It’s coming up to the end of another year and I’m going to have another look back at what I’ve done over the last twelve months – it’s been busy! I’ve really got back into travel! I’ve not camped as much as I’d like, I’ve kayaked quite a bit and I’ve felt like I’m chasing… More 2023 in review
Happy Boxing Day to all who celebrate and welcome to a new video series. This is the first of a ten-part series on “which is the best geothermal pool / lagoon / spa / hot spring / geothermal experience” in Iceland. Now, I’ve struggled hugely with what to call this. There are ten of these… More New video: The Blue Lagoon – is this the best geothermal pool in Iceland?
Happy Christmas! Yes, it’s Christmas Day and there’s a new blog post. Well, it’s a Monday, you see, and I post on a Monday! Maybe I could do something a bit more festive but we haven’t had an Iceland Itinerary in December and I thought I’d do something happy. All my favourite places! Expect to… More Iceland Itineraries: My Favourite Places
It’s Christmas Eve, it’s the last of my 12 Days of Christmas, you’ve already seen what I packed for this little trip, you’ve had a tour of my little church and now we get to the blog where I tell you about what I did. I did very little. I sat in the hot tub,… More A winter weekend away glamping in Cornwall
I thought it might be nice to watch a winter, Christmas or Arctic-related film or TV show as part of the 12 Days of Christmas but there’s nothing particularly new at the moment. Was it two years ago now that Iceland appeared on about six TV shows in three days? Not finding that this year.… More Light Attaching to a Girl review
It seems I’ve never posted my film photos from Iceland this summer and now seems like a good time because I’ve just started with a brand new film camera – it’s an elderly SLR so it’s got settings and learning what all of them do is going to be my project for 2024. I say “brand… More Iceland on film
I’m back to Iceland this week! Two whole weeks off on the videos and I’m back! I’m back with a video an hour and a quarter long chronicling my trip to Iceland over this summer. Umm… if you’re watching my videos as and when I’m putting them out (and if you’re not, why not??), you’ll have… More New video: Iceland in summer
Good news: Iceland is having another eruption! Better news: at time of writing, it’s flowing away from major infrastructure like Grindavik, the Blue Lagoon and the Svartsengi geothermal power station! After all the rumblings and theories of the last three months or so, it seems to have popped up in the best possible place of… More Volcano special: Sundhnúkagígar
And we come at last to the end of the alphabet! I always regret these A-Zs as I get to the difficult letters, the last six or so and this one is no exception. It’s been a year since I had this idea while walking around Frankfurt. I filled in about two-thirds of the letters… More The A-Z of Solo Female Travel: Z is for Zeal
I know, 12 Days of Christmas and I’m off on a summer holiday in Corfu. These December posts are supposed to be wintery, if not actually Christmassy Well, back in September, when everyone was posting photos of their kids on the doorstep with large markings on their clothes showing what school they attend, I went… More My first holiday
