Lake Windermere holds a special place in my heart and always will do. It’s where I spent all my summers and I have the happiest memories of being there. Yes it rains quite a bit of the time and yes it’s a few degrees colder than the south of England, but the beautiful scenery easily […]
Wild World of Rhinos: Their Moment of Truth – Helping Rhinos Charity
The subject of this post is slightly different to what I usually talk about but it’s an issue I feel strongly about. The crisis of Rhino poaching, or poaching of any animal, is something that needs to change so I decided to write about this to help raise awareness. I recently attended the Helping Rhinos […]
¡Hola Mexico! – Zihuatanejo – Part 2

Aside from the hastily made sandwiches that we smuggled out every breakfast we did treat ourselves to a couple of meals out… Lunch: We decided to go to the Hildr Gastro Bar on a very cold afternoon when we just needed to get warm!
