I’ll be the first to admit, before moving to live in Singapore, I can’t say I knew much about this tiny country. I had a friend living there who gave me a quick low-down on what areas to look for apartments in and told me how safe it all was…etc but that was about it. I … Continue Reading

Photography is an art form in itself I believe and so it doesn’t, nor should it, comply with rules. Some people say things like always take photos with your back against the sun (so that your subject is properly illuminated) but I have seen very powerful and moving photos where the opposite of that advice … Continue Reading

We arrived back at the Wood Norton (after our little spin around the Cotswolds in that amazing Morgan) a tad too early for dinner and decided to head to the bar for a bit of light pre-dinner refreshment i.e. cocktails. The Espresso Martini is quite famous here and after a little (i.e. no) persuasion, I … Continue Reading
I’m a sucker for anything sweet! Dip it in chocolate, bake it, fill it with cream and I’m almost guaranteed to devour it. Living in London, in sooooo many ways, spoils you. There’s literally somewhere new, delicious and exciting to visit almost every day across the different areas of London. That’s what makes finding the … Continue Reading
I’m such a huge fan of embracing the seasons. In summer-time, I want to spend every possible moment soaking up the sunshine outdoors. In autumn, I want to marvel at the dramatic change in nature as the leaves turn from what is almost ‘uniform green’ to all the many beautiful hues from reds to oranges. … Continue Reading
Rip off your duffle coat, unzip that onesie and lose the mittens – summer is almost here and that can only mean one thing… summer holidays! Those long evenings, basked in glorious sunshine are definitely made even better by the knowledge that you can (and probably should) be enjoying it somewhere new. With so many … Continue Reading
Ah, Europe – where do I even begin? 🙂 Of course, calling this part of the world home means that I am slightly biased when it comes to things to see and do here but there honestly isn’t a season that ‘isn’t good’ to visit Europe. Granted you might wanna veer North during winter and … Continue Reading

I said it before and I’ll say it again, our English road trip had been a long time coming! Granted we only had 4 days (3 nights) this time but we managed to squeeze out as much of Southern England as we could within the 4 days! London bade us farewell with the most dramatic … Continue Reading
England is an incredible country to explore, with a surprising amount of diversity, culture and charm for a relatively small island. Not only that, there are heaps of the best places for a staycation in Britain dotted all across the island. From the beautiful coastline of Pembrokeshire in Wales, driving the NC500 in the Scottish … Continue Reading
I’m a sucker for a good bit of festive cheer, especially when that centres around the best Christmas markets in Europe to explore. There’s something about the smell of all the stalls, the sugared almonds, the music and the piping-hot Glühwein that makes it all seem so Christmassy. Nowadays, visiting some of the best Christmas … Continue Reading
