10 Things you probably don’t know about us

We're quite cagey when it comes to people 'knowing' us buuuut this is all part and parcel of having a blog so we're going out of comfort zone and letting you all know a few little facts we're pretty sure you wouldn't otherwise know!

1. Our Race. 

We are proudly mixed race (mama is Kenyan and dad English) We think it’s quite clear to tell - especially when we were little and had cute lil afros but we’ve been mistaken for lots of different nationalities over the years; Polynesian, Ethiopian and Hispanic just to name a few! (Really funny story involving Lorraine being mistaken for Latina - we’ll tell another time)

2. Lived abroad

Ghana and Indonesia plus got to spend summers in Vietnam and St. Lucia – we'd travelled to over 15 countries each before we turned 10. Our dad was a Civil Engineer and we were super blessed to have the opportunity to move as a family or spend summers wherever dad was working. 

3. Both work in Clinical Research 

Yes sometimes we adult

4. Amy is learning Japanese. 

Not just a pretty face folks but don’t get too excited she refuses to let anyone, apart from her class, hear her speak it aloud. 

5. We have 4 dogs

3 of which are puppies! All of our babies are German Shepherd breed so as you can imagine no-one really likes to venture past the gate, @@ delivery boys  

6. Combined we’ve been to 10 festivals 

I mean you can probably guess by all the ‘review/guide’ posts but still we’re not joking when we say we’re addicted! 

7. We have different accents. 

Amy’s accent is majority Southern with a few Northern words whilst Lorraine has a lot stronger Northern accent (we moved down when she was 18 so it’s to be expected lol) Having said this, when we’re drunk or experiencing extreme emotions eg. Anger or excitement we revert back to Northern

8. Our dream cars

Amy cream Bentley, Lorraine matte black Audi R8 

GO BIG OR GO HOME 

9. We’ve eaten Alligator, Zebra and Ostrich. 

In the capital of Kenya; Nairobi there is an amazing open air restaurant called Carnivore which basically follows it’s namesake and caters for all the meat eaters. Carnivore have various kinds of meat ranging from the norm like steak all the way to Alligator and they’ll come over to your table and serve whatever takes your fancy! Cocktails are lush here and it also turns into a club on certain nights.
