Hi, I'm Natalie

I love food! Pasta, pizza, burgers, chips, cakes, pastries, sandwiches, curries, takeaways, sweets and chocolate. Almost everything except seafood - cod & salmon being the only exception.

I've been blessed with 2 beautiful daughters aged 12 and 3. They're chaotic, stroppy rays of sunshine and I love being their mum.

Elsa is a white husky with piercing blue eyes, she was called Elsa after the Frozen character by myself not my daughter! She's 9 with all the energy of a puppy and an absolute nightmare to walk.

I love to travel, kid-free city breaks are my thing. The girls would only moan and whinge and cry about their legs and their boredom so we decided it's best to stick to all inclusive family holidays where the moan risk is minimal with them. Italy is my absolute favourite, Rome, Venice and soon to be Sardinia.

I enjoy getting stuck into a good book, not that I get much chance these days. A story that takes you to another life, another world, one that captures me and takes me away from everyday life. It takes me quite some time to find a good book but once I have on I'm glued. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!
