My weekend away was so much fun. One thing is for sure, I was blessed with beautiful sunshine all-day, all-weekend! If you’re from the UK, you will know how rare this much sunshine can be. 🙂 It’s as if Booking.com made their app foolproof just for me! Somehow I always seem to take a wrong … Continue Reading

Burgers well and truly demolished (and satisfyingly so) I figured it was time to pack in as much of the harbour festival as was left of it for the day before heading back to the hotel for a bit of pool time pre-dinner. Everyone was having such a glorious time and I was in high … Continue Reading

I slept very well on Saturday night in lovely Bristol. Between the amazing meal from the night before and the brilliant hotel, I pretty much conked out as soon as I hit the hotel room. There’s just something fantastic about getting a good night’s sleep that’s irreplaceable. Sunday morning had arrived and that meant returning … Continue Reading

Camden is easily up there as one of the best areas in London you have to explore when you visit our city. After all, it’s so different from many of the other spots in London. This is especially true because of the culture, vibe and all the best things to do in Camden that are … Continue Reading

Our trip to the Isles of Scilly was one that has been long-awaited! Earlier this year, I said to Lloyd how much I wanted to see more of the UK and Ireland. Case in point – living in Edinburgh a while back, I had taken it for granted and it was only after a long stint … Continue Reading

The very next morning, we got up bright and early and set off on a trip to the island of Bryher (which, by the way, is right next to Tresco island). Okay, I’m being liberal with the truth here – I did not get up ‘bright and early’. I’m not a fan of waiting around … Continue Reading

Seeing as we’d both skipped breakfast earlier in the day, due to a ridiculous lack of planning on both our parts, lunch time at the Fraggle Rock bar was most certainly a much anticipated affair! It took me all of two seconds to decide what to have – fish and chips all round and a … Continue Reading

There’s definitely something about in the air when you’re by the seaside that leaves you absolutely knackered by the end of the day. It may also be in part due to the fact that everything is so picturesque (and the weather is so amazing) that you end up spending every minute exploring the length and … Continue Reading

Yup, Up Helly Aa is as fierce as it looks. Hoards of angry Vikings and their burning ships surround the Shetland Islands on an annual basis; bringing mayhem to the local community that just can’t get rid of those pesky Vikings. Or, so I assume if we had lived 1,200 years ago. It’s one epic … 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
