About Us

Hi there, we're Eleanor (or Ele) and D (or David), it's nice to meet you!




We met over 9 years ago when we were both at school, and have been a couple ever since! Here's a little more about us...

ELEANOR



Hi! I'm Eleanor, I'm 23, and you may already know me from That Is This and This is Heaven

I graduated from Leeds College of Art in 2010 with a degree in Fine Art, and am currently doing some postgraduate study into Autism! 

I love food, and would love to live on a farm one day, doing the Barbara and Tom thing and being self sufficient. You'll usually find me watching the Food Network, scouring Pinterest, or reading craft blogs, and I'm happiest in the kitchen, or behind a sewing machine



I'm in the process of launching my business, Paisley & Rae. I'll be selling my handmade wares online, and hopefully at various craft fairs around Norfolk as soon as possible. You can go and have a look at my website if you like, just click the logo:


I hope you'll enjoy getting to know us both more as we blog about our food adventure.

Much love, Eleanor

DAVID

Hello. My name is D. I am 25 and I love food, hence this blog I suppose! 


From the above you can see, I am a music producer.  I have a degree in Music Technology and a Masters degree in Music Production from Leeds Metropolitan University.  I now record music on a freelance basis and have worked with many different artists, from singer songwriters who want me to help them develop their songs on record to bands of a rock genre, to brass bands and orchestras. I also am an aspiring songwriter, who is hoping to write music for some of the more mainstream artists. I am also one of the areas only Apple Certified Logic Professionals, which means I know the software like the back of my hand.  I am also available to give workshops or lessons on any of the areas I know well.  I am currently studying towards a Certificate of Teachning in the Lifelong Learning Sector.  My work can be found here

I love food and music a heck of a lot, and my third love...guess I should say fourth to please someone...is Wilson.  Yes I partly mean the character from House, but mostly I mean my feathered companion.

Here he is eating millet, which is his favourite food.  I have had him since November 2011 when he was just sixteen weeks old.  He is a little monster, but an amazing friend.  He will climb on my hand and play with me all the time.  He is a Peach Faced Lovebird, but may be a Peach Face Olive Lovebird.  I am not sure which to be honest because there is so little difference, apart from the olive ones are more...olivey...and being colourblind I don't really know what that means!

A final passion of mine is of a fruity product and company: Apple. I am a bit of a fanboy, and have worked at Apple for eight months during my Masters.  I own an abnormal amount of products.  In fact I only don't own an Apple TV, an iPod Shuffle and a Mac Pro.

I collect children's literature, mainly books written by Roald Dahl and/or illustrated by Quentin Blake. I have well over 300 books by them both and also have a tattoo of the BFG, which is signed by Quentin Blake and tattooed over.


This is a picture of it. I also have six other tattoos, one is Matilda sat in a "D", I have the word "Create" on my leg, a skull and crossbones, a treble clef, a bass clef and a playing card.

I also enjoy magic and can do some. Think of a card....

I am also good with a diabolo and a yo-yo and have an ambition to eat fire and learn to ride a unicycle. 

Thats me pretty much so I will sign out now.

ps. Seven of Spades...no?  Damn.
