I've decided I can't live in a big city when I'm older.  I need to be surrounded by nothing but fields of sheep .  How am I supposed to resist the 7 million different eateries right outside my front door?! Everything from pizza and burgers to ice cream and churros is less than a 5 minute walk from my piso in Madrid and it's pretty stressful, I tell ya. This sort of thing just can't be helped It's safe to say I've sampled a fair few restaurants/cafés/bars (did you know Madrid has more bars per square metre than anywhere else in Europe(!)) since arriving in Madrid 5 months ago - and there's so many more to discover! So I thought I'd start a little series of my favourite places (I couldn't possibly condense them all into one post, or we'd be here for hours.) Sorry in advance for making you really hungry. Trust . If you want... BRUNCH Name:   Federal Café Where?: Plaza de las Comendadores, Plaza del Conde de Barajas  My fav...

There are some real weirdos in this world, and I love it . Apparently they all congregate in the beautiful city of Edinburgh during August. This gathering of weirdos is also known as The Edinburgh Festival Fringe . And it's AWESOME . I'd never been to the Fringe before, so on our way up to spend a few days with my parents in Aberdeenshire, my friend Polly and I decided to stop off in Edinburgh for a night and explore the festival. This is Polly. It was all rather last minute, so of course all the well known shows were sold out, but that didn't matter because we stumbled upon some absolute crackers . Even just strolling up and down The Royal Mile there's so much to see, like these amazing roller bladers (who were actually figure skaters but had adapted due to the somewhat lack of ice on the street)...  ...or these amazing acrobats just being completely casual (follow them  here ). The first actual show we went to see was an improvised ...

Hiya internet friends!  It would seem that Winter has appeared overnight. Seriously, when did it get so cold? I think we had almost a whole week and a half of Autumn there, classic Britain, and now it's positively freezing. So wrap up warm kids, and start your day off with one of these scrumptious (and healthy) (well, 2 out of 3) breakfasts ! BREKKIE NUMBER ONE. So. Overnight oats, They're pretty great. Usually. Something just went wrong, I think I added too much milk, they were too sloppy and the flavour combo just wasn't working. It's safe to say it was an upsetting morning. UNTIL, I had the genius plan of transforming this soggy, fruity, oaty concoction (sounds appealing, I know) into a smoothie . And it was DELICIOUS. Fab colour, am I right?! This is a pretty free recipe, throw in whatever you fancy! But here's what I used (roughly, this was actually a while ago, shhhh). Ingredients (makes one smoothie): 5 tbsp porridge oats 200ml almond mil...
