I’ve spoken before about my love of watching the sport of cycling. It’s a niche interest and I don’t really have any friends who share that interest, certainly not many who would drive to France and traipse around fields to watch it live. Except I do now have a friend willing to do this crazy…… Continue reading A day chasing The Hell of the North: Paris-Roubaix
It took me a while to realise that the Cotswolds are really not that far from us, about an hour and a half, and there’s so much to see and do there. This time of year is also snowdrop season! I’m not much for flowers but I do think snowdrops are really pretty and it’s…… Continue reading Travel Fix: An afternoon at Colesbourne Park
Earlier this month I took my best friend to the WB Harry Potter Studio Tour in Watford. It was actually a birthday present and although her birthday is August, I wanted to take her so that she could see it in all of its Christmas glory, plus since she last went they’ve added The Forbidden…… Continue reading Warner Brothers Studio Tour: A day with Harry Potter
Considering we went in October and I posted Part 1 and about Niagara an age ago, getting this part up is a little overdue but I’m trying to get back into more regular posting this year after a poor end to 2018. While I eagerly await the chance to plan this year’s adventures, it’s nice…… Continue reading Travel Fix: Toronto, Part 2
On our holiday to Toronto in October, we took a day out to travel down to Niagara Falls and tick off something that has long been on my bucket list. Just a warning: this post is incredibly photo heavy in case internet is an issue As far as planning for Toronto went, the most organised…… Continue reading Travel Fix: Niagara Falls
I talked about how this was my first major holiday in three years, so I was pretty excited. It’s also partly why we opted for such a lengthy trip. If you’re going to go somewhere, you may as well explore, right? I’ve split my experience of Toronto into two posts. While I was only there…… Continue reading Travel Fix: Toronto Part 1
I am a sucker for planning a trip. I’m not the type who will map out exactly what we’re going to be doing each minute of each day (that actually puts me off) but I love researching and having options. Booking a holiday is always exciting, particularly because you get to choose a hotel and…… Continue reading Travel Fix: Planning for Toronto
I know I’m incredibly lucky to have had the chance to undertake such a trip where essentially I only needed to pay for flights and have some spending money. My best friend’s family went above and beyond in terms of welcoming me and I appreciated it so much. We may have had language issues, but…… Continue reading My Italy getaway – Part 2: Varese and the food
I was incredibly lucky to be able to join my best friend in Italy for a short break at the end of this month. Having been saving for a new house, I’d not been on a proper holiday or out of the country for two years so getting abroad made me a little giddy. Particularly…… Continue reading My Italy getaway – Part 1: The Giro & Milan
Myself and Chris managed a mini break to London earlier this month and I took a lot of photos (almost as many as cocktails we drank). I wanted a way of sharing them and remembered how I tried Steller for the first time last year, loved it, but never really went back to it. So…… Continue reading My January mini break
