Brunch at My Delhi

Every since I wrote our latest Best Bottomless Brunches in Newcastle guide, I’ve been dreaming about the Butter Chicken Fondue from My Delhi which is on their brunch menu. Last week, my prayers were answered and it was everything I’d hoped it would be. This is a great bottomless bruch spot if you’re looking for great quality food. The vibes are pretty casual, in a good way, staff are fantastic, cocktails are delish and the main thing – your glass is never empty…

Checking out Friki Tiki

Painting obsession

I’m in full house renovation mode now and I’m at the stage where I’m finally getting paint on the walls and seeing progress. This month has been focussed on the kitchen. I used Quartsize to overlay quartz on top of the wooden worktops, and Rust-oleum paint in Ink Blue to update the cupboard doors – I’m so happy with the result as it has completley transformed the kitchen. I’ve decided to use Duvet Day by COAT Paints throughout the whole house which is going on a dream with just one coat.

Spring in Jesmond

Between decorating and working I’ve become quite a home-bod this past couple of months. Being able to step out of my doorstep into Exhibition Park is giving me such relief when I take time for a break. When the sky is blue or the sun is setting over the Town Moor, I feel so grateful to live in this part of the world.
