My lifestyle

I write a lot about my lifestyle, so it is inevitable that it is one of the more regularly used categories on my blog. I was born in Brighton, England but live in Paciano, Umbria, Brighton. I regularly reminisce about aspects of my childhood and talk a lot of aspects of my lifestyle now I live in Italy.

As I still visit England regularly my posts talk about travel, visits to my parents and Brighton and the surrounding areas. My lifestyle revolves around my husband Barnet Boy and my animal family of two dogs and 17 cats so they feature strongly in my posts. I write about visits to local restaurants, festas, new neighbours (like Ed Sheeran) the changing of the seasons, picking olives and pruning olive trees. I write about new things I come across, the history of my house and the surrounding area and much more. Did I mention Italian coffee, cornetti and ice cream? Well I do in my lifestyle blog posts!
