I got an email from a reader back in September. That’s not a common thing for me. It was about coping with ARFID on a school trip and I thought that might be a useful thing to pop up on the blog. Apart from the fact that it’s my blog and I can talk about what… More How to manage school trips with ARFID
I have many Christmas traditions (these three decorations must go here, here and here on the Christmas tree, making mince pies with Dad, putting out the boots, eating my body weight in After Eights) and one of them is that on the day after Boxing Day (or the day after that, depending on whether there’s a… More Christmas Adventure at West Bay
It’s Tuesday and it’s the first new video of 2024! Today’s video is the second part of my new ten-part series called “Is this the best geothermal pool in Iceland?” and we’re off to Myvatn Nature Baths! YouTube is really confusing me – last week’s Blue Lagoon video is, after about 56 hours, my fourth… More New video: Myvatn Nature Baths – is this the best geothermal pool in Iceland?
Well, 2024 on the blog started well! In everything else that was going on, I forgot to finish today’s post and I let Thursday’s sneak out early (and when it was still only a paragraph long too!). Idiot. That’s because I’ve not been properly at my desk recently. I’m back now! Going to get everything… More A reintroduction for 2024
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
