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
I know people like my chocolate posts so today we have another international tournament: Greek chocolate vs Swedish chocolate! I’m not entirely sure those two countries have ever been pitted together in any arena except football because the Mediterranean cradle of western civilisation has nothing to compare to the Scandinavian seat of northern European power.… More Greek chocolate vs Swedish chocolate
With my six day trek across the Icelandic Highlands now just next month, I had to do some real walking. I packed my tent and headed off to Dartmoor for the weekend – well, for Friday and Saturday anyway, since I needed to be home on Sunday to go to a local music festival. I’d… More I climbed the highest mountain on Dartmoor
I’ve already written about the Tombs of the Kings and the Pafos Mosaics but we spent a lot of time visiting Roman ruins. Family Frost is not really one for sitting on the beach turning red. We’re not really big on culture either but there doesn’t seem to be much of a third option in… More Photoset: Roman ruins in Cyprus
Ok, it wasn’t quite solo but when you’re a 14-year-old girl flying to Italy, a travelling companion who is also a 14-year-old girl doesn’t count. Not only were we flying alone, we didn’t know the people who’d be meeting us at the other end. We weren’t 100% sure there would be anyone to meet us… More I went on my first solo adventure when I was 14
Let’s take a break from the ruins and antiquities and delve into the villa I stayed in in Cyprus. A villa is brand new territory for me. I admit, I’m very much not a fan of the hostel – I can’t be doing with sleeping in a loud room with a dozen loud strangers –… More A villa with a pool in Cyprus
Two blogs into my Cyprus series and you may already be getting the idea that we spent a lot of time visiting ruins. I had a guidebook and I read it before we went but somehow I never connected with the words and it took until we were there to realise how many ruins there… More The Pafos Mosaics
Post 1 in an ongoing series on my week-long trip to Cyprus! In short: I went on my first real family holiday since 2011 and my first real sun-hunting holiday ever. We stayed in a huge but echoey villa near Coral Bay with our own pool and I have a list of about ten posts… More In the Tombs of the Kings
Booking The big big thing this month is that I’ve booked my flights and accommodation! Yay! I put it off for a really long time because flights on Icelandair are getting expensive and they no longer include luggage by default. Quite frankly, I put it off because I didn’t want to hand over my money… More The Laugavegur (Prep) Diaries: part 3
AKA “What I packed for Cyprus”. This is out of my comfort zone. I’m used to cold places, I’m used to packing thermals and gloves and warm socks. The last time I packed, barely a month ago, I was packing snowboots and I spent the trip sliding on the ice. And from your perspective, I… More A cold person packs for a hot place
