WE’RE MOVING TO… | BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

I don't know if anyone picked up on it but I've mentioned something big is coming a few times over the past few months and now, with only TWO MONTHS to the day until it happens, I thought it was time to reveal what the hell it actually is. With only that amount of time … Continue reading WE’RE MOVING TO… | BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

MY TOP 10 FAVOURITE MUSICALS

I absolutely ADORE musicals. I don’t think I tend to come across as that kind of person but believe me, I am. I’m a proper curtains up, music starts, overwhelmed by excitement kind of girl. Over the years I’ve seen a fair few, including some wild cards – this is my personal top 10 so … Continue reading MY TOP 10 FAVOURITE MUSICALS

A FEW DEVON DAYS | WEEKEND WANDERING

A few months again, I wrote this post about a trip down to Devon with my boyfriend to visit his family. It was such a nice weekend, that we decided to use some holiday days to go down there again (this time joined by my dog, Bonnie). It always feels a little bit funny writing … Continue reading A FEW DEVON DAYS | WEEKEND WANDERING

DAY 4 | LOIRE VALLEY | WINE TRIP

After drinking all the wine and literally getting the ants out of my pants (check out the last post to understand this suitcase mishap), we left Domain de la Soucherie and continued our wine tour, this time heading to Chateau Bouvet Ladubay, located near Saumur. We got so ridiculously lucky with the weather, considering it … Continue reading DAY 4 | LOIRE VALLEY | WINE TRIP

Day 3 | TOURS | WINE TRIP

I just realised that in my last post (when we arrived in Tours), I didn't think to point out that Tours is a city in France. I did not arrive somewhere in order to take multiple tours. I'm not sure if that needed clarification or not but there you go. As you were.  TOURS Day … Continue reading Day 3 | TOURS | WINE TRIP

DAY 2 | PARIS – TOURS | WINE TOUR

Our second day, somehow, was even hotter than the first. We got up nice and early, put our shorts on and headed up to the Sacre Coeur (well, we got the metro most of the way but you get me) before visiting the Pompidou and then jumping on a train to Tours...  MONTMARTRE We got … Continue reading DAY 2 | PARIS – TOURS | WINE TOUR

DAY 1 | PARIS | FRENCH WINE TOUR

A couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend and I spent a weekend in Paris, then got the train out to the Loire Valley for a few days with my parents touring and tasting the wine region. We got really, really lucky with the weather in that it was boiling hot with bright sunshine, out of … Continue reading DAY 1 | PARIS | FRENCH WINE TOUR

MADRID – AMSTERDAM

This post is a little different to the usual, as the trip was undertaken for work. It involved driving from Madrid to Amsterdam, stopping off in various cities in between. I won't give a complete run down of the work trip because that is unlikely to help anyone (plus I didn't really see any of … Continue reading MADRID – AMSTERDAM

OVERVIEW | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

In April of this year, my friend Hamilton and I went on a road trip around Latvia and Estonia (well one place in Latvia and a bunch of places in Estonia). I've done individual posts on each day of the trip but figured it might be helpful to do an overview of the entire route. … Continue reading OVERVIEW | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

RIGA | DAY 6 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

If you have been following this Baltic road trip, you may have noticed that Hamilton and I started in Riga - no, I haven't lost my mind and written the wrong city in the title; we also finished here. Flights were a lot cheaper and worked out better schedule wise, plus its there was no … Continue reading RIGA | DAY 6 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP
