    Projects Goal Update: 2026-2027.

    My Autumn/Winter 2026 Goals

    The rest of 2026 is about getting my creative foundations in place.

    I’m continuing to develop my presenting, filming and editing skills, while working towards being ready for my January 2027 launch.

    I’m continuing to develop my musical, with the aim of moving closer to a completed script during 2027.

    I’m preparing my crime series behind the scenes, ready to begin writing in January.

    My Substack and blog will take a quieter role, with anything further being occasional rather than a major focus.

    My other creative projects and wider presenting ambitions will remain safely parked until the right time.

    My goal isn’t to do everything at once. I want to finish 2026 with a clear direction, fewer loose ends and the right projects ready for their next stage.

    My Spring 2027 Goals

    2027 is where some of the preparation starts becoming reality.

    I’ll launch my new series and continue developing my confidence and skills as a presenter.

    I’ll begin writing my crime series using everything I’ve already developed in my story bible.

    I’ll continue the serious development of my musical and work towards completing the script.

    I’ll keep my blog and Substack alive when I have something I genuinely want to say, without putting unnecessary pressure on myself.

    Most importantly, I want 2027 to be about building on what I’ve already created rather than constantly starting something new.

    2026 is about preparation.
    2027 is about bringing those plans to life.

  • Blogging,  Food & Drink

    My journey with food, & beyond.

    I have been musing about what to add on my blog and I thought why not Food & Drink? Let me take you on a journey as to why I love this topic so much…

    Lovely steak at Brewers Fayre

    When I was a child I loved going out to places and loved to eat a lot. A favourite place I used to love in Cardiff Bay was a fish and chip restaurant centred next to Techniquest. It was a lovely place and it had some memories I will treasure forever of going there with my dearly beloved nan.

    Scroll on to 2000s, I was an anti-food snob and barely ate anything but ready meals and the so. There was a period of time that during my teens I just wanted to eat & go out. I didn’t appreciate either my mother’s home cooking or where we went to eat, I had no idea about money or what food costs.

    Since 2015, I have started to really enjoy tasty food. Yes I have gained weight (about a stone… or two) but it can’t put a price on the happiness I feel when presented with a tasty meal. I have, in the last few years, tried a few different areas, and other places such as Cardiff & small vintage inns or local pubs & restaurants nearby.

    I have found some unique menus with options including fish, meat, pasta & salad. Although I am not a vegetarian I am going to pledge to look at 1 vegetarian for every 4 meat dishes on my blog. I will be showing you the dishes that I love. I would not describe myself as a critic but more a lover of food.

    Please join me on this new journey where I will show you both new & old places to eat in South Wales (UK). I’m sure many people have heard of places like Toby Carvery & Jamie’s Italian but I want to show you places that many don’t know even exist. Join me & fall in love with food again!
