...A CUPPA! I do love a cup of tea, I have English Breakfast in the morning and then on the weekends, when I can sit back and enjoy a cuppa in the afternoon, my tea of choice is a nice Earl Grey. Could I be more British??!! I was sitting enjoying one of these the [...]

To Visit Laos in March? The Burning Question!
Laos had been on the hit list for quite a while. This time, we thought, this time. We had initially wanted to travel to the south, to see Wat Phou and the 4000 islands. But time was tight and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t make the itinerary work for us. The [...]
Finding My Happy Place
I don't think it's any secret that I love the beach and the sun! I grew up in the Middle East, on a small island where the sea was usually visible whilst going about your normal routine and the sun shone... a lot! In fact, going to the beach was a part of our normal [...]
Sunshine At Last!
Oh my word, the weather gods are shining down on us! It's a bank holiday weekend here in the UK and it's looking like it's going to be a glorious one, hip hip hooray! The holidays and the weather rarely align so it's time to make the most of it! Whatever you are doing, wherever [...]
Because I love…

Initially I dismissed it as just another of those annoying new year resolutions, but the [...]
Wakey Wakey, Rise and Shine!
I was expecting to wake up to rain (and possibly snow!) this morning, instead I was greeted with this... a very lovely surprise!
Has anyone seen my blogging mojo?
It’s the second week of January and whilst everyone else seems to be full of hope and optimism for the new year, I feel like I am desperately lagging behind. I have really struggled to get into the new year (it feels like this month has already lasted forever!). It’s been tough, I’ve been ill [...]
Goodbye 2017 – let’s get 2018 on the road!
Happy New Year! So, I’ve been a bit lazy on the blogging front the last few weeks, what with Christmas and all. The festive season was lovely, but I was pretty tired by the time the holidays rolled around. Christmas day was spent very quietly with my family and it was lovely, I couldn’t have [...]
5 Months In – Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Well, I am very pleased to announce that I have reached my five month blogiversary today! I can't believe it, how time flies! As it's also Christmas it seems like a good time for a little reflection. I was petrified of setting up a blog and hitting that publish button for the first time, I [...]
