Washington

Washington State has been home since I moved to the U.S. — a place where mountain views meet city life, and cosy neighbourhoods sit just beyond the bustle of Seattle. From exploring the Eastside to sharing everyday moments as a British expat, I’ve gathered my posts here to give a glimpse into life in the Evergreen State. Whether it’s style inspiration, local coffee shops, or discovering what makes Washington unique, this is where it all comes together.

    Sorry not sorry for even more sky photos in your timeline. I took the last photo lying down in my driveway at midnight wearing my pj’s. I really hope the neighbours didn’t see me. #northernlights #auroraborealis #seattleblogger #basicbitchonabandwagon

    Cake for breakfast? Say less.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hadn’t visited @ladymcakes before, but when @mynameisaiko invited me to be her +1 at a preview event, how could I say no? We sampled the newest flavours, which include Rose, Strawberry (probably my favourite!),…

    This is 40 (somehow, because I still feel like I just finished uni a few years ago) 40 always seemed like such a big age, even up to last week, so I’m not sure how I’m grown up enough to…

    First big electric car trip done last weekend (after 6 years of owning electric cars ). Walla Walla was so fun, less fun was the single stone that chipped the Rivian windscreen so badly that it needs to be replaced….

    New (to us) favourite sushi place in Bellevue – @kurasushi_usa. It’s like Yo! Sushi back home with the conveyor belt, but so much better with a screen to order from, an automated delivery service (second belt above the main one…
