March Highlights

March Highlights

• Thursday, 2 April 2026

I cant believe it's April already, this year is flying by - it feels like yesterday I arrived back from Bali but that was four months ago now. March was an interesting month for me; big changes, new routines and I found it quite hard, but looking back on everything I did this month, it was actually quite a positive one. Funny how things feel better when you take a step back and look at the bigger picture. 

Dim Sum Masterclass

Another LOTI excursion; I headed Tao Tao Ju in Chinatown to attempt to make my own dim sum. It started well, with very simple custard buns, which was a good start considering the staff couldn't speak English but it went downhill from there. As the techniques became more and more intricate, my initial confidence quickly faded.

That being said, I enjoyed the experience very much, and even if the result wasn't quite the prettiest basket of dumplings I've ever seen, they were just as delicious.

My first 5K run

With the sun shining, I decided it was time for my first outdoor run! I'd been toying with the idea for a couple of weeks and when I woke up on Sunday with no immediate plans, I decided to give it a go and ran by the river for 32 minutes to be precise! My legs were sore, but I'm excited to try again! 

Eating Out

The sun came out for a few days at the start of the month and that was all the encouragement I needed to visit my favourite summer spot - Seabird! Apart from that, I ate at some awesome places this month. A visit to Annabel's, prompted a quick return for a repeat experience of one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. The Cadogan Arms on the King's road set the scene for one of the best roasts I've ever had - a sharing patter of lamb, beef and pork accompanied by copious glasses of champagne and a girls brunch meant I finally ticked off trying the croissant benedict at Fallow.  

Al Fresco Wine!!

As well as the food, there was a lot of wine consumed through March. I enjoyed a return to The Ship - showing new friends, an old favourite spot (walking distance home is a definite plus.) A sunset glass on a pedestrianised street that felt like mid summer in Europe; and my first (and second) glass of wine from the mini golf hut at the park with my neighbour!

Help! I've sexted my boss Live

Jordan and William have become a big part of my day to day routine so I really enjoyed the opportunity to see them live at Wembley as they took Help! I've sexted my boss on tour!

Roller Skating at the Barbican

It's been months since I've been able to go out skating, mostly because of the weather, but this indoor event, meant I could practice rain or shine. I headed out east to skate inside the Barbican centre which was pretty cool. It was a small rink, but I got there very early so I was able to take advantage of the space before it got busy. It was great to see some of the marshalls from Flippers, where I used to skate, running the event and they were really helpful in giving me some tips for my spins - which improved exponentially as the day went on! Plus I made a couple of new skating friends along the way!
