With the clocks now well and truly back for many, it will now be dark both when your alarm goes off in the morning – meaning you will no doubt be getting ready with the sun only just starting to rise outside the window – and leaving work when it has already set. Cosy and...

We still have a few months left of the winter season. Of bitterly cold mornings, weather warnings and the potential for snow, not to mention the early sunsets gracing us whilst many of us are still at work.

My first ever trip abroad was a week long holiday to Iceland with my parents. I know, I said the first trip I planned was my Thailand adventure, which is very true. My mum and dad didn’t think a fifteen hour flight with a stopover in Oslo should have been my first experience of flying,...

Hello from Norway! At this very moment I’m sitting in my hostel room in Oslo congratulating myself on a job well done. I’ve been using Google maps on my phone to navigate my way around the city, and it’s been working well so far. Until today. Today, perhaps because of the cold, my phone died...

autumn leaves
So, we haven’t exactly had the most amazing summer this year. Between boiling hot and blustering winds, to carrying an umbrella ‘just in case’, our summer has been a bit of a wash out.
