The Isles of Scilly are a picturesque set of islands off the coast of Cornwall and are nothing like any island you’ve ever seen in the UK. The island’s beaches, clear blue waters, warm temperature and even the plants will probably leave you feeling like you’ve taken a trip to a tropical Caribbean island – … Continue Reading

Long story short – it’s as beautiful as they said it would be! I’ve been going a bit crazy with the photos and taking pictures of anything and everything here! The water is as clear as you hear/read about, the beaches as sandy, and the food impeccable. There are times when you have to pinch … Continue Reading

These are not even the full blog posts yet! Some photos were meant to go on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook (I took them on my phone) but seeing as I ended up taking so many, it’s proven to be a struggle to get them all up on any of those so I figured I might … Continue Reading

There’s so much more to the UK than London. Yes, London is an amazing city and all that, but the UK has so many different beautiful and exciting cities that most people miss out on, thanks to the buzzing bright lights of London. I have lived all across the UK and experienced life in different … 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

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. 🙂 The next morning in Bristol, I got up bright and early in my swanky hotel room… and I blame … 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

Okay, totally biased, but I love Wales! Being Welsh, you couldn’t expect anything else, really. Though pushing my bias aside, there are so many beautiful and best things to do in Wales that really make it a stunning country to explore.  For a relatively small country, we pack a hefty punch in gorgeous places to … Continue Reading

London is often seen to be an expensive city to visit, especially if you are travelling from a country where the exchange rate is not in your favour. That being said, there are some really easy and nifty ways to visit London on a budget that each visitor can follow. Now, one thing that I … Continue Reading

Our trip to the Isles of Scilly had 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 of spending … 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

The Isles of Scilly have been so incredible, so far, and we were just itching to explore more of Bryher Island. 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. … Continue Reading
