Back in September, on a windy, brisk day, Phil and I headed to Southend-on-Sea to film our television debuts, and more importantly hug and stare at Jamie Oliver. I did more of the hugging and staring, as Phil shone on camera. I haven’t been able to write about the day yet due to the fact more »
This week I am on a pescetarian voyage to cleanse my insides and improve my general wellbeing. Side note – while reading up on this I found another term for it: “vegequarian” which I fucking love!
