Without making assumptions, I think it’s safe to say that after the train-wreck that was 2020, we are all probably more than due a holiday or at the very least a long weekend away. Thanks to travel restrictions and general uncertainty, however, it’s official that overseas holidays are out, and staycations are in. This is [...]
Ireland is a part of the UK that I must admit, I haven’t explored anywhere near as much as I wish I had. Don’t worry, though, because once permitted to do so, I do intend on rectifying that. On the times when I have visited Ireland, I’ve left wanting to return and can safely [...]
As you are all probably aware by now, I love Scotland and can’t wait until I get to visit once again. I’ve always been a fan of Scotland, I love the scenery, I love the history, I love the culture, I can’t get enough of the food and drink, and of course, I love the [...]
I’m not ashamed to admit that every now and then, I like to watch a cheesy 80s action movie, read a few excepts from a celebrity gossip magazine, and even, shock horror, watch reality TV for a few minutes before my brain turns to mush. Sometimes, however, I like to pour myself a fine [...]
Robin Hood is a name synonymous with British folklore, and for decades now, this green-hooded outlaw had been depicted in the media, on TV, in cartoons, in books, poems, and movies.

If you’ve never visited the county of Cornwall in the UK, I implore you to visit as it is one of the nicest parts of the UK, and that really is saying something. When I first visited Cornwall, one thing I noticed was just how much different it felt to the rest of the UK. [...]
If you’re anything like me, you’ll enjoy the occasional alcoholic beverage every now and then, perhaps a little too much on the odd occasion, and rightfully so. For me personally, if I had to describe my ideal winter’s evening, I’d be sat in front of a roaring fire, relaxing with a good book in one [...]
Whisky is one of the world’s most popular alcoholic beverages, and if you’re like me and you enjoy a small tipple or a wee dram now and then, you’ll find today’s topic particularly interesting I’m sure. Why? Because today I’m talking to you about Whisky. Whisky is a beverage steeped in history and tradition, and [...]
When you think of the UK, what’s the first thing that springs to mind? Is it the copious amounts of tea they drink? Perhaps it’s the way they apologise several hundred times per day, even if they’re not in the wrong? It could even be the national dish of fish and chips? Whilst the aforementioned [...]
