Mountain biking? That sounds like a bit of fun, I thought reading the activities that I could choose from in Tirol, Austria. How difficult can it be? Some muddy trails, a few bumps, humps and jumps, should be a laugh… maybe a bit of a challenge. “OK, so are we ready?” our mountain biking guide […]
Day two of winging it in Brighton (thanks to Booking.com) started in the extremely early hours. I’d been recommended a new night of Latin & Balearic House at the Green Door Store near Brighton’s train station. The challenge was to go to see a style of DJ/band that I wouldn’t normally, now seeing as though […]
After being told on Friday morning that I’d be exploring Brighton for the weekend I rushed out from work and headed for the train station. Phone in hand and first nights accomodation booked at The Square, a boutique hotel sat facing one of Brighton’s green little squares. I’d used Booking.com’s app to book with just […]
Surprise! It’s Friday morning, I’ve just been sipping a strong black coffee in an attempt to wake myself up when I got the news that I’m off exploring sunny (hopefully!) Brighton this weekend! I’m leaving work this evening (Friday 3rd July) and hopping on the train to the South coast to complete a number of […]
A huge gust of wind hit the sails throwing us off course dramatically, the captain battled with wheel as the boat dipped into a wave. We clung on to anything that would keep us on board the boat. There were no signs of major panic from the captain, but it hadn’t helped that earlier on […]
I left a grim, grey, smoggy London skyline behind in search of the fresh mountain air of Austria to throw myself down a mountain on a bike, meet a friendly pack of huskies and to explore the mountains of Tirol. City life is fast and exciting but sometimes stressful and demanding. On Thursday evening I […]
Standing in a field surrounded by long inquisitive faces nibbling at my t-shirt isn’t quite what I was expecting from horse riding in Menorca. We trotted into what looked like a scene from Jurassic Park, an expansion plain lined with palm trees and surounded by huge imposing cliffs. We stopped staring out into the distance admiring […]
On Wednesday night I’ll be heading to Heathrow airport… I think! I haven’t decided whether to get up early or to book a hotel at the airport instead! My flight is super early at around 7am so getting to the airport for 5am might prove a little on London’s public transport. Huskies & Schnapps! After […]
It was pretty late, I’d just finished packing when my phone buzzed across the table, there was message from my mum wishing me a good trip to Menorca. I wasn’t quite sure whether I had ever been before but there was some faint memory of a distant family holiday, fishing in a quaint little harbour […]
The Shard and the view from the top (called The View From The Shard) or at least the view from the furtherest you can get to, is something that I’ve always wanted to do since the building was complete back in 2012. Like most things when you live somewhere you just don’t find yourself making […]
What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than being transported back to your childhood? Around every corner is a tiny surprise, a flashback to when you we’re young, where you find yourself saying out loud, “remember this!?” or “I had one of those!”. Wandering around the Museum of Childhood you’re not quite sure just […]
We picked a typically chilly, charcoal grey skied, winters day to head down to Greenwich to ride the London cable car, The Emirates Air Line. It has been one of those London “things that I want to do but haven’t got around to it yet” and it was time to tick it well and truly […]
