I love a good meal with a view! Food tastes so much nicer and wine goes down so much smoother when there’s a great view to accompany your meal. Arriving in Ho Chi Minh City (I’m just gonna refer to it now as HCMC), one of the top things recommended to do was to go … Continue Reading
**Update: This experience has now ended in London. This weekend we got to go check out Tongue Twister in London. Anyway, we rock up to the venue – which is the most colourful, Willy Wonka-esque set up in London and as soon as I saw, I instantly started getting excited. I’m a huge fan of anything … Continue Reading
A Burns night and the Burns poem is a national institution and something I became accustomed to during my time at university in St. Andrews, Scotland. Plus, the whole of Fife is stunning, so that made it really easy to fall in love with. It’s something that is celebrated with great flair and affection in … Continue Reading
Forget Champagne, Prosecco and Merlot, you can actually make your own delicious wine out of oak leaves! Yes, you read that correctly, oak leaves! Okay, so champagne cocktails and tipples are pretty fantastic but I’m sure you can squeeze some room into your wine drinking pallet for this little gem of a drink! Where Did Oak Leaf Wine … Continue Reading
This is something of an impromptu post to share some of the amazing and best restaurants in Vienna. All according to locals and reader recommendations. To be honest, I didn’t expect to write this post (and to be fair, I didn’t write most of it) but when we recently went to Vienna, I had no … Continue Reading
You always start off with grand plans – it’s gonna be all great, healthy balanced, fruit and vegetable-filled meals when you travel but somehow, hunger, desperation and food-envy lead you down the wrong path of eating the worst kind of food. This is great when you’re away from home for a few days or even … Continue Reading
It’s at least guaranteed to result in oodles of fun evening! If you’re not into food and/or drinks, you might wanna look away from this post. 🙂 When I’m not travelling, I can usually be found in 1 of 3 states – napping, eating or thinking about eating. I was in state 3 when I my mind wandered off … Continue Reading
This is one of those posts that took on a life of its own. It was just one of those days when you find yourself wandering around London with absolutely no plans whatsoever. The sun was shining (which, no matter how sunny it gets all summer, is still a big deal) and so I decided … Continue Reading
Wandering around Gdansk is understandably distracting (Reason 1 and Reason 2 are right here) and although we’d spotted where we were eventually going to have lunch hours before lunch, it wasn’t until I realised how much I needed to pee that I realised how hungry I was. 😂 I hurriedly dragged my motley crew of … Continue Reading
There’s nothing more I love about Christmas than being a little lazy… I’m not one for darting around all the shops, stressing about buying some ill thought out gift that will end up in the back of some drawer. Oh, and food too! Food at Christmas time, especially lazy food, is always guaranteed to make … Continue Reading
Okay, I know this is technically not food but this Chilli Lemonade recipe is kinda food related, low calorie and it’s an easy enough drinks-hack that I’m just gonna put it up anyway. 🙂 Last summer, London got unbelievably hot and my flat being up on the 20th floor tended to get water that had … Continue Reading
One of the most vital parts of any trip to Singapore is to get yourself a Singapore Sling! For those who don’t know what it is don’t fret, it’s not a sling of more ‘adult’ type.. Hehe! A Singapore Sling is a cocktail! There is so much history behind the Singapore Sling and it is probably one … Continue Reading
It wasn’t really ‘a day’ as much as it was ‘an evening’ as we had to hurriedly drop the car at the airport in Pisa and make our way over to Florence via other means. This was by bus to be exact. See, the train has issues, it kinda works but you still have to … Continue Reading
After a rather cloudy but ridiculously beautiful day in Tresco, the sun upped its game the next day and we headed off to go explore another island we’d wanted to for a while – St Agnes! This meant sailing past an old favourite – Bryher… …with Lloyd pretending (to himself mostly) that he was the … Continue Reading
