Christmas is fast approaching and one of my favourite traditions this time of year is to see a pantomime.
This year, we were lucky enough to be invited along to the press night at Forum Theatre Billingham for this years panto, Cinderella!
Dear Diary… Heathers the Musical has been a show that I’ve wanted to see for so long and I’m so glad I finally got to see it on opening night in Stockton!
I took a trip to Westerberg High, via Stockton Globe, for the darkly hilarious musical and, let me tell you, it certainly didn’t disappoint.
If you’re looking for things to do in the North East this summer, look no further than NOVUM – a multi-arts festival in the heart of Newcastle!
Can you believe it’s that time of year again?!
It’s been a lovely Christmas, I’m ready to see what 2024 brings but before we do anything else…it’s time to look back on 2023 with my Burgess’ Buff Blokes list!
If you’re new to this then, well I’m offended, but anyway this is how it works –
1. I put together a list of my top 25 sexy celebs of the year.
2. In order to be featured they have to have done something during the year.
3. Only 3 men from my previous years list can make it into this one!
Now that you’re all caught up – take a seat, grab a drink and enjoy…
It’s not officially Christmas until you get to see a panto, right? We were over the moon to be invited along to Darlington Hippodrome again this year for the opening weekend of the fairest panto in the land… Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!
Adam and I love a little jaunt to Seaham on a weekend so I was really excited to be invited along to The ARMourY to grab a drink and try some food from their new menu!
September was relatively quiet and it’s a good job really as we had a jam packed October! It’s my favourite month to be fair and I always try and fill it with lots of fun autumn activities. We did so much and now it’s time to tell you all about it!
Continue readingEarlier this year, Sunderland was named the best city in the UK for independent restaurants and it honestly comes as no surprise. We’re so lucky to have so many wonderful eateries in the area and one that we visited recently is Marcellos!
September has been a relatively quiet month which is quite nice considering how busy the rest of the year has been! A lot of chill time with family and friends, visits to various foodie spots and nights in curled up in front of the telly. It’s been pretty perfect. Let me tell you all about it!

My favourite season is finally here and I’m ready to embrace the darker nights, the big jumpers and the pumpkin spice!
Like a lot of people, I feel a real spiritual connection to Autumn. It feels like the perfect time to reflect on the year so far, to let go of any negative feelings and to find balance in all aspects of life. I always like to make a bucket list for the season and to keep myself busy, so here’s my list for 2023.
