Garden Route, South Africa Ok, so a big reason I love this postcard is clearly because there are dolphins surfing waves on it (which is why it was chosen for me). Awesome. Also, I actually like the tattered look it has – suggests to me that it’s come from far away and had quite the … Continue reading
My dad has always told me that St Paul’s Cathedral is his favourite building in London (an architectural beauty I’m sure I’ll include on the blog soon), and from that little nugget of information, it’s sometimes struck me to ask people, “What’s your favourite building in London?” St Paul’s Cathedral is definitely a popular response. … Continue reading
Prague, Czech Republic Prague and this postcard need little explanation. It’s actually not from anyone – we just have the postcard in the house. It’s not hard to see why, as it’s a beautiful image of Prague’s Old Town Square. To the left you can just about make out the Astronomical Clock – a view … Continue reading
I started this blog when I was studying in Australia in 2012, but I knew next to nothing about blogging. I forgot to post on it, I wasn’t very informative or descriptive and I would post about something weeks after it happened, like when I wrote about the Great Ocean Road. I’m not sure I … Continue reading
I don’t know if you remember, but I used to do a little feature called Postcard Perfect – obviously an ingenius play on ‘Picture Perfect’. Well: I’m bringing it back. I used to scan my photos, but my scanner became a little temperamental, and I realised I may not even be lucky enough to always … Continue reading

Maybe they’re what you’d like to do in the future, or even planning on it. Another lot of you who clicked on this … Continue reading
London’s Notting Hill Carnival is miles away from the cute streets in the film, Notting Hill (metaphorically speaking). Over the two days in August – Sunday 24th to bank holiday Monday 25th 2014 – it transforms into an all-consuming, raucous street party full of the most colour you’ll probably ever see in London in one … Continue reading
I’ve entered my fair share of competitions, and I have an even fairer share of selfies – as it seems with the rest of the world! So, combine these and what do you get? A great competition from Cosmos Holidays called #SelfieStories – basically, upload a selfie (let’s face it, we all probably have a … Continue reading
I’ll never, ever say I’m a country sort of girl. I grew up in London and I feel weird without the hustle and bustle of a city. I like background sound, constant moving and frankly, I love getting irrationally pissed off at strangers. When I’m in London, I’m a woman on a misson: A to … Continue reading
It was brimming with midges. Everywhere, these massive insects would be invading me, with no sense of personal space. I won’t say I didn’t mind. I did. With mosquitos, they love me, all over the world. I had no reason to suspect midges would think any differently, and I was already stinking with bug repellent … Continue reading
