are no big chains involved, just small cafes that aren’t run by massive corporations. I love finding a hidden hot chocolate that can’t be beaten and Independent Liverpool makes it so easy! Moon and Pea was top of my list of places to try in Liverpool. I’d heard only exciting things about Lark Lane and it’s all true! This street has tons of cute places to grab a bite and this…

Calm down calm down…
We’re oop norf… Sorry lovely readers, we’ve been so completely swamped with things to do and STILL having no internet, that we’ve not been able to write any posts for a while… but we are back! So, a quick update: we’ve found the most lovely of lovely apartments. We started off by looking for a two bedroom house, but the Estate Agents completely ignored what we were asking for. We wanted something ready to be moved into immediately and near Jason’s family. The places they suggested were mostly miles away and the ones we saw were either covered in rubbish (literally – the previous owners hadn’t bothered to even clean…

Mowgli – The best curry in England?
Stop the Press!! So last week we ate four curries. We also had a Chinese and a full English Roast, but today I’m going to tell you about the final curry. It was one of the best curries of my life and I half want to keep it a secret from you all and half want to tell the entire world. Mowgli in Liverpool is actually amazing. And you need to understand, for me to say this is a curry not to be missed, well, this is a big deal. It comes from extensive curry tasting and flavour researching all over the world. I nearly died of happiness at my…

Goodbye Berlin…
Time to say goodbye… So lovely readers, I would like to say sorry for the lack of posts recently, but I have been busy writing… A NOVEL! I joined the NaNoWriMo challenge of writing 50,000 words in just the month of November. I managed to hit the target just before the midnight deadline and am pretty chuffed. The novel isn’t finished however and I still want to continue, plus I have a mass-load of editing to do. Tenses got blurred up in the book and it’s going to be a pain to sort it out, but it would be amazing to publish a book one day. I shall keep you…

Time to Move On
Take me, take me, I’m yours… In less than a week we will be moving back to England. It’s been interesting discovering my German side, but I have to say I can’t wait to get back ‘home’. We have a whole host of reasons why we are leaving, but I might tell you about them after we have left – don’t want to offend anyone before we’ve run away haha! Nah, only joking! I can still see the pull that brought us to this great city. It’s so so so cheap! We’ve managed to live gloriously in a stunning apartment by working just twice a week. I’ve found a very new…
