Get Organised for Holiday – Now that we’re all starting to think about holidays and travel again, it’s time to start getting organised. It’s all well and good thinking about where we might jet off to, or the cocktails we’ll soon be sipping, but in order to get the most out of any trip – organisation is key. I have to admit, I am someone that loves to write a list and get things ticked off; so organising things like this are quite fun for me. However, I know that isn’t the same for everyone. Here are 4 ways to get organised for holiday. [Read more…]

Brighton’s Best Views | i360 Viewing Tower
Over the bank holiday, I was lucky enough to be invited to Brighton to take a trip on the i360 viewing tower and I am so glad I went!
We expected Brighton to be busy as it was Bank Holiday Monday so we pre-booked a parking space – super organised I know! It took a little while to find the parking but once we did, it was perfect! We headed to the viewing tower queue and managed to make the 3pm flight.
A Rainy Saturday in London
Despite loving London and even living there for 2 years, I don’t go there nearly often enough! There is something magical about arriving into London, I’ve always loved it! When I lived up North I would arrive into the city via Euston and last weekend I got there via Waterloo and both were just as exciting!
This time, I went around London Bridge and the local area there. It’s an area I haven’t seen much of, but I am glad I took the plunge and visited. I took my partner’s daughter and we explored so much of the city in one day, it really was action-packed! Next time I might splash out on a London Bridge Hotel and make a weekend of it!
We started the day at the British Museum before a trip to Harrods (just for a window-shop!). We then went from there to London Bridge to meet some friends for a long, leisurely lunch. We browsed a little bit of Borough Market, had a walk around the local area and accidentally stumbled across Doughnut Time – which was a very, very happy accident. [Read more…]

Why I Want To Visit Thailand
Although I am not much of a traveller, I often think about places I would like to visit if I could. There are some amazing places in the world and in an ideal world I would get to visit some of these. However, I don’t want to visit the usual places for the usual reasons – as ever, I’d like to do something a little different!
For example. I would really like to visit Thailand, Japan and other places in that direction, because of the amazing confectionery they have. If you follow me on social media you may have noticed that I am a big fan of unusual sweets and snacks, and often visit oriental supermarkets to catch up.
