Weekends without children rarely happen in our house, except for birthdays and anniversaries when we often manage to leave Super Gran in charge and head off somewhere (thanks Mum!)… Given the fact that Mr R was flying in from the US last Friday afternoon, I hadn’t wanted to book anywhere too far away just in […]

Sunday Photo – Following in Footsteps
I can’t get enough of Autumn in all her glory… Making the most of it before November blows it all out. I had a “few days off” this past week as life took over. Back in the next couple of days with a look at Blackpool and a huge Day trips from Munich post… Happy […]
Lunch in the Clouds
I don’t like to rely solely on the main travel/eatery recommendation sites out there when exploring, I much prefer to opt for local (often more reliable, and often more interesting) recommendations instead. The bigger sites can after all often be unfairly manipulated by businesses, and it’s good to remember that what is seen as the […]
A Saturday Kitchen with Baked by Romanos
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 […]
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 […]
