It was my last day in Edinburgh. My flight back to London was at 5.55pm, and while I was sad to leave, I didn't want to waste the morning! We decided to visit Craigmillar Castle. We were going to do this the Saturday before, the day I had arrived, but had instead decided to visit …

On the last full day of my holiday we decided to take one last trip into central Edinburgh. I still hadn't explored the New Town, so that was our main reason for visiting. I enjoyed the New Town; it was lovely, but I didn't connect to it as much as I did the Old Town. …

However, I didn't think this guide was as good …
Tuesday started slowly, and after work we dragged ourselves into the car. It was overcast, and we were so tired, but also excited because today was the day we were going to see the Royal Yacht Britannia. Based in Leith, HMS Britannia was previously used as The Queen's yacht, and was a royal residence, but …
Have you ever watched a film and wondered where you might have seen that setting before? Many picturesque cities in England are used for filming even if they aren't the setting, maybe as stand ins for other places or just for ease of filming. Here are three beloved English citites, and how they have been …
The day started hilariously with my cousin's dog stealing a croissant and us chasing her, trying to get it back. We failed spectacularly, but it gave us a laugh, and it turned out to kind of set up the day. I had to work in the morning, but our afternoon started at Maison de Moggy. …
On Tuesday 29th May, I went to see Great Expectations at the Churchill Thetare in Bromley. The play was a retelling of Dickens' classic, and starred Nichola McAuliffe. The casting of Nichola McAuliffe was a major push in the marketing, and was one of the reasons I went to see the play. The idea of …
