This one is a bit different to my regular Food Fridays, I mean, no pizza or pancakes are to be seen... I went somewhere fancy for once. After a year long wait (we booked December before last), just before Christmas my family and I finally ate at Tom Kerridge's Two Michelin starred restaurant 'The Hand and … Continue reading THE HAND AND FLOWERS | BUCKINGHAMSHIRE | FOOD FRIDAY
CHEERS 2015
Happy New Year ('s Eve)! We've already talked about the highs and the lows in the last couple of days, so I thought today might be a good day to show you via our brand new YouTube channel. It truly has been an amazing year in travel for me - road tripping Croatia and Scotland, city … Continue reading CHEERS 2015
BEST TRAVEL MOMENTS 2015
After yesterday's post you might be wondering if pessimism has got the better of us. Thankfully, it's quite the opposite; 2015 has been pretty damn good to our little circle. To prove it we got together to discuss the BEST moments in our 2015 travels: Hamilton When I was in a small village in the Austrian alps, … Continue reading BEST TRAVEL MOMENTS 2015
WORST TRAVEL MOMENTS 2015
With this year coming to a close; Christmas over, and 2016 rapidly encroaching, we decided it was time to reflect on the highs and lows of 2015. When asked 'Do you want the good news first, or the bad news?' it's customary to say bad news first. Hence, we're posting our worst moments of 2015 before … Continue reading WORST TRAVEL MOMENTS 2015
AN UNSUCCESSFUL AFTERNOON | MUNICH
With only 3 days in beautiful Munich, we decided to conquer as many tourist spots as we possibly could. Hence in one afternoon, we jumped on a train with the intention of visiting the BMW Museum, the Olympic Park AND Nymphemburg Palace. Perhaps a little ambitious, but nothing we haven't done before. First things first, logistics. … Continue reading AN UNSUCCESSFUL AFTERNOON | MUNICH
NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM’S ICE RINK | LONDON
Not long ago I filmed at the Natural History Museum ice rink, and adjoining alpine bar for work. And it was beaut. Yes, it's a bit overpriced and crowded, but it's Christmas in London - where isn't? Now, I'm not actually a big fan of ice skating but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a … Continue reading NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM’S ICE RINK | LONDON
THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS TRAIN | ORIENT EXPRESS
I tweeted about this a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still thinking about it. The TV show, 'The World's Most Famous Train' was (in the UK) on Channel 4 at 8pm on Monday 30th November, and was a one off behind the scenes look at the historical Orient Express train that travels from London to Venice. The trailer can … Continue reading THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS TRAIN | ORIENT EXPRESS

NATIONAL TRUST AT CHRISTMAS
The National Trust is a wonderful organisation (of which I am a member); so good in fact, that I wrote a poem about it in Year 8 at school (aged roughly 12/13). Sadly, I can't find it for you all to enjoy, but believe me, it was good. I do remember all the lyrics to the … Continue reading NATIONAL TRUST AT CHRISTMAS
A WEEKEND OF WEIHNACHTEN | MUNICH
Last week, Hamilton and I spent 3 days wrapped up in Christmas spirit; visiting the gorgeous German city of Munich, where we went to markets, wandered through gardens and drank all of the beer. I'd never been to Germany before this trip, but I did have a picture in my mind of what it would be like... (Aka all the … Continue reading A WEEKEND OF WEIHNACHTEN | MUNICH
