Now, even though I have recently been tempted over onto the dark side... Coffee. I do still absolutely love drinking tea. I mean, this blog literally has tea in the title - it would be a crying shame if I abandoned something which for so long, has been part of my life mantra. Hence why, … Continue reading Afternoon Tea at Cliveden House: A Very British Day Out

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
MODERN ART IN MUSEUM SQUARE | AMSTERDAM DAY 2 | WEEKEND WANDERING
And on the second day, the clocks changed. Thus, we did not rise until late morning. Yet, it was still Sunday so we weren't in a rush, so we awoke slowly and meandered to Amersfoort train station, where we caught a train in to Amsterdam central to see some of the best modern art The … Continue reading MODERN ART IN MUSEUM SQUARE | AMSTERDAM DAY 2 | WEEKEND WANDERING
FREE FERRIES AND SECRET CAFES | AMSTERDAM DAY 1 | WEEKEND WANDERING
Considering its only a 45 minute plane ride away and a good friend of mine lives there its pretty much a travesty that I hadn't visited Amsterdam since 2015. Though judging by the title of this post, you've probably figured out that I finally managed to return to the land of cheese and beer... Last … Continue reading FREE FERRIES AND SECRET CAFES | AMSTERDAM DAY 1 | WEEKEND WANDERING
CHIHUAHUA CAFE | EDINBURGH | WEEKEND WANDERING
Usually I love the train journey up to Edinburgh - its about 5.5 hours long but it gives me time to write, read and watch tv in comfortable, warm seats. Usually moments when I get to do these things are slotted in in between stressful ones and are therefore very rarely dedicated just to this; … Continue reading CHIHUAHUA CAFE | EDINBURGH | WEEKEND WANDERING
ALL THE MUSEUMS | DAY 3 | NEW YORK
And suddenly, the third day was upon us. It came round very quickly and proved a point about making the most of your time. I think we had done pretty well so far but this day really showed you can always do more. It wasn't the best weather so it worked out quite well for … Continue reading ALL THE MUSEUMS | DAY 3 | NEW YORK
TATE MODERN | WEEKEND WANDERING
I've been to the Tate Modern a bunch of times. Once, I even had the joy of almost getting stuck in a stairwell there - it was 5 minutes before closing time. The lifts were super busy. We decided to walk down around 14 flights of stairs and when we got to the bottom, the … Continue reading TATE MODERN | WEEKEND WANDERING
TRAPPED IN A SCIENCE FICTION MUSEUM | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING
With a flight booked for mid-afternoon, we were well aware of making the most of our final day in sunny Berlin before we had to return to London; we got up, got dressed, took some selfies and made our way onto the U-Bahn in record time. Topography of Terror Our first stop, was the 'Topography Of … Continue reading TRAPPED IN A SCIENCE FICTION MUSEUM | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING
BUT, WE’VE JUST GOT HERE? | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING
I mentioned in last Sunday's post that Naomi and I would be in Berlin this weekend. I wasn't lying. What I didn't imagine, was just how busy my working week would be, meaning that I would have zero time to do proper research or write any posts in the build up. Or that I would … Continue reading BUT, WE’VE JUST GOT HERE? | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING
INTRODUCING BONNIE, THE CAVACHON PUPPY
As I've mentioned before, we recently had a new addition to the group: Bonnie, my cavachon puppy. Seeing as I'm going away for a month on Friday, and so I won't see her (don't worry, my parents will be taking excellent care of her whilst I'm in America), I'm spending my weekend at home fussing … Continue reading INTRODUCING BONNIE, THE CAVACHON PUPPY
