ABOUT OLIVIA

I'm Olivia, just your average 27 year old, living your not-so-average lifestyle aboard my narrowboat on the Trent & Mersey canal. I live with my husband, Rob and our Golden Retriever, Sid, who is my baby and the actual love of my life. Yes, there's space for my ever-growing shoe collection, and no, it doesn't get cold in winter.

By day, I go to work in a job that I love, as a marketing manager for a wedding company. I basically get to look at other peoples' wedding photos all day, and drink endless amounts of tea (Yorkshire, milk, 1 sugar). By night, there's nothing I love more than cooking up a storm in the kitchen and sitting down to watch something naff on the telly. Preferably either a serial crime drama with a female antagonist or any Rick Stein food documentary.

I've always loved writing. From short stories back in school, to starting up a Piczo website in my early teens, however I first began my blogging journey in 2010 with a fashion blog called The Fashion Diaries. I loved it, and it came with some pretty awesome perks, but I lost myself along the way - as does every young 20-something, right? Now as I approach my 30's (argh?!), I feel like it's time to give things another go. I have a love-hate relationship with the Internet, so I'm keeping this space as a good-vibes-only-zone; here, you'll find ramblings about food, travel, fashion, home life, and all of my favourite things, including but not limited to:

Discovering new restaurants all over the UK, trying the weirdest craft beer I can find, taking road trips in our Austin A40, a fair amount of home decor, and the odd changing-room selfie.

If you're not up for reading - do people still read blogs anyway?! - then come and say hello or give me a double-tap on Instagram, @oliviakatewainwright.
