Moving to a different country can be one of the most exciting yet most daunting things a person can do! I have been fortunate enough to have lived, both in different countries and in vastly different cities in these different countries (I’ve lived in Africa, Europe and Asia) and can definitely say that over time, … Continue Reading
I’ve been craving pies lately. Okay, I know this is nothing new (I always crave pie!) but this time I found myself near the supermarket and thought -why not? I’ll make a pie today. I like all kinds of pies… except pies with mushrooms in it – I just can’t get aboard the mushroom bandwagon, … Continue Reading
Some of the best destinations to visit sometimes are those places that are so far away that very few people have ever thought to venture to. One of the biggest attractions in getting off the grid to these remote destinations is that you can visit them with very few preconceived notions of what they’re like,e … Continue Reading
I know this isn’t our typical post and you’d be right. This is more of a personal post but I have been overwhelmed by messages of congratulations on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter about my graduation from The University of Cambridge this weekend that I just had to share the full set of photos with you! It … Continue Reading
Swiftly following on from our time in Oia and Fira, we woke up bright and early for our early morning pick up by George from Santorini Tours. The tour was bespoke and so no concrete plans were made without speaking to us first. Having just been to Oia and Fira, we pretty much said we’d … Continue Reading
The Hebrides are an archipelago off the coast of Scotland (essentially they’re Scottish islands, or at least that’s how I like to think of them) and they’re absolutely amazing! Rather than explain in a long-winded, roundabout way why you have to go visit them – I figured I’d show you! 1.) That Landscape 2.) These … Continue Reading
It is probably safe to say that our trip to Santorini was one that we had been looking forward to for quite a while! While I want to tell you amazing stories of how we went out exploring immediately we arrived and soaked up the culture and all that amazing stuff, alas, most of us … Continue Reading
Yes, Manly is the name of a real place and the inspiration behind it is because of Capt. Arthur Phillip. Yes, I don’t really know who he is either. though apparently (we were told) the locals looked quite manly and so he thought the name apt. To get to Manly from the city centre of … Continue Reading
There is more inspiration in these homes than you can shake a stick at! I would like to have a version of every single one of these in my dream home (or at least element of each). I’m basically in “home lust” now… (Google it, “home lust” is definitely a legit thing. 😉 ) … Continue Reading
The Cotswolds is the epitome of quaint British beauty! The rolling hills and meadows always make for a welcome distraction from the manic-ness that is London and this is even more so when you get to celebrate your the union of your friends (this is my roundabout way of saying I went to the Cotswolds … Continue Reading
There are so many beautiful places in Switzerland. The name alone conjures up thoughts of the finest chocolates, flashy watches, some hardcore neutrality and bank accounts with more zeros than you can imagine write. 💰 Yup, the Swiss have definitely got the luxury niche covered on all fronts but there’s so much more to Switzerland … Continue Reading
I have a confession to make. I have never been skiing. Initially, I just couldn’t be arsed with the cold – actually, that coupled with the fact that I’m not the most graceful person on ice generally put me off wanting to ski. Over the past few years, the desire to ski has grown in … Continue Reading
I feel like it’s a safe assumption to make that you already know by now that we spent a rather long weekend in Gipuzkoa (which is in the Spanish Basque Country). There is a lot to tell you and so as you can imagine, this is a picture heavy post but I feel this is … Continue Reading
This is us. Halloween 2013. Okay, this is not my typical type of post but Halloween is right around the corner and it’s something of a party emergency! 🙂 Every year it creeps up on me – obliviously enjoying my October until… Wham! The dreaded word starts to appear everywhere from all my friends (and … Continue Reading
