Twickenham being the home of rugby is the venue for this fantastic line up of games, made even more memorable to fans in the stadium with the new East Stand open just in time! As you can imagine, the Quilter Internationals is the biggest event on the rugby calendar for 2018 and one of the biggest things to look forward to is England facing the All Blacks for the first time in four years! It doesn’t get much bigger or better than the Quilter Internationals and if you’re one of the lucky ones to get your hands on a ticket, you’re guaranteed a day to remember for a long time! One year I’ll return but this year I’ll be glued to the screen watching it in the comfort of my own home, wishing I was back at Twickenham cheering on our boys from the stands!

When given the opportunity to work with a well known brand to review a clean cut, well made shoe, I’m not going to say no! I have seen the Oli x Oliver brand around for a couple of months and recently got my hands on a pair! A very versatile trainer that I have worn out for dinner in the evenings, whilst being able to also wear them for a walk around the city. I’m a big fan of the three stitches next to the heel with the small gold logo, a great touch and an immediate eye grabber.

I’ve used Persil laundry detergent ever since moving out years ago and when given to chance to try out new Persil Powercaps it was a no brainer! (who doesn’t want their tshirts back to the original whites they once were? ) This means my clothes are often getting stained with all sorts of day to day/dog related mud, so I’m often trying different detergents to get my clothes back to their original look. The ease of having stain removal, material care and a fresh scent all in one little pod makes my whole laundry cycle way quicker than it’s ever been! These helpful pods have three times the usual detergent power in just one pod, which leaves me time to spend on things I’d rather be doing other than laundry!

The die hards make Twickenham a day to remember, treating friends and family to VIP boxes, restaurants and some of the best seats in the stadium! The stadium itself has stood since 1908 in numerous forms, but it wasn’t until 2016 that the first sporting event other than rugby was held there when NFL held a game. Twickenham isn’t just an iconic sporting ground, it is also home to the World Rugby Museum which attracts visitors from all corners of the world. The Twickenham World Rugby Museum has the one of if not the most extensive collection of rugby football memorabilia in the world!
