Walking to the Post Office this morning to send a book to a friend, I was reminded of how incredible the postal service is. I can post a letter to someone across the country or even across the world, for the change in your pocket, and they'll receive it a few days later. Earlier this … Continue reading A Day at the Postal Museum
The final part of our road trip landed us literally, at the end of the road. John O'Groats is the most Northernly inhabited place in the UK/Scotland and we stayed there for our two last nights before returning to London. LAIRG We drove up to John O'Groats from our little cottage just outside Inverness, stopping … Continue reading Scottish Road Trip on a Budget| Part 3 | John O’Groats
London is great for many reasons, a big one (in my eyes) is the fact that so many things are free; The V and A, The British Museum, The Natural History Museum (to name a few) and also, The Sky Garden. Located in 'The City' which misleadingly, is a small area of London near Liverpool … Continue reading SKY GARDEN: LONDON FROM ABOVE
When I left London for Toronto earlier this year, without meaning to, my life become a series of viewing the cityscape from various buildings. I’ve already mentioned the Shard and St Paul’s Cathedral but within a period of a few weeks, I saw many more. MONUMENT Another one of these, was Monument. The Monument was … Continue reading MONUMENT / TOWER BRIDGE: LONDON FROM ABOVE
I'm assuming it's highly likely you've seen Coppa Club's Igloos all over your Instagram and Pinterest already, so sorry if any mention of them is now considered spam. In case you haven't heard about/seen them - they're pretty nice, right? If you're looking for somewhere unique and a bit kooky to eat in London, then … Continue reading COPPA CLUB RIVERSIDE IGLOOS, LONDON (REVIEW)
I wrote just the other day about an evening adventure my boyfriend and I had in London (going up St Paul's Cathedral / eating at Barbecoa). Well, the local fun did not stop with just that day. Only a week later, we both happened to have the same day off (a Thursday) so decided to … Continue reading A DAY OUT IN LONDON | 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
The Lake District is a gorgeous National Park in Northwestern England, home to (surprise surprise) beautiful lakes, lovely walks and plenty of activities for the whole family. I'd never stayed their before this trip and was very excited to experience all of these things. August is a great time to go to the Lake District, … Continue reading A RAINY WEEKEND | THE LAKE DISTRICT | WEEKEND WANDERING
One hell of a British tradition "Remember, remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason, why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot." Here in the UK, Bonfire Night is one of fireworks, fires and burning of effigies of Guy Fawkes; one out of a group of men that attempted to … Continue reading BONFIRE NIGHT | LEWES
Last month, I went on an ever so slight Bucket List trip... Road tripping around Scotland. I've been to Scotland before, on holiday to Dundee but that had nothing on this. I come from Southern England, so travelling up to Scotland is a bit of a mission. Nonetheless, I'm sure Americans/Australians would tell me it's nothing! It supposedly … Continue reading STARGAZING | GALLOWAY | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
