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

ROASTED BARLEY TEA | FOOD FRIDAY

I know what you might be thinking - tea is not food, therefore not an acceptable subject for Food Friday. I'm sorry to be harsh so early on in the post, but you are wrong. I am British, and tea makes up a big part of my daily consumption of calories. Hence, I'm going to … Continue reading ROASTED BARLEY TEA | FOOD FRIDAY

BONFIRE NIGHT | LEWES

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

MY TOP 5 FAVOURITE SKI AREAS

The recent cold and fog has given me some mountain vibes; I've been skiing since I was 5, mostly in Europe and once in America. You could even say skiing is in my blood, I mean it's pretty much the reason for my existence... Without it my parents wouldn't have met whilst in Soll, Austria. … Continue reading MY TOP 5 FAVOURITE SKI AREAS

CADILLAC RANCH | AMARILLO | MUST VISIT

In the summer of 2013, whilst road tripping America, we pulled off of Route 66 and stopped to visit the world famous 'Cadillac Ranch'. An art installation (literally) consisting of 6 Cadillacs buried into the Texan dirt.  They've moved since their initial burials, and been vandalised and spray painted over and over, and are a … Continue reading CADILLAC RANCH | AMARILLO | MUST VISIT

END OF THE ROAD | EDINBURGH | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP

Our two final nights were spent in the unique and charming city of Edinburgh.    I'd always wanted to go and in all honesty had no idea how to go about planning our time there. The rest of our road trip in Scotland was mostly spent in rural areas, so I knew a city would … Continue reading END OF THE ROAD | EDINBURGH | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP

NORTHERN LIGHTS | JOHN O’GROATS | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP

In an earlier blog post, I mentioned my bucket list... Our time at John O'Groats managed to tick off two wishes. Not bad going for a town with a population of only about 300. The drive from Skye was a looonggg one. I think it took about 7/8 hours? There is a slightly shorter route, … Continue reading NORTHERN LIGHTS | JOHN O’GROATS | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP

FAIRY POOLS | ISLE OF SKYE | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP

We woke up in Invergarry to yet another beautiful day. I haven't actually mentioned it, but my god we were lucky with the weather. The hike at Glen Nevis was another day of clear blue skies and bright sunshine, and after what we'd been repeatedly told, ("It always rains in Fort William") we figured it … Continue reading FAIRY POOLS | ISLE OF SKYE | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
