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
I love a bit of winter snow! It somehow manages to make everything appear more magical (in doubt – check out the castle in this post here). These photos are some of my favourites from driving around the country side, visiting family and shopping to stock up on my favourite German treats! 🙂 The houses … Continue Reading
Twas the night before Christmas…. The cat was getting drunk on mulled wine… Santa, all ready for Christmas, took a bit of time off for some festive golf… …before heading out to deliver presents! Unfortunately however, Rudolph wasn’t having any of it! So Santa had to resort to more creative ways to deliver the presents… … 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
Whilst visiting Hong Kong, we were trying to decide what to do (after a couple of days exploring the sights) and one of the things that came up was visiting the nearby country of Macau! Now while I can’t remember what the other option was, visiting Macau won clearly by a long mile so we … Continue Reading
After we left the Frost and Fire hotel, we headed straight for our next stop and a personal favourite of mine – Seljalandsfoss en-route to Hotel Skogafoss for lunch. Seljalandsfoss is the waterfall in Iceland where you can walk behind and I was excited to visit again. It’s safe to say Georgia was pretty fascinated … Continue Reading
The Hand Luggage Only way! 🙂 Recently, we got contacted about the potential of having a hassle-free day in London and like any true Londoner, I was initially sceptical. London is kinda synonymous with hassle. Yes, there are humongous upsides to being in London but I think it’s safe to say the average Londoner is … Continue Reading
After our climb up to Pulpit Rock, we finally arrive at the Scandic City Hotel Stavanger at about 1.30am, cold, exhausted but utterly and thoroughly satisfied! Needless to say, I fell asleep almost immediately! Breakfast the next day at the hotel was quite a fantastic and indulgent affair. Basically, there wasn’t anything that would classify as … Continue Reading
I do love a good getaway… especially to Bristol! In any case, off I’m out and about exploring Bristol in more detail this weekend and so far so good. I swear there’s just something about summertime in the UK generally that makes every city that extra bit special. I’ve been fairly relaxed all evening, chilling … Continue Reading
Afternoon naps are an amazing thing aren’t they? They leave you so refreshed and all geared up to explore the world! (Even when they last for just an hour). Spurred by this new found energy, we left the Isles of Scilly Country Guesthouse (which at this point was basking in the island sunshine and ventured out … Continue Reading
As with everywhere on this trip, we arrived in Rome in the dark cloak of night so the next morning, we were more than pleasantly surprised when we looked around us and saw the stunning rolling Roman hills beautifully contrasting that lovely blue sky! It’s definitely the right motivation you need to get you excited … Continue Reading
After leaving the secret beach and heading back to the hotel, I decided to dawdle around the hotel, cocktail and camera in hand. Or maybe it was wine? Aaaww who cares? It went down a treat with that sunset and that’s what truly matters. 😉 🙂 I figured I might as well take you on a little … Continue Reading
It’s safe to say that upon our return from “the secret beach” I was well and truly rested! I remember trying to throw in a quick instagram update and falling asleep. I don’t even think I’d composed two words in the caption before dozing off. Thankfully though I managed to get up on time for dinner! Random … Continue Reading
Straight after our afternoon sampling, all the Guinness storehouse had to offer (see part 1 here and part 2 here), we headed back to the hotel which was understandably rather festively decorated. Maybe I’d just been away from London for so long and missed it but it definitely seemed like the Irish (or at least … Continue Reading
