Me, Myself & Marmite

My first winter in Canada - albeit magnificent - has seemed never ending. It may not be the longest I've ever been away from the UK, but it certainly is the furthest. To combat homesickness I've been making Nigella's criminally easy yet scrumptious marmite spaghetti. It's also been quite the crowd-pleaser as Marmite hasn't really caught on yet in North America.

Ace for a naughty treat, any fellow homesick expats or simply for lining your stomach before a big night out. It's like dipping mini cheddars in your brew, don't knock it until you try it!

Fun fact: airports in the UK have begun selling adorable mini tubs of Marmite as they realised it was the number 1 confiscated item at customs!

I Don't Know About You But I'm Feeling -22

It's (finally) the first day of Spring and I couldn't be more thrilled. Before moving to Canada, I naively thought that growing up in the North West of England equipped me for the harsh Canadian winters. It turns out nothing can prepare you. At times it's been in the -20's which is NUTS!

Here are some pix from our garden just to give you an idea - brrrr!!

It's been a mad long winter so I'm delighted that warmer days are on the horizon. The countdown to our trip to the motherland, Greece, is also on. Eeep!

Happy St. Patrick's day kittens! 

This is me when I discovered Krispy Kreme donuts are green rn in Canada:

From my pancakes to my ig feed, there's been a sea of green ~ how adorable was Obama's post gushing about his love for Ireland and how on each St Paddy's day he's proud to call himself O'bama. Boy, I miss his wit and class.

P.S: Here's a guaranteed giggle for any fellow Brit readers:

How will you be celebrating?
