Welcome

I’m on a mission to prove there’s more to Luton than just day time drunks and endless chicken shops.

The Luton Project is a guide of the very best that Luton has to offer from fantastic eateries to hidden hot spots you might not even know existed.

Can you guess what I got up to yesterday? 🤔🤔🤔⠀ ⠀ Yes that's right, I went AXE THROWING! 😵😵 ⠀ If you happened to read my latest blog, you will of noticed @arrowdox was on my list for things to do on Valentine's weekend and I just couldn't resist booking it for myself!⠀ ⠀ It was so much fun! I mean once I'd got the hang of it. There may have been a minor strop to begin with but I soon got into the swing of things. ⠀ ⠀ We had to come up with Axe Throwing names for the competitive part of the evening. My name was Hammer Head (not named by me), and you'll find me at the bottom of the leader board if you're interested. ⠀ Luckily for us, there were only one other couple on the Sunday so we had tonnes of practice. And yes there were axes thrown in all sorts of directions but thankfully no injuries. ⠀ ⠀ Being Valentine's weekend, the indoor throwing lanes were smothered with candles, roses and a chocolate axe to take home. The atmosphere was great and the hosts couldn't have been better! ⠀ ⠀ I would totally recommend it, even though it's a 15 minute journey out of Luton it's worth the trip. Check out today’s stories for my mad skills in action 🤭🤭😭 ⠀ Were there any negatives? Yes. Having to listen to my boyfriend repeat the fact that he'd won the challenge, the whole way home. ⠀ ⠀ _______________________________________________________ ⠀ #axethrowing #axethrowingampthill #arrowdox #valentines #valentinesweekend #luton #lutontowncentre #lutonblogger #loveluton #blogger #dunstable #bedfordshire #thelutonproject #valentinesday #valentinesdayinluton #february #thingstodoluton #ukblogger

NEW BLOG POST ALERT ♥️ ⠀ ⠀ "Another year of my boyfriend buying me flowers that look like they were chosen for my 85-year-old Nan.⠀ ⠀ Yay - Valentine's Day returns!"⠀ ⠀ Being the control freak that I am, I ALWAYS take control of any social plans when it comes to my relationship and this year is no different. ⠀ ⠀ And on my search for Valentine's activities, I found a fair few gems that I just had to share with you all. ⠀ ⠀ My new blog post has 5 Valentine's Weekend ideas in and around Luton ♥️⠀ ⠀ I think there's certainly at least one or two that you might not of heard of before, so certainly worth a look! ⠀ ⠀ Link is in the bio ✌️ Go take a read! 👀⠀ ⠀ #luton #lutontowncentre #lutonblogger #loveluton #blogger #dunstable #bedfordshire #thelutonproject #valentinesday #valentinesdayinluton #february #thingstodoluton #ukblogger @whitehorseteagreen @ladolcevitaluton

New year, new job! 🥳⠀ ⠀ For the past year I've been working in Milton Keynes and I'm so glad to be back working in Luton again and being closer to home! ⠀ ⠀ I start my new job next week which I'm really looking forward to but it's always annoying having to start a new routine. Especially going to the gym after 6pm, god help me now. Those machines need a reservation or something! ⠀ ⠀ But first, Krakow this weekend....✈️⠀ ⠀ I'll be uploading some stories from my travels over the weekend. It'll be the usual, me stuffing my face and walking so much my legs fall off. Enjoy ✌️

Heard of The Olde Watermill Village? 💡 ⠀ It's just the cutest place! 😍 ⠀ I was severely bored a few Sunday's ago and just had to get out of the house, so we decided to take a little drive here and have a stroll around. ⠀ ⠀ 📍 For those that haven't been, it's just past Brammingham on the A6. ⠀ ⠀ The village itself is filled with traders and mini shops. It reminded me of the Luton Market in that sense, however a lot more aesthetically pleasing. It's much more upmarket! (Not knocking the Luton Market, I go there a fair bit). But it is what it is guys. ⠀ ⠀ We managed to catch the last day of the Christmas sale and I was absolutely loving life. I get serious excitement over anything that Christmas and sparkly. ⠀ ⠀ The Christmas village had tonnes of festive decorations and gifts at really good prices. Everything was at least 50% off and I stocked up on a few things for this year. Nothing like starting early! ⠀ ⠀ There were so many decor bits I wanted to buy, but I'm in the process of house hunting and I have no clue on colour schemes, where things will go etc, so controlled myself on the buying...for now 😩⠀ ⠀ We popped into the coffee shop for a bite to eat but we were far to late in the day. I think they stopped serving around 3 or 4pm (worth checking, my memory is not the best). I was hoping for a roast turkey baguette but there was no hot food left. There's usually carvery options (Sunday's only), sandwiches, teas and cakes. I had a slice of red velvet cake which was nice enough and a luxury hot chocolate which was delicious. 🍰☕⠀ ⠀ To be honest I wish I had taken more photos to share but I was basically an over-excited child in the Christmas shop, so totally forgot about using the visit for content. I'll certainly go back in December for another mooch 🎅🏻

Wasn't sure on this when it first went up but it's starting to grow on me! 🤔⠀ ⠀ What do you think of it - yay or nay?⠀

Veganuary spot #1: MONSTERA CANTEEN 🌱⠀ ⠀ With Veganuary in full swing, I thought I'd mention a few of my favourite local spots to grab a Vegan bite to eat.⠀ ⠀ I'm not a full-time Vegan but I do make a conscious effort to choose Vegan where I can. I guess every little helps, right?⠀ ⠀ Of course, the number one hot spot on my list has to be @MonsteraCanteen. The only Vegan cafe in the whole of Luton!⠀ ⠀ Vegan never tasted so good 😍😍⠀ ⠀ I always try something totally random off the menu and have no clue what goes into it but it always tastes amazing.⠀ ⠀ Have you tried Monstera Canteen?⠀ ⠀ #luton #lutontowncentre #lutonblogger #blogger #dunstable #bedfordshire #vegan #vegancafe #monsteracanteen #veganism #veganfood #thelutonproject #ukblogger #bedfordshireblogger #veganuary #lutonvegan #veganmacandcheese #discoverunder5k #discoverunder2k #lutonfood

I managed to catch the sunset over Sharpenhoe Clappers last night and the views were unbelievable 🌤️😍⁣ ⁣ If you're looking for a winter walk then I thoroughly recommend. Over the past year I've become so much more active and I love to go for a walk to explore somewhere new. ⁣ ⁣ For those that need a little extra persuasion, there's a few cosy pubs in the area too. The Royal Oak and The Bull are both worth a look! ⁣ ⁣ How was your weekend? 😊⁣

Happy new year everyone! 🥂⁣ ⁣ Today marked the official day of Christmas being over ☹️ (for me, anyway). ⁣ ⁣ This is the first year in 8 years I’ve had more than 2 days off at Christmas. I feel so blessed to have had a week off to spend with family and really enjoy myself without having to rush back to work. ⁣ ⁣ I spent this morning at Wrest Park having a walk around the house and gardens 🌲 It would of been so easy to sit in bed all day watching Netflix, but I forced myself up to enjoy the day 💪🏻🤣⁣ ⁣ Here’s to a positive & productive 2020 🥂✌🏻⁣ ⠀⁣ #luton #lutontowncentre #lutonblogger #blogger #dunstable #bedfordshire #thelutonproject #happynewyear #2020 #wrestpark #winter
