London: These are a few of my favourite things
Mar 25th
London is one of those cities I always love to visit. If there is an opportunity to stop off for even a few hours in transit or for a single night, I’ll absolutely do it. “If you are tired of London, you are tired of life”, quotes Samuel Johnson and More >
When in Rome, visit the Vatican City
Mar 13th
No visit to Rome is complete without a trip to the Vatican City. With all there is to see and do in St Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums, you’d do well to allocate an entire day to your visit. You’ll want to spend at least 4 nights in Rome More >
48 Hours in Paris
Mar 5th
Paris. The name conjures up visions of love….and food. Well, it does in my mind at least. So when the opportunity arose to take the Eurostar from London, to spend a weekend in Paris, we leaped at the opportunity.

Leggings and lycra – a musical flashback to the 80’s
Mar 4th
Let me set the record straight before we start. I’m not a spontaneous kind of person – I like a good plan. The better and more comprehensive the plan is, the more comfortable I am with it.

A blast from the past: My 7 Links contribution
Jul 24th
As a relatively new travel blogger, I initially found the thought of being nominated for the fabulous #7links travel blogging project quite intimidating. Having been nominated by the fabulously like-minded Erin Halvey, the initial thoughts running through my head ranged from “I don’t have enough blog posts” to “My early blogging More >
