    LET’S CAUSE A LITTLE TOM FOOLERY | QUEENBEADY

    Processed with VSCO with hb2 preset

    Our local village has become a thriving little place to be. Boston Spa was always considered as either for the rich and stuffy, or the working class. There was no in between. With the demise of local eateries and a few pubs, our village began to look a little desolate. Fast forward a few years later and the high street is now filled with gorgeous new spots where I can a) get my coffee fix and b) EAT ALL THE BRUNCH. Because we all know how much I love brunch. Regeneration is fabulous thing and we are reaping the benefits because that is where Tom Foolery comes in.

    ROME IN INSTAGRAM SQUARES | QUEENBEADY

    I don’t know why I’ve not done this before. Instagram is such a huge part of my life & blog that it strikes me as odd that I’ve never done any travel posts like this. Instagram is such a great tool for sharing snippets out of your day, be it fashion outfits, travel experiences or even a banging avo on toast post (I’m a poet, don’t I know it) and recently when I headed to Rome I could not stop myself from snapping away all the amazing sights that the beautiful, historic city has to offer.

    This Christmas both Mr C & I managed to wangle the full week off. HALLELOOOO. That means a full week of indulging in all things fine (and terribly unhealthy) whilst enjoying one another’s company (which has been divine if I may say so myself.) So naturally, when we were invited to spend a tab of £50 at Jamie’s Italian in Leeds this week we of course said yes. What can I say, we just enjoy food so much. So for anyone who doesn’t know, Jamie’s Italian was founded by Jamie Oliver and his Italian mentor, chef Gennaro Contaldo, back in 2008, with the first restaurant in Oxford. Now they have more than 60 restaurants worldwide with even more in the pipeline.

  • FOOD HEAVEN AT ANGELICA’S, LEEDS | QUEENBEADY

    FOOD HEAVEN AT ANGELICA’S, LEEDS | QUEENBEADY

    Okay, so the title is pretty much the biggest spoiler alert you could have when it comes to blog post spoilers but I do hope that my in depth account is one that still encourages you to go try it out yourself, too. I was recently invited to Angelica’s, which is situated at the top of the Trinity Centre in the centre of Leeds, to review their short yet tantalising menu. We slipped straight up in the lift to the 6th floor to be greeted by the pleasant staff and the panoramic views of Leeds through the floor to ceiling windows. The perfect spot for a mid-afternoon, post-shopping cocktail. I armed myself with an Angelica’s Autumn Punch which is vodka, fraise de bois, fraise liquor, raspberries and topped with prosecco. The perfectly zingy drink was all I was expecting and more. James chose the Yorkshire Lager, which is in fact brewed in a little village called Cropton. For something that was more like a pale ale, it was actually really tasty, something that really surprised me.

    When mid September comes round you can normally kiss goodbye to festival season. The likes of Glastonbury, Leeds Festival and V Fest are all distant memories of this years coup of music fun. So thank God, for OnRoundhay! Leeds latest festival offers a stellar line up, food to keep everyone’s tums happy and complete with a dedicated children’s area making it a fun filled day for all the family. How cute? And because of the sudden heatwave it gave me a great opportunity to wear this fab dress from Trendeo too, the ultimate festival dress.
