I lived in Leeds for 10 years. I love this city in England, I came here to study at the University of Leeds, and stayed around for several years after that. However, I am ashamed to admit that in all that time I didn’t appreciate everything I had on my doorstep. True, Leeds has changed […]
The Northern Irish Coastline is incredibly beautiful. There aren’t quite enough superlatives to describe the variety and drama of the cliffs, beaches, castle ruins and UNESCO World Heritage sites. The whole of the Causeway Coastal Route is fascinating, and if you have a few days to spend in Northern Ireland then you should take the […]
Everyone in the UK (and beyond) has heard about the political murals in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In fact, that was pretty much the only thing I knew about Belfast before I came here. However, after spending several days exploring the city, I discovered that there is far more to Belfast than it’s difficult past. Yes, […]
I adore afternoon tea. I’ve had delicious afternoon teas in cities all over the UK including some of the best afternoon teas in York, and a themed afternoon tea in London, so when I read about afternoon tea at the Titanic Museum in Belfast, I knew I had to give it a try. There are […]

Yup, another article about food – you should know me well enough by now! This time I planned a whole trip around food in the beautiful county of Yorkshire in the north of England, just in time for Yorkshire Day! I have spent most of my life in the north of England, and adore it, […]
Oh food how I love thee, let me count the ways… well, I won’t count them all, but trust me, there are many! I’ve tried a food tour in Prague, a cooking class in Mexico City, a combination of both in Bogota, and even when I’m in my home country of England I love trying […]
Shakespeare has come to York. I was really in York to find delicious food, but when Ana from Visit York told me that I could watch Shakespeare I couldn’t resist! The Rose Theatre York is a pop-up theatre that is just here for 10 weeks over the summer and is a fantastic opportunity to see […]
I was back in London again, but this time for a good cause. I was climbing up the O2 arena, the old Millennium Dome to raise money for Canine Partners, an amazing charity which helps to train puppies to become assistance dogs to help people with disabilities. The climb up the O2 was great fun […]
