Two surprising things: a new installment in the Useful Travel Items series and… raving about Crocs. Yeah, I’m a convert. I never thought I’d be telling the internet how much I enjoy my ugly plastic clogs but here we are. On one main condition, anyway. They’re not my favourite shoes ever but Crocs are the… More Useful Travel Items: Crocs, the best glamping shoe
I’m staying in a cottage! An actual cottage in a quaint little English village! My parents planned to go to Austria but for… reasons… I decided not to go with them, and then they didn’t go anyway. But I did have vague ideas of having a “wellness break” in December and so this is it.… More Winter cottage tour
In mid-June and late July, I went camping just off the edge of Dartmoor. It was supposed to be two weekends in June but the campsite was booked out and so I had to change my dates (and got a free night thrown in). I’d like to talk about the campsite but I have such… More Oaktree Lane Dartmoor campsite review | Camping on Dartmoor July 2021
I was excited about this. I checked my emails multiple times a day in the hopes of hearing something about this and here it is! Anna McNuff‘s new book, Bedtime Adventure Stories For Grown Ups is out mid May and I’ve already read it! Full disclosure, I signed up to Anna’s Trail Team mailing list… More Bedtime Adventure Stories For Grown Ups by Anna McNuff

But this is the first time I’ve talked about YouTube. Ed Venturing was supposed to be a “video podcast” but it’s not, it’s a YouTube series and… More YouTube review: Ed Venturing
I went to London last weekend. I do from time to time. I saw my favourite comedian doing his current tour show at the Leicester Square Theatre on Friday night and I saw my favourite actor doing a Shakespeare play I’d never heard of at the Globe Theatre on Saturday night and I stayed over… More Review: easyHotel South Kensington
The night before I went to Stockholm, I stayed in a purple pod in Gatwick. It’s called Yotel (and I’m not sponsored; I’m just surprised more people don’t know about it). It’s a chain, with hotels in Gatwick, Heathrow, Paris CDG, Amsterdam Schiphol, Singapore, Boston & New York. I’ve only stayed in the Gatwick one.… More Staying in Gatwick’s purple pods
I don’t really do reviews, not of companies, but I want to talk a bit about Grayline. (I need to add that this is not sponsored, although if you’re reading this, Grayline…) When I first went to Iceland in 2011, believing pretty much that the ground would split open inches from your feet on every… More Review: Grayline Iceland
