… and I’m not typically a burger person but more on that later. But before we get started, I’m gonna recommend that you honker down with a nice cuppa tea (or perhaps even a margarita) as this is a rather photo heavy post. 😉 One of my favourite parts of living in Central London is being … Continue Reading
It probably comes as no surprise to you that I love photography. I love being out and about and taking photos – especially so when travelling as my love for photography seems to materialise into something real because I then find a purpose to indulge in my hobby (even though the bulk of that is … Continue Reading
This is one of those posts that kinda doesn’t fit anywhere but we won’t let that stop us now will we? 😉 Yeah, I know it’s not travel related per se and neither is it home or food related (though I wish it was food related – I’m starving right now) but I keep making … Continue Reading
Alhambra is a palace in Spain and it is truly magnificent. Being centuries-old, having its origins back in 889, it’s an amazing piece of architecture. As you can imagine, of course, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage site (and rightly so) and a source of inspiration and awe for visitors to Spain from all … Continue Reading
Photography has moved by leaps and bounds in recent years and even just 7 years ago, you wouldn’t think of using your phone as your main photography tool but these days, phone photography pretty much dominates the bulk of photos shared on social media. Granted mine are photos of mundane cr*p like my inability to … Continue Reading
Visiting Paris is one of those epic travel experiences that can quickly spiral into a spending nightmare if you don’t keep an eye on your spending. It can all add up with the likes of all the best places in Paris to see, yummy restaurants and tours. So, to help keep costs down, I want … Continue Reading
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
This is what happens when you put three people with no plans or agenda for the day. We weren’t even in Rhode Island and didn’t know anyone there. We woke up on a sunny day in Boston and decided on a whim to take a train anywhere. Maine and New Hampshire were bandied around before … Continue Reading
Because half of the fun is about getting the stuff you want, not the stuff that you need! 1.) The iKettle: You can control this kettle using your phone! No more standing around in the kitchen waiting around like a for your first drops of caffeine. You can just pop the kettle on as soon … Continue Reading
1.) Trying to justify the ridiculously high price you paid for that cocktail. (“It was just £17, which is really good when you think about it…” No… it isn’t. 🙂 ) 2.) Throwing all the rules of decency out of the window when a free seat opens up on a crowded train 3.) Thinking that … Continue Reading
“I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” Mark Twain The worst thing about being a tourist is having other tourists recognise you as a tourist. Russell Baker People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the … Continue Reading
After an amazing time exploring the islands in Phang Nga Bay (see posts here and here), it was fair to say that by the time we got back to the mainland, we were knackered! It was quite surprising because we didn’t actually feel tired until we got to the hotel and even though we planned … Continue Reading
When I put up a “photo diary” I usually try to focus on saying less and “letting the photos do the talking” but before you know it, I end up blabbering away! This time however I’m going to try to be better and shut up from the get-go. I do feel like I need to … Continue Reading
Hi! I’ve been meaning to put a quick update about the travel plans we have confirmed so far for this year. We’ve booked plans for just the first few weeks of the year so far which is exciting as that means there’s still a lot of room on the calendar to visit more places! I … Continue Reading
