Black Country Living Museum
I can’t recommend a trip to the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley enough. If you are in Birmingham, it’s an easy taxi ride from the city. Going through the ticket gate, you time-travel from modern day Britain, right back to daily Edwardian life. It’s a great museum for children with a programme of events […]
An afternoon in Lugano
Is there a nicer way to spend a day than having coffee, sitting in the sun and catching up with family? My parents had a brilliant few days exploring Sils Maria and were travelling back to Zurich, with an overnight in this beautiful lakeside town, so I stopped by to join them. It was so […]

If you’re in Austin Texas and I could tell you only one thing to do, it’s Chicken sh*t bingo! It may sounds like a joke but it’s quite honestly, one of the the most fun and quirky things you’ll be a part of. How it all started The idea came from a musician who approached […]

One room at the Banksy hotel please
The Walled Off hotel is a place that I would stay in an instant. Just opened in Bethlehem, it overlooks the barrier separating Palestinian Territories from Israel. It’s a hotel that some people think has the worst view in the world. I’ve said it in many of my posts, but street art is one of […]
