During my time spent on Planet Earth, I have learned that there are typically four different kinds of people in life… There are those you won’t particularly care for, and those that don’t much like you either (and there’s no point in losing sleep over them!). There are those whose company you enjoy, and who […]
Food
Of Old and New – Borough Market and Tate Modern – London
I am taking you on a little London photo walk, starting off at the Tate Modern. This intimidating behemoth of a building started off life as a power station before joining the Tate Family, rising out of its once dilapidated state into something truly glorious – a little like Battersea Power Station is doing today. […]
Foodcycling
If I am completely honest with you, I haven’t made that much of an effort to make friends here locally. It comes with a certain ex-expat weariness that transient friend making brings – mostly because I know that we are not staying in Cambridge for much longer. Plus, there’s always the slightly lazy certainty that […]
Copenhagen Eats
A post full of Copenhagen Eats from our anniversary weekend away, before the festive onslaught really begins, and people get a bit sick of the sight of anything food (I am still kicking myself for not getting around to writing up our Japan food adventures – I have plenty of weird and wonderful photos from […]
Scratching Stockholm’s Surface
As we have only ever been to Malmö (popping over the bridge regularly to do less expensive massive food shops when we lived in Copenhagen – probably the time my cardamom bun addiction first formed come to think of it!) and beautiful Ystad (home to Wallander for those that remember it – and a place […]
A Birthday in Bury St Edmunds
Continuing with my mission to treat this area as I would a new expat location, and to see as many new places as we can in my own country… When my darling Mum offered to look after the children for a night so we could go away for my birthday weekend recently, we headed to […]
Beach Food – Rinlo Asturias
You have to hand it to Asturias, it has some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen… To think that all this is less than two hours plane ride from the UK… There are so many beaches to choose from along its coastline, with a huge variety of natural things to keep small […]
Lovely Ljubljana
I honestly think, that if you visit a city on a day when the weather is unbelievably bad, and you still come away thinking, “that was really lovely” (despite being soaked to the skin, and having had to invest in a Belgian (or should that be Slovenian) Waffle to warm you up on the way […]
Autumn Apple Cake – German Style
It may well reach temperatures of over 31ºC today, but Autumn is just about here… The mornings are much much cooler, and the days tend to start with fields full of mist at the back of the house. The evenings are definitely drawing in, plus there are spiders and daddy-longlegs in abundance… But, I LOVE […]
A Birthday at Theresa’s – Hotel Theresa – Zell im Zillertal
If you are not overly familiar with Austria’s Tyrol region, you might imagine it to be a place to visit exclusively in the winter – when the snow is deep, the sauna’s are ready to soothe any ski induced aches and pains, and dinner typically involves some form of melted cheese… Of course it does […]
