Whenever I think of a blog post title in advance of actually doing the trip, nothing ever goes to plan (see: A Perfect Weekend In Perthshire, which was far from perfect).

Meres, Tarns & Waters: A Short Stint In The Lake District
Last month, we finally crossed the border for the first time in eighteen months - over to the beautiful Lake District.

But although travel hasn't been my number one priority this year, I've kept… Continue reading 2017 In Review: Challenges, Travel, Home & Blogging
Five Cities, Six Buses, Two Trains, One Week: My UK Adventure

A weekend turned into a "long weekend" when I thought it might be a good idea to take an earlier ferry just in case, and my plan… Continue reading Five Cities, Six Buses, Two Trains, One Week: My UK Adventure
Clazz’s 2017 Challenges: February Update
Hey guys! I have just returned from an epic week-long trip around the UK where I hit up Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, London and Sussex, saw one of my favourite bands, caught up with a whole bunch of friends, and acted like a tourist in places I've been a million times. It was a really great… Continue reading Clazz’s 2017 Challenges: February Update
