I promise I wrote this post a few days ago, but today’s big cloud outage is a perfect example of why creators should be considering getting a blog started again, but if you’d like a bit more detail, I put my thoughts down on my site

The Kraken are back on the ice, the Mariners are marching on to the ALCS, and Seahawks Sundays are in full swing. Need a stylish clear bag that actually meets the arena rules? I’ve got you with my guide over on the blog. Link in bio, and save this for game day! 🏒⚾️🏈

We’ve toured Climate Pledge Arena twice now, and it turns out it's more than a hockey arena!

My sister didn’t visit the US between 1998 and 2022, and when we finally got her out here, we took her straight from an 11-hour flight to a Kraken game and created a hockey-loving monster. She’s been back every six months since, so we’ve done most of the usual touristy things. The CPA tours have been a favourite though, we’ve done both a game day and non-game day tour for a good mix.

Each tour follows a slightly different route. The game day one was shorter because some areas were restricted, but we still saw plenty of rarely seen spaces (did you know Climate Pledge Arena has its own recording studio?) and we went from the depths of the arena right up top to the press bridge (how fun would it be to watch a game up there!)

On the non-game day tour, we were able to sit on the Kraken bench and walk down the corridor the players use. We couldn’t go into the locker room since it was still hockey season, but we did get to peek inside.

The WNBA season wasn’t in session when we visited, so we went in their locker room and also saw where the future NBA locker room will be for when Seattle gets a team again. That tour wrapped up in the owners’ suite, an incredible spot to watch a game (Alex and I saw the Foo Fighters from another suite & it was amazing!)

I really liked how much the guides tied everything back to the sustainability of the property. CPA is the world’s first net-zero carbon arena - they use rainwater from the roof to make the ice, they’ve banned single-use plastics, and even the food is sourced locally. It makes the tours feel like more than just trivia, you can see how a venue this size can be part of the bigger conversation on climate.

This got a bit long, but if you’re a fan of any of our teams that play there (and that includes the PWHL team who will be playing there in their inaugural season coming up!) then its a fun way to spend a few hours

If you had the choice, would you go for the game day tour or the non-game day one?

Had to break my no-feed streak for this one…Yester

Had to break my no-feed streak for this one…Yesterday we headed over to Little Beast in Ballard for a roast dinner - I have not been able to find anywhere in the Seattle area that does a roast in the 8 years we’ve been here, and for some reason I haven’t had a roast either of the times we’ve been back to the UK, so as you can imagine, this was pretty exciting!

I don’t do roast pork at home, partly because we never really had it growing up and partly because I could never do such beautiful crackling (which let’s face it, is the best part) so I was even happier to see this on the menu with roast beef (which looked so good, but there was no way I was sharing the #porks goodness). The roasts came with enormous Yorkshire puddings (and yes, we totally ordered more because who doesn’t love Yorkshires? Monsters, that’s who), peas, roast potato, and cabbage.

We also ordered Scotch eggs (a favorite in this house, I have made duck ones before which were epic but they are so much work, so I appreciate when I can buy them!), a delicious tomato salad, and some grilled bread with herby butter…everything was so good! I was so full by the end that I wasn’t too sad that the dessert I chose had run out, but the Eton Mess everyone else had looked great (and I’m now thinking about making meringue to do my own next week!)

Drinks-wise, I had a Pimms (which had ginger in, not something I have done before because I’m basic and just do it with Sprite, but it was good!) and Alex had an Old Speckled Hen which is a UK beer that I’ve not seen over here before!

One of the things I really dislike about the US is how British food gets unfairly labeled as bland and boring, but Little Beast proves that even “simple” food can be incredibly delicious.

Hi there! 👋

I recently realised it’s been years since I properly introduced myself here. If you’re new (or just forgot who I am because I barely post 😅), hello again!

I’m Hayley - a Brit living just outside Seattle with my husband, Alex, and our three chaotic (but very cute) dogs. I started this account ages ago to share outfits, life bits, and things I was loving. These days, it’s evolved into a bit of everything, really.

I’m trying to break out of my homebody era and meet more lovely people - so if you’re nearby and up for a low-key hang, especially if you know a good spot with a decent brew - count me in!

A few fun things about me:
🫖 I’ll always choose tea over coffee (but still love a good coffee shop)
📍 I live just outside Redmond, but I still hate driving in downtown Seattle (to be fair, I only learned to drive a month before moving to the US in 2017!)
💻 I’ve been blogging since 2000… I know. (hi, ceriselle.org 💜)
🐶 If you follow me for aesthetic content, just know there’s probably a dog snoring off-camera (when they’re not trying to get in the photo, obviously)
🎙️ I try to keep my accent toned down, but it definitely gets stronger when I’m excited

If you’re into low-pressure, cozy content from someone who’s mostly making it up as she goes - welcome! 💜

Tell me something fun about you in the comments - or just say hi! I’d genuinely love to hear a little about you too.

Last month was the first time we’d been back in the UK for a proper visit since moving in 2017, and it was so good to see everyone but nothing makes me feel like I’m home quite like seeing the Eastgate Clock.

We went back for just over a week, and fitted in visiting as many friends as possible, which meant driving from London > Bath > Devon > Aberystwyth > Chester > London ... well, I didn't get to drive but you know what I mean!
