This is the one where we didn’t go to Tivoli Gardens!  I know the story goes that this is the place that inspired Walt Disney but my husband and I are not into fair rides.  However, if we had our daughter with us it would have been a completely different story and a much different [...]

We’ve just spent the weekend in Copenhagen, the Cultural Capital of Denmark.  The city is awash with culture; countless museums, art galleries, modern architecture, theaters, year round festivals, sophisticated dining and Chic Boutiques. I’m not known for my sophistication and I spent a good part of the weekend taking pictures of local signs that made [...]

What the h*ll is Geocaching?

11 May 2012 4 comments

The best way I can describe it is an outdoor treasure hunt using GPS.  You download an app onto your phone, which is £6.99 from the iTunes Store but the rest is free.

Some may call it Glamping….

10 May 2012 4 comments

I’ve slept rough in a public park in Budapest, got eaten alive in a hammock in Honduras, have camped wild in Canada and I once woke up behind a chair in my sitting room; so I think I’ve done my fair share of roughing it. So, when we were offered the chance, once I had [...]
