Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, endless shopping streets — London has it all. But why not spend your time doing something a bit more unique? For many people, a day out in the UK’s capital will consist of exploring the many different sights there are to see and spending some well-earned cash in the […]

As you will have seen on my previous post, I recently teamed up with a gang of friends, one of whom suffers from MS, to do the 20k MS Charity Walk and raise money for the MS Society.  We smashed out £1000 target and got to see some great views along the way, so I thought […]

If there’s something you may have gathered about me by now it’s that I have some really Yorkshire pride!  Being from Yorkshire has always felt like more than just a fact, it’s an identity, and there are some really good reasons for it.  My dad has always said Yorkshire is God’s county and although I […]

Over a month ago I was lucky enough to spend a week at my boyfriend’s parent’s house, situated in a gorgeous picturesque village near Barrow-in-Furness and Ulverston.  Looking at the weather this week it seems like a lifetime ago already, but I thought I’d share some pics to show you guys what I got up […]

My boyfriend’s parents live in Kirby-In-Furness in the Lake District and it is such a beautiful part of the world.  From their house it is a 5-minute walk across a railway line to the sea, there is no beach but the view is incredible.  Unfortunately, most of the times I have been to visit the […]

There are many places in the UK I would love to visit, but unfortunately, I’ve not yet had a chance.  I have only just passed my driving test and I still don’t have a car.  I’ve always had to rely on trains, which sometimes isn’t just inconvenient, it’s also very expensive!  That’s why I have […]

For anyone who knows me, you will know I am defiantly not a morning person.  I love my bed, and as soon as the weekend is near I am looking forward to turning my alarm off and having a good old chill out in bed.  So when I was asked by Free Office Finder to be part […]

Myself and Harry went to explore Southend-on-Sea last weekend after deciding we wanted a day out at the seaside.  We chose Southend because it was the closest to where Harry lives and has the reputation of being the quintessential British seaside town.  So despite the terrible forecast, we took off to check out the sights.
