A Trip to London Zoo and Camden
When I started work in Camden, it just felt natural to me, because I socialize there all the time, so imagine my horror when my Mum admitted she had never been to Camden. Granted, she hates the tube, so it’s not that surprising, but she’s quite a funner so I set about organising a weekend…

The Chelsea Harbour Hotel
My Mum hates flying. As you can imagine, this puts a bit of a spanner in the works if I want to take her away somewhere for her birthday. So for this year, my browsing through booking.com led us to the Chelsea harbour hotel. Set with marina views in the most central location of the harbour,…

It’s More Fun in the Philippines
A trip to the Philippines… I sat on the tarmac on what would be my seat for the next 6hrs and 55mins, and thought to myself as I usually do before I start a long haul flight – “Why do I do it to myself?” Watching the lovely UK weather give my Airbus’s window a…

Thorpe Park – Ride Review
I hate kids. I hate crowds. Actually, within the last few years, I think I’ve learned that I basically hate people. This is why, it was a shock as much to myself as anyone when the words ‘shall we go to Thorpe Park on Bank Holiday Monday?’ came out of my mouth. I mean, if…
