Let’s play a fun little game. Or at least what I’d like to think of as a full little game. 😉 It’s not a serious post or anything of the sort, I’m just genuinely intrigued to find out which options you’ll choose! On some level, I think it may be a version of a sanity … Continue Reading

My love affair with Italy is long-standing and so very strong – it’s like every trip back there keeps drawing me even more.

It comes as no surprise that I’m a sucker for a beautiful old buildings and they don’t come much older or much more beautiful than Palaces. The funny things about Palaces is that as grand and impressive as they are, in a roundabout way, they’re also very unpretentious. How? Well, they were built to impress … Continue Reading

After a drive from London to Bath (via Stonehenge and Salisbury), I was pretty ravenous. I didn’t even think to pack snacks in the car (rookie mistake) so there was nothing throughout the journey over to take the edge off the hungry rumbling in my tummy (asides a cheeky pasty at Stonehenge). As soon as … Continue Reading
Leaving the beautiful ancient city of Jerusalem, our next stop on the trip was an area here’s a bit of a contentious issue (to put it lightly) – The West Bank.
