Irene

Hello everyone!

I'm Irene and welcome to my shiny new blog.

Despite being called Irene, I'm not actually a little old lady. I'm in my mid-30s. It's a family name and I've' grown to love it, although most people do tend to call me ReeNee which has been a nickname since childhood. I've always been jealous of my little sister's name, Beatrice. She's known as Bee but always wanted to be Trixie; however it never took. Bee and Ree, that's us.

I live in Greater London with my boyfriend Nick and work as an Executive Assistant for the senior leadership team of a medical research facility. I have a BSc in Food Science & Nutrition, and the plan was to be a nutritionist but it turns out I'm really good at organising other people.

I am a huge bookworm, and love cozy mysteries. I'm currently re-reading a favourite series; the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries by Charlaine Harris. I also love the Hallmark movie series. And most things Hallmark, to be perfectly honest with you, especially the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. As well as Aurora Teagarden, I love the Garage Sale Mysteries. You can expect a lot of talk about those things here.

I also enjoy cooking, organisation and snuggling up with the boyfriend for a Netflix binge - if we can ever decide what to watch, because we have vastly different tastes. I am a Harry Potter nerd and have cats called Helga and Rowena. I love yoga, mindfulness & meditation. I enjoy writing and receiving letters, jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, wordsearches etc.

I've always wanted to try blogging so here I am!
