Train travel is perhaps one of the best ways to explore the UK – especially if you don’t drive. Aww heck, even if you do drive, it’s still so much easier to get on a train, relax and watch the cities and countryside whiz past. Plus, it’s pretty easy to get around the country and … Continue Reading
Update: This experience has now ended in London. It was only available during the summer of 2015. It’s kinda been in London before, years ago at the Tate Modern and its coming back to London this summer! What is it? Well I’m not sure if you remember those cool slides that were in the Tate … Continue Reading
Big cities are almost always best viewed from a high, vantage viewing point offering panoramic views of the city and London is no exception when it comes to that. This is particularly so as summer approaches and the number of daylight hours increases. The best times to get a good photograph, of course, is just … Continue Reading
Having lived in Edinburgh for quite a few years, it’s easily one of my favourite cities in the UK and with good reason too – it’s absolutely pretty, has such a strong history, amazing traditions, really friendly people and is a traveller’s delight – which is also why it makes sense that it the most … Continue Reading
Sometimes, I think half the fun of living in London is getting to take part in events like this! 🙂 The other day, we got invited by Pinterest to meet the fantastic James Wong (off the telly 🙂 ) for an evening making and (arguably more importantly) drinking cocktails! And boy was it fun! First … Continue Reading
London Town is one of the best cities in the world…and yes, I am slightly biased. One of the best things I like about London is its diversity and the number of opportunities there are to travel and try new things! and it really makes it easier for me to dash around our amazing city … Continue Reading
Road trips have long since been a mainstay of travel and are always a great way to pack in as many sights as possible. In fact, visiting the Highlands of Scotland is incredible and you’ll be spoilt for choice of places to see. Although they’re quite synonymous with the US, Scotland is giving the US … 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
First off a bit of context – our friends Alex (one of the brains behind the amazing – Design Box London) and Jamie invited us to celebrate their birthday and I’m pretty sure I RSVP’d even before I received the invite! Celebration time with these two is always bound to be fun. I still have … Continue Reading
There’s a shed load of charming cities, stunning national parks and a heap of beautiful little islands in England to go exploring. Not only that, but there’s also a heap of historic towns to visit in England that are dotted all across the country, too. From the beautiful spots in the south of England to … Continue Reading
I recently discovered an amazing food market in London. It’s in Leather Lane and has all sorts of food stalls from all over the world, which just entice you with the mouth-watering sights and delicious fragrances coming from them. Once I was actually able to contain my excitement (which I was only able to do … Continue Reading
I kid you not. And it’s apparently really good. It’s got lions and tigers and bears (oh my!)… and other animals of course – elephants, rhinos, giraffes… the lot! Until a week ago, I had no idea until my brother mentioned it to me. With Scotland’s dramatically beautiful landscape, it makes sense that if there … Continue Reading
It’s been a while since I’ve had one of these kinda days in London… London is glorious in summer time! There’s just so much more stuff to do and with the sun shining brightly, very little excuse not to to do said stuff! Even on slightly overcast days like today, the sun managed to peek … Continue Reading
After a week in Paris, I was more than happy to be headed back home. I never really thought about it at the time but this was my first solo trip in quite a long while but I was so busy all the while I was there that I really didn’t get much time to … Continue Reading
