This isn’t a very summery outfit but we haven’t really been having much of a summer, have we? I think I’ve left the house without tights on a grand total of three times this summer (in this country anyway) and have had to take a jacket out with me almost…
Even though I came back from Florida almost six months ago, I’m still slowly working my way through all of the posts that I’ve got planned. Today I thought I would review the resort we stayed in, as there’s so many different ones both in Disneyworld and outside so maybe…
Berlin rewards planning. More than almost any other European capital, its neighborhoods hold distinct identities — shaped by division, reunification, and decades of contested history — and poor routing burns time this city actually deserves.

At the end of November, I spent a week in the Czech Republic. For the first four days I went to Prague, then I went on to a Karlovy Vary spa break. I went to Prague on my own, which means that the Czech Republic is the fifth country I…

You’ve booked three days in Edinburgh and you’re asking the right question: is that enough time, and how do you spend it without wasting half of it queuing at overpriced tourist traps? My first Edinburgh trip was fine. I queued 50 minutes to get into Edinburgh Castle. I ate dinner…
My cat Bertie is absolutely spoilt and has been since he arrived here almost four years ago. After sharing our lives with another cat for 19 years, we knew that we needed to provide him with something to scratch to protect our furniture. When he was a tiny kitten, I…
I recently graduated from my Masters degree at the University of Winchester. My graduation ceremony was at 10:30am on the Thursday morning. It’s a 3 hour drive from home, so this means that we had to go down the night before. When looking at hotels, I found that the majority…
