It has been a year since my Granny passed away. To commemorate this, our family took a trip to Kew Gardens. This was a favourite place for both my grandparents who were keen gardeners.
Gerlos, Zillertal Arena – Austria
This would be my second time skiing in Austria. I last visited the country in 2016 when I travelled alone to the tiny, beautiful village of Vent near the major ski resort of Sölden in the Otztal valley.
Hanwell Zoo – Ealing, London
Despite having lived in Ealing for over 2 years now, I am still discovering local areas and attractions.
The Living Rainforest – Newbury, Berkshire
I woke up early on Sunday for a 'risk assessment' visit to The Living Rainforest for a science school trip I am planning to take some of my pupils on. It was also a chance for me to get some photos of some exotic animals and plants.
Christmas 2018 – Limburg, Netherlands
A return visit to the Limburg region of the Netherlands and the Northern Westphalia area of Germany.
Oslo to Bergen – Norway
Very rarely do I return to a country I have already visited but Norway is different. It is definitely my all time favourite country I have visited (so far) and will continue to visit in the future.
Ealing Half Marathon 2018
Unfortunately I didn't enter the Ealing Half this year, I could have but I've got this thing... I couldn't be bothered. The event is always well organised and I used the race as an opportunity to try out my brand new camera.
London Cartel International Auto Show – South of England Show Ground
Cars have always been a big part of my life since I have been old enough to drive. They have provided me with a bottomless bucket to throw any disposable income into, they have caused me stress, blood, sweat and swearwords...They have also brought me much joy and enabled me to learn a lot of home mechanics and feel accomplished that I can take on practical challenges using these skills.
Faroe Islands
Of all the countries I've visited, the Scandinavian nations are by far and away my favourite. I'm a fan of colder climates and having already visited Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Denmark; the somewhat obscure allure of the Faroe Islands seemed to be the sensible choice for my next destination.
Scotland
Scotland will always be a special place for me. I spent many holidays and Christmases in and around Edinburgh, visiting grandparents and family and I still visit every couple of years. It holds a great amount of nostalgia for me and I still see the city as a unique and beautiful place to visit.
