The thing about Ireland is that it’s green. And whilst I had previously been under the impression that this was due to hordes of leprechauns emerging at night with watering cans, it turns out that the reality is that it’s because the clouds love Ireland. And who can blame them? It’s a lovely place, filled […]

How we nearly became millionaires in New Zealand
Our year of work and travel in New Zealand had come to an end, as all good things tend to do. It was time to pick up the loose ends and get ready to move somewhere else. One loose end was Bernie, our trusty van, which we had to sell. Now this task can be […]
In Photos: From the Facebook Page Edition XI
And hello! Another month, another round up of some of the most popular images from the Facebook page over the last few weeks. I’m particularly proud of some of these shots this month – they’ve been really popular, with most of the shots getting a lot of likes and comments. Which is always nice! In […]

Tips for Dealing with Street Dogs in Asia
When we were in Thailand, we definitely noticed that there are street dogs everywhere! You’ll find them on the streets, around the temples, on the beaches – pretty much everywhere you go you’ll come across street dogs. They are an accepted part of life over there, and we never witnessed anyone shouting at them or […]
In photos: Some explosively pretty clouds
It’s coming up on the end of the week, and it seems that the glorious summery weather that Europe has been throwing at us for the last three months or so is coming to an end. Whilst the sun worshippers might be upset, I’m not too bothered. Sure, the dropping temperatures are a bit of […]

Road trips! What’s not to love? The stereo blaring, scenery rolling by mile after mile, the freedom to just pull over and gawp at whatever takes your fancy. As you can probably tell, I do enjoy a good road trip, and today I’m going to share four of my absolute favourites from my travels that, […]
Loi Krathong in Sukhothai
Whenever I want to write about Sukhothai, I feel overwhelmed. Although we were only there for three days, with the help of the Thailand Tourist Board we got to see so many amazing things – how do you do that justice? Where do you even start? So I opted for a slightly more manageable chunk […]
In Photos: From the Facebook Page Edition X
And so we mark the fourteenth month of Facebook Page image roundups with this, the tenth edition. Rather unusually, this month’s update has a lot of portrait oriented shots. Am I auditioning for National Geographic you ask? Well, no (I mean, if they call I’m not going to turn them down). It just seems to […]

Imagine my excitement therefore when visiting the Brindisi region of Italy recently, to be told that we were going to […]
