It’s been a hot minute since I sent you a postcard, and I’ve really missed writing the Everyday Adventure Club! So, I thought I’d start back with the first in a weekly series called the weekly report (totally taken from the weekly R.E.P.O.R.T posts that you see on TikTok and I love!).
So, as well as sending you postcards from different microadventures and travels, this Friday edition will include book, film, music and t recommendations, coffee shop stops in the lakes and be more of a lifestyle post - so I hope you enjoy!

Reading : After being in a bit of a reading rut, there’s two books I’ve started reading this week. The first being Outpost 9 that’s a sci-fi esque book that I’m really enjoying. The second is The Artists Way as I’m determined to use this summer to unlock some creativity. I’ve even got two friends on board and we have a little Artists Way whatsapp group to hold each other accountable!
Eating : It’s no secret that I love finding cool independent places. Last Sunday I headed to Newcastle to see some pals, and we went to this little cafe in Exhibition Park, Urban Green Cafe. It’s here that I was introduced to the Stozza which might just be the greatest sandwich of all time. It’s a stottie/pizza combo - so in your toasted stottie you’ve got tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni and it is oh so good!
Playing : my family are currently in the process of moving house, and it is stressful. However, the house we’re hopefully moving to is a doer upper and this week I’ve been playing interior designer at Wren Kitchens! I didn’t realise that they had VR headsets so after 2 hours of being with the designer, we got to put the headset on and play in our new kitchen and it’s so cool! Now we just need to get moved and start building!
Obsessing : It’s officially 2 weeks today until I see Taylor Swift and I can’t put into words how excited I am. So I’m currently obsessing over the eras tour, getting prepped and having the playlist on repeat!
Recommending : I’ve been rewatching Modern Family from start to finish, as my mum had never seen it before, and I’d forgotten just how much I love this show! But that’s not actually my main recommendation (although there isn’t a bad episode, and you really should watch it!). My recommendation this week is a podcast, hosted by Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitch on MF), called Dinner’s on Me. It’s just two people, going for dinner and having a chat and it’s such a lovely podcast!
Treating : Get a wrap, butter on some mustard and mayo. Add some ham and grated cheese. Wrap it up. Pop it in the airfryer for 4-5 minutes. You’re welcome.
And we’re back. I’m really excited to share more on here over the next few weeks and months, and I’ve got some fun things I want to share with you as part of it.
So thanks for sticking around and I’ll be back in your inbox soon
