Apologies for the slight change in my posting schedule - I was on a boat! Well, a cruise ship to be exact and I doubt that it could really be called a boat. It had 18 floors! This holiday was so needed and I was cut off entirely from any sort of internet connection when … Continue reading My time on a cruise boat

The Wildlife Trusts Hope Week 2024: Day 5 – Share your favourite place in nature
Where do I begin? Here are a few pictures of some of my favourite places: St James Park in London - especially when you see Buckingham Palace in the background! Plus there is a ton of wildlife to see, so it makes a really lovely place to explore. One of my local running routes that … Continue reading The Wildlife Trusts Hope Week 2024: Day 5 – Share your favourite place in nature
The birds at St James’s Park London
It was my birthday recently and since the weather was (surprisingly!) beautiful still here in the UK, I decided to be a tourist for the day and check out all of these places that I have never been to in London. St James's Park is beautiful, and right by Buckingham Palace and the Horse Guards, … Continue reading The birds at St James’s Park London
Holiday recommendations
What countries do you want to visit? A bit of a different post, but I am in desperate need of a holiday. I have not been outside of the UK since 2019, and honestly the non-summer we are currently having in England is starting to get very depressing. I am in need of sun and … Continue reading Holiday recommendations
Covent Garden Flower Market
I recently got married (yay me!) and one of the biggest stressors I found was trying to sort out flowers. It seems that as soon as florists hear the word 'wedding', the cost for flowers immediately jumps up a couple hundred quid and then you're spending more money on flowers than you did on the … Continue reading Covent Garden Flower Market
Java Whiskers Cat Cafe
A new find for us and the perfect treat for me to celebrate my 30th birthday. Yes I am 30 and yes, I wanted to spend a quiet moment at a cat cafe with some lovely felines and sweet treats. Because I am an adult. Now I have said before that personally, if the cafe … Continue reading Java Whiskers Cat Cafe
Doughnut Time: Liam Hemsworthy
During our week off, we finally decided to venture into London. This is the first time we have been into London since February 2020. As someone who went to university in London and then later working in London for most of my career, it felt very strange to be able to be a tourist once … Continue reading Doughnut Time: Liam Hemsworthy
Umami – Impossible Burger
During my 2018 trip to LA, I was finally able to try the Impossible Burger. I had heard amazing reviews about it but had never been able to find anywhere in the UK that actually stocked it. We spent a day in Santa Monica, and came across the burger restaurant Umami, who was one of … Continue reading Umami – Impossible Burger
Voodoo Doughnuts
The best find during our trip to LA was definitely Voodoo Doughnuts. We went to Universal Studies (Best place ever!) and saw this store with a big old 'VEGAN DOUGHNUTS HERE' sign out front. So you can bet I was straight in there! The choice was mind blowing. When I visited (so granted this was … Continue reading Voodoo Doughnuts
Is the American Dream real?
I was looking through some old photos over the weekend, and making myself sad about how I (and almost the entire world) have not had a holiday in almost 2 years!! I love travel, and now more than ever the travel blues and wanderlust has truly set in. The idea of getting on a plane … Continue reading Is the American Dream real?
