The Falkland Arms, Great Tew

We had a lovely end to 2018 when we went for the first of what will hopefully be many weekend walks in the Cotswolds. The Cotswolds is a beautiful region of England and it’s not too far for us to drive there from our home in Northamptonshire. We took a circular walk around the Great […]

What I’ve been up to this month – December 2018

31st December 2018 No Comment

December… always a manic month for most people I imagine! I love Christmas and it’s my birthday just before, but will anyone really blame me if I say I’m (not so) secretly glad it’s nearly over? I think it’s a beautiful time of year with lots of festive events, catching up with old friends and […]

Feeling Festive – My Christmas Timeline

2nd December 2018 1 Comment

I’ve found that as I’ve become more settled in my life in general over the last couple of years (and heading rapidly into my late 20s), I’ve also settled into familiar routines and traditions that get me in the festive mood in the run up to Christmas. I’ve only ever spent one Christmas in my […]

Time for a change – why I’m moving to a job with no travel

7th September 2018 No Comment

So this is it, my big news of the season – I’ve got a new job. And I’ll say this quickly to get it out of the way – it doesn’t involve any overseas travel. At all. If you follow my travels at all, you’ll know that a lot of the trips I’ve done have […]

20th August 2018 No Comment

Hello again everyone! I finally feel like I’m able to pick up some blogging again after what has been a pretty busy couple of months for me offline. There are some big changes coming up for me (and inevitably my blog), so stay tuned for more on that later. In the meantime, I wanted to […]

Life update: we’re engaged!

24th June 2018 No Comment

OK, so it’s actually been 2 months now since we got engaged and I’ve been super busy since then! Now that I finally have some time to sit down and reflect on this huge, incredible life event, I’m getting so excited! The proposal itself was perfect; I’d only just returned from my trip to Saudi […]

7 food stops not to miss on the NC500

28th August 2017 4 Comments

We just got back from our amazing holiday doing the North Coast 500 (NC500) route in Scotland. For me, a major highlight of our NC500 trip was the huge range of amazing food options scattered throughout the route. I’d already read about a few of the places and had identified them as good stops for […]

4 great foodie experiences in Amsterdam

14th August 2017 2 Comments

Amsterdam is a wonderful city to visit and continues to grow in popularity for visitors from all over the world. You can hear so many different languages being spoken as you wander the beautiful streets (just watch out for all the bikes!). My boyfriend and I visited Amsterdam one year ago for our anniversary for […]

Café Pergamino, Medellin

26th November 2016 No Comment

Although I’ll sit down at some point and do a separate post on Medellin more generally, I feel that Café Pergamino warrants its own post. Earlier this week I was in Medellin on my second visit to this lovely city in the heart of Colombia and the one thing I had to do was visit […]
