Getting back to reality post-wedding and post-minimoon, I was expecting to feel a bit sad and have a lot of time on my hands. It turns out that I haven’t actually had all that much time on my hands, but I have had quite a bit of time for reading thanks to the sunny weather. When…
Hello everyone! By the time this post goes out, I’ll be away on our minimoon in the Cotswolds and (eek!) married!! See you all when I’m back! You might have already figured out that I love travelling – I spend half my time writing about it, the other half dreaming about it or doing it. While…
Last year, I went through a little bit of a dip in my book reviews: I was reading but not reviewing, and got into the habit. Fortunately, I’ve managed to fall back into the habit of reviewing now, and I’m really pleased about that because half the fun of reading a book is in the…
Last month, after writing up my March book reviews, I thought to myself that I might actually start doing them as separate posts – mostly because they’re hardly “mini” (I like to talk, I know). But then I went and read too many books again this month (I’m just in a really good reading place…
Source Because I live in the middle of pretty much nowhere, I relish any opportunity to grab my suitcase (oh, and my fiancé!) and travel the world one destination at a time. Although I could happily visit Disney every single month, I feel it’s necessary to curb my Disney obsession every once in a while…
So can we all agree that while January was a total write off (at least for me and my flu), February was also not one for the record books? Or maybe it was…in terms of weather. Because, yep, that’s all we Brits can talk about right now: the snow. I ended up stuck at home…
Sleeping is very important for our health and well being. There are a number of pleasures in life and a good sleep at night is considered to be one of them. However, many of them in the USA in the age group of 13 to 64 years do not get 8 hours of regular sleep….
The kitchen in our home isn’t terrible. In fact, I quite like it at the moment. It has a big American fridge freezer; we’ve put in new, lighter flooring; we’ve repainted the cupboards ourselves; and it has a double oven. Here’s what it looks like right now. But it’s not perfect for us. And considering we’re…
Do you ever occasionally sit back and look at your life, thinking about how you got to where you are now? When you’re younger, you have dreams and plans and ideas. Your goals might only extend to the end of the day, but when people ask you, “What do you want to do when you…
Vintage Suit Hire Blazer & Waistcoat | Dobell Bow Tie | Linden Flowers Buttonhole | House of Fraser Brogues | ASOS shirt The countdown to the wedding seems to have got faster over the last couple of months. Even though I totally expected the time would fly by, I’m still kind of shocked that it’s…
It’s no secret that Italy is one of my favourite places in the world, after the National Parks of America. I love the weather, the romanticism, the food, the more laid-back way of life, the culture and, of course, the history. As a Classics and Latin graduate, I’ve spent a lot of my life learning…
Have you ever felt homesick for a place that you’ve never lived in? I bet you’re all thinking I’m talking Disney thanks to my Disney obsession, but no, for once I’m not! (Although I do feel the Disney Blues far more strongly than you might realise!). In fact, I’m talking the mountains. These places are,…
