Hi and welcome to Lolly’s Secrets!!! I'm so glad that you decided to come on over and read some of my posts! This is my first post so I’m a bit nervous! But I would like to thank you so much for exploring my blog and my thoughts! So why did I decide to start blogging? I remember telling friends and family “listen… I think I'm going to start a blog” . Some were like  “finally! somewhere for you to put all those "funny" thoughts!” and others were just like “oh!”  (raised eyebrow) and they were so confused like “you really want to start a blog?”. “why would you want to do that?”, “why would you want to air all your dirty laundry”... “All your “secrets”?!”, “Gosh! I couldn’t do that! It’s such an invasion of privacy” .  I thought about all of this and went back and forth trying to make up my mind whether I should or shouldn't go ahead with it. In the end, I just decided, you know what?, why the hell not? Why not start a blog? Why not share the thoughts that go on in...

Brunching with Pie Minister You know the only decent pie restaurant on the highstreet right now? They’ve only gone and launched a bottomless brunch haven’t that. Needless to say I was pretty chuffed to be invited to indulge in the dreamy combo of brunch pies and a tipple or two. Or three. Or y’know, leaving feeling pretty tipsy on a Saturday afternoon. I headed to the Leeds restaurant with one of my best gals, Jenna, (she’s a friend from way back in primary school), for a catch up, carbs and some Saturday fizz. We were there to review, but at £20 a person for 90 minutes, I’d say that it’s probably the best value bottomless brunch deal in Leeds right now. For that, you get a brunch main and bottomless prosecco, Aperol Spritz, Mimosas or Bloody Marys. Oh hello you delightful combo. We both started off with an Aperol Spritz each as neither of us had tried it before but I decided to move onto prosecco and Jenna switched to mimosas. I must admit, I was impressed with the service as a lot o...

Escape Hunt UK - Leeds The Light Escape rooms are officially my new favourite thing. Escape Hunt recently launched in The Light in Leeds with a World War Two themed room called Our Finest Hour which I was invited down to review (you can read that here ), and they just launched a second room called The Fourth Samurai which is a Japanese theme. Naturally when I saw that it was launching, I jumped at the chance of trying out the second room, but this time, going head to head. The first time we went, we attempted the room in a group of six, which meant that at times, we were more than a little frantic but worked well together as a team to escape the room with a couple of minutes to spare. This time, we worked in teams of three – as there are two rooms which are identical, it’s a great opportunity to bring in a little competition. I’d say friendly competition but we were definitely very competitive! I teamed up with Hannah and Juan and we were against Hollie , Maz and Luke . The three of...
