Rhodes has a special place in my heart as ti was the last destination of mine and David’s honeymoon. And it was the perfect destination for two history nerds. (CUTE) We spent 4 days on the island exploring every ancient area of interest we could. Because we didn’t get enough of that in England… Stay near the Old Town of…
Leave a CommentThis week Fries on Friday is branching out. I know change is scary but stick with me guys, its going to be ok. Today we are venturing beyond the simple burger, into the mesmerizing sandwiches of Jimmy John’s You may think I am ignoring the whole “Fries on Friday” theme as they don’t serve fries. BUT in my defense, Jimmy…
Leave a CommentAmerica is obsessed with the Britian. (The UK is also obsessed with America but thats a story for another day). They love the Royal Family, the accent, the period dramas (anyone seen the Downton Abbey film yet?!!) The US is so entralled by Great Britain that it has sent Meghan Merkle over to join the monarchy and probably begin opening negotiations…
Leave a CommentOk, I’m not going to lie the main reason why my family and I visited Dubrovnik was to take part in some intense Game of Thrones tourism. And it did not disappoint. We visited before the shockingly awful season 8 finale when we all naively thought these amazingly complex storylines just might accumulate into something. But now we are left…
Leave a CommentLiving abroad is a scary thing, especially when you’ve never done it before and it’s all shiny and new. And lets be real, you’ll probably make many, many mistakes. one of my first mistakes while living abroad was a pretty big one. I put diesel in a petrol (unleaded for you Americans) engine. Let me share with you my tale…
2 CommentsHaving grown up in the South East of the UK, I never really ventured “up north”. To me it was a distant place shrouded in rain, clouds and the sometimes beautiful, sometimes utterly incoherent Northern accent. (Go listen to Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys talk, you’ll see what I mean). Aside from York (which I ADORE) and then Scotland,…
Leave a CommentThe visa process sucks. But it sucks even more if you’re not being realistic, like me. like to think I am a reasonably sensible person. If I’m doing something new, I’m not going to do it perfectly on the first try. (But I’ll get it on the second right??) When I’m out, I know no one is really looking at me and…
2 CommentsIt’s time for the second Fries on Friday and this week I am looking at the ULTIMATE chicken place – Chick-fil-A. I’m not sure what it is, but Chick-fil-A seems to have a sort of cult surrounding it. Whenever I get on to the subject of fast food in America (which is once every 10 minutes) one of the first…
4 CommentsWhen I’m thinking of home, Cambridge is definitely the first place that comes to mind. It’s the city where I grew up, went to school, met some life long friends, got drunk for the first time, had my first kiss, and dated my husband. So I obviously hated it and couldn’t wait to leave. Its actually a really cool place,…
Leave a CommentI thought I knew what I signed up to when I started dating my husband and became a “military girlfriend”. Having grown up in a military family, I knew exactly what a deployment was and could name 1 or 2 planes on a good day. Fast forward 2 and a bit years, we’re married and I’m fully aware of how…
