LEGO forms some of my earliest childhood memories. I can vaguely remember spending one Christmas at my cousins house where I received a great, huge LEGO castle as a present from my parents. Needless to say I had that castle set built before dinner, following the instruction manual step by step until the draw-bridge was […]
I am yet to go snowboarding this season, although to be fair the snow is only just starting to fall across most of Europe’s premium boarding spots. But, does the fact that I have not boarded yet mean that I cannot yet enjoy a little apres ski? Hmm, why not start the season as I […]
Ha! … and she actually thought I was taking her shopping. An evening of shopping just after payday? Not a chance! I wasn’t been mean though, it wasn’t a tease. We were heading towards the shopping centre for good reason … just not the reason she thought/hoped for.
I love the movies, and luckily so does my […]
Avoiding the tube strikes was a minor miracle, avoiding the floods was other worldly. We could not escape the wind and rain however, and so upon exiting Liverpool Street station it was hold onto your hats, umbrellas and any other lose items you may have on your person at the time. Ah springtime in London, […]
Combine travel bloggers, a few cocktails, the theme of Lapland, plus a crash course in ice sculpting and what do you get? Polar bears … and the odd piece of male anatomy. Sometimes I wonder about the sanity of bloggers. There aren’t even any polar bears in Lapland.

Despite my usual hit and miss spelling and grammar, my spelling of Stik in that opening line is with intent. You see, somewhat out of character, I’m trying to be […]
I like food, a lot. I’m also quite fond of London. Therefore you would imagine that combining the two would prove a most satisfactory way to spend a day. You would be right!
Last weekend I was lucky enough to be invited on a London food tour with the good folk of Eating London (@EatingLondon). They were […]
3 … 2 … 1 … COLOOOOOOOOUR!
Screams the MC as everyone of us in the 15k strong crowd goes wild and launches a rainbow into the London summertime sky above. Our previously white clothing is now a mash of reds, purples, blues, greens and yellows. Our hair is also matted in a mesh of colour […]
“Looks at all these nerds”
