ABOUT ME
HI, IT'S ALICIA, WELCOME TO PINSTRIPE PYJAMAS
YOUR WEEKLY DOSE OF NEWS & VIEWS
Thanks for stopping by! I am so excited to finally launch my blog Pinstripe Pyjamas, it has been a long time in the thinking. However lockdown inspired me to create a space online where I can muse, share my views and inspire people to find their inner chef! A weird combo perhaps, but they're all the things I love doing in life. The content is snackable, updated weekly and hopefully has something for everyone - all with a dollop of light-hearted fun. Thanks for visiting, find out more about me here.

EMMA RADUCANU: A BRITISH HERO, BUT FOR HOW LONG?
14TH SEPTEMBER 2021
There's a name on everyone's lips right now. The young star that has risen the ranks in unbelievable style. Emma Raducanu. There is so much to be jubilant about after her surreal US grand slam win. Yes, she didn’t drop a set and won the tournament after having come through qualifiers but beyond that; she’s a woman, she’s young, has a diverse heritage, and heralds from Bromley in the UK. Her story has been so very ordinary to this point. But her future looks set to be the polar opposite.
COOKING
THE MAGIC OF DUNESFORDE - THE UK'S MOST NORTHERLY VINEYARD
21ST JUNE 2021
York has always been a second home for me. I guess any town or city where you spend three years of your life as an impressionable young student has that effect on you. But how times have changed from my student days. Instead of hopping on down to the nearest ‘offy’ (off licence for the more civilised amongst you) for three bottles of Kumala for a tenner, here I was at a gorgeous family-run vineyard in the Vale of York – Dunesforde.
COMMUNICATIONS
STOP, LOOK, LISTEN - MY RECENT ARTICLE FOR THE BLUEPRINT
7TH JUNE 2021
The art of listening.
Sound easy enough right? We do it all the time. But…do we actually listen, listen? By that I mean, really open yourself up to discomfort, because listening is hard! Here are my thoughts on The Blueprint's website.
