SUFFOLK SPECIAL BLEND TEA | FOOD FRIDAY

Last weekend I went to visit a good friend of mine, who lives in Ipswich, Suffolk (East Anglia, England). Whilst there we saw all the sights - a big bridge, the river, the harbour, some statues and the local museum. Out of these, funnily enough, the museum was my favourite. Honestly, I wish this museum … Continue reading SUFFOLK SPECIAL BLEND TEA | FOOD FRIDAY

MUNICH RESIDENZ AND THE ENGLISCHER GARTEN | CHRISTMAS IN MUNICH

After our unfortunate attempt to visit Nymphemburg Palace (read about it here), we were very excited about seeing the Munich Residenz, which was previously a Royal Palace. This time, it was open and we actually made it inside, which was a good start. Ok, there's potential we walked around the building a couple of times … Continue reading MUNICH RESIDENZ AND THE ENGLISCHER GARTEN | CHRISTMAS IN MUNICH

THE ART DISTRICT | MUNICH

I still can’t believe quite how much we managed to fit into our short time in Munich, which was in early December 2015; visiting (closed) palaces, the science and technology museum, Christmas markets, beer halls and more. Amazingly, including this one, there are two posts to go just on the subject of what we did! … Continue reading THE ART DISTRICT | MUNICH

THE HAND AND FLOWERS | BUCKINGHAMSHIRE | FOOD FRIDAY

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
