Week 12: Part Four – The Scottish Highlands including Loch Ness

Friday, 17 Jun 2011 | Views [464]

It was about this point in the trip where I realised that I have a smart phone; a smart phone with Google Maps. Who needs ask for directions to small unknown streets when they have a smart phone with Google Maps? Thank God for that realisation otherwise ... Read more >

Week 12: Part Three – Newcastle and Hadrian’s Wall

Friday, 17 Jun 2011 | Views [697]

What do Newcastle and Liverpool have in common? No idea? Neither do I. One is near the east coast; the other is near the west coast of the UK, yet I kept calling Newcastle, Liverpool for the whole trip. So in the future if I ever say I went to Liverpool, ... Read more >

Thursday, 16 Jun 2011 | Views [1671]

Want to keep your brain active and alert? Want to prevent Alzheimer’s? Forget about brain training and Sudoku, just grab a (sketchy) map of the UK, jump in a car and find your way to your next destination! Okay, so I shouldn’t have expected that the ‘A ... Read more >

Week 12: Part One - Brighton and Warwick Castle

Thursday, 16 Jun 2011 | Views [815]

I’m not a big city girl. I need to live where there are trees, mountains and preferably a lake or some other body of water. This notion was further re-enforced on my recent road trip around the UK (excluding Northern Ireland ;-) ) Not only is it absolutely ... Read more >

Week 11 – I need a holiday!!!

Monday, 30 May 2011 | Views [961]

Before I left I read an article about how stressful it is to plan a holiday. ‘Stressful?’ I thought ‘All you need to do is book the flights and the accommodation. How on earth can that be stressful?’ Naive and inexperienced traveller that I was; the ... Read more >

Week 10 which was a rather uneventful week

Monday, 23 May 2011 | Views [595]

On the rare occasion that I used to go away on holiday, or just away for the weekend, I used to really resent coming back to work, and I mean really resent it. I used to sit under a black cloud for weeks muttering under my breath, and if it wasn’t ... Read more >

Week 8 where Photography is Sometimes Permitted

Monday, 9 May 2011 | Views [556]

Instead of buying souvenirs I prefer to take photos as a reminder of the places I’ve visited. Some places however, visitors are not allowed to take photos which means the memory of the place will very easily just slip my mind. Now I can understand not ... Read more >

Friday, 6 May 2011 | Views [512]

In the UK we’ve had two extra long weekends in a row; the Easter long weekend and the Royal Wedding/Labour Day long weekend. If I was a salaried employee I would have been over the moon, instead I spent the week living like the unemployed and losing ... Read more >

Week 6: Don't expect the unexpected

Tuesday, 26 Apr 2011 | Views [403]

Unexpected things in life usually have a more immediate impact on us than things we know are going to occur. Which is probably why when I turned around after re-adjusting a chair in the lobby at Claridge's and Russell Brand was an arm's distance ... Read more >
