Defeated but Happy

Defeated but Happy

This is me sweating my face off after running yesterday. Don’t worry. The fact that I was a big, sweaty mess did not stop me sitting in Starbucks for at least an hour afterwards with an iced coffee and blueberry scone. I’m not ashamed to be the smelly person you try to avoid. Finally, one [...]

The theme of my posts have been coming in waves recently. Last week it was all about Travel. This week it’s all about the food (with a little bit of travel thrown in there). Maybe one day I’ll do some exercise that I can write about. Or maybe not. Who knows? Aaaanyway. Onto the food. [...]

A Cold Disappointment

A Cold Disappointment

Jimmy and I generally don’t enjoy taking organised tours to attractions. There’s something about being shipped on and off a bus and being given timescales that takes the fun out of travel. A short drive in the minivan with a tour at 5am, it became evident why it would have been almost impossible for us [...]
