I love Bank holidays because who doesn’t love a three-day weekend? It’s also the perfect opportunity to explore parts of the country I’ve not yet seen. My friend Shelley and I were trying to find somewhere to go for a day trip that wasn’t too far from London and that didn’t cost a fortune to get there. Because the weather was so lovely, we had our heart set on somewhere like Folkestone or Margate, however the last minute train tickets were ridiculously priced (one thing I hate about the UK. How is over £30 for a journey that takes less…
What strikes me about Rome is that everywhere you look, there is history. It’s one of those cities that you can keep returning back to and still be in awe of its magnificence. We were recently in Rome for the Easter weekend and it was our fourth visit, yet it still felt exciting, ‘new’ and took our breath away. If you’re heading to Rome, here are thirty things I recommend to see or do. 1. Visit the Colosseum, which started construction in 70 AD and could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 people. 2. Visit the Roman Forum, which is…
My husband treated me to a weekend in York as part of my birthday present. We’d been before but about ten years ago to spend the weekend with my sister and her family, when they still lived in Edinburgh.

York is so full of ancient history and is one of England’s most beautiful historic cities, dating back to Roman times. York’s medieval buildings and streets are so well preserved and a lot of the streets are pedestrianised, making it ideal…
I don’t know about you but when I travel to a big city I always search for the best way to get from the airport to my hotel – whether that’s by taxi, bus or train. Sometimes it’s quite tricky to find the information in one place and some websites will vary with their information. So as I live in London and have travelled to and from every airport in the city, I thought I’d create a simple guide for you with all the information on public transport in one place. I hope it’s useful! London Heathrow London’s biggest and…
London is arguably one of the best cities in the world to live in but also one of the most stressful, I think. I love how you could probably live to be 200 years old and still not have seen everything there is to see. There’s always something new to do – if you can be arsed to see it, that is! Because London is also very tiring… the pace of life is hectic and the older I get, the more I choose Netflix and my couch over the latest bar opening. I’ve only lived in London since 2006 but…
