Ceylon Tea Trails, Sri Lanka

If you have been here before, and feel that this feels like dejavu, you are not wrong.

Due to a moment of madness earlier this year, I deleted my blog from the internet – without backing it up.

Positano to Capri day trip

I am a little late with posting these (and I still have more to go through and edit) but I can finally go through our second day on our trip to Amalfi (First post here)

This past weekend the sun managed to stay until the weekend, which is a massive plus as I’m normally stuck at my desk at work looking longingly out of the window and wishing that I could be out enjoying the warmth and rays on my skin. So hurray Mr Sun, you did good for once.

An Afternoon in Lewes

Sometimes your local towns are the ones most forgotten about. I am always keen to adventure further afield, but on this occasion Si and I decided to take the short 15 minute drive for an afternoon in Lewes.

Wild camping, Sussex

This past weekend Si and I thought we had firm plans about attending Brighton Pride in the city, but found last minute that no one was able to go anymore. So with the sun shining and with the free weekend ahead of us we seized the chance to get out into the countryside for a…

Positano, Italy

Our time in the Amalfi Coast was a whirlwind visit. We took our flight out after work on Thursday, arriving into Naples airport just before midnight. Setting off on our journey down past Pompeii, through Sorrento and along the coastal road into Positano. Having gotten a glimpse of this slice of Italian paradise, we couldn’t wait to go…

Dubai Dessert

Way back in February on part of a very last minute trip with my parents, we made the decision to venture into the Dessert from Dubai for my sisters birthday. We were enticed by the thrill of the jeep safari and the notion that food under the stars was a great way to end our…

POSTCARDS FROM HVAR

Oh Hvar, you beautiful, beautiful thing…back in July we had a girly weekend away for one of my lovely friends hen do, and she opted for us all to travel to the wonderful Island of Hvar (just off the coast of Croatia if you didn’t know) It was a place firmly high on my list…

NORWAY IN A NUTSHELL

and before you know it summer has literally gone by in a flash… And yet again I have failed at keeping this blog up, but although I seem to think about this little space every single day, I still fail to do anything about it. Maybe it’s the millions of unedited photos saved on…

BERGEN, NORWAY

Norway has always been a country I have wanted to go back to… Oslo is still high up on my recommended city break list and have always wanted to delve a little further into what seems like a fantastic country. So after a little research we booked to stay in Bergen for a long weekend…

PARIS FOR THE DAY

A few weeks ago I popped over to Paris with a friend for some lunch… and some sight-seeing and excessive walking of course! We set off bright and early at 4.45am to catch the first train out of St Pancras to Paris and in true style we crammed in as much as possible! Not…

GROW 40

Another week another breakfast… This time we settled down for a morning of people watching and dodging the rain to get stuck into a good old hearty breakfast. I don’t seem to mix it up much – but I really can’t resist the goodness of a perfect poached egg! Situated on one the corner of…

AN AFTERNOON IN LILLE

We had one more place in mind before taking the Eurotunnel home, so took a slight detour and spent the afternoon in Lille… I remember visiting once before with the school about 10 years, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what we did for the day (and for someone that boasts that they can remember silly detail…

travel

LONDON CALLING

It was so great to get away this past weekend to the big smoke… I probably take it for granted that London is so close to Brighton and don’t seem to visit as often as I should, but with my friends birthday on the Friday and a last minute trip with the mother, it…

travel

EPERNAY, CHAMPAGNE

Later that afternoon we continued our drive South to Epernay… Apparently it’s the self-proclaimed capital of Champagne and home to many- many of the worlds most celebrated Champagnes – and obviously we planned to try as many as we could! Upon arrival it wasn’t as picturesque as previously imagined, the rolling green vineyards were replaced…

travel

REIMS, FRANCE

After a 3 hour drive from Calais we finally arrived in Reims -the city in the heart of the Champagne-Ardenne region… It was our first stop on our whirlwind weekend trip with our friends. We wanted to take in as much as we could, as well as some well needed downtime involving plenty of Champagne…
