Wind it Up

Wind it Up

Thursday was another day to work and stay on top of things. It was also a good day for me to cook a curry for dinner. This is a standard of my normal working day routine at home. I work and cook during the day so it's good to go when everyone is ready. Also just nice...

Amsterdam, Zaandam, Oh My

Amsterdam, Zaandam, Oh My

I spent more time riding the bus from Milton Keynes to the airport and waiting at the airport than I did in the air to get to Amsterdam. If I did the trip again, either way I think I would try to train that I found out about. In my head I went, there is lots of water...

Final UK Weekend

Final UK Weekend

On Saturday I packed my things and got ready to spend my final days in the UK back visiting Damo (and the dogs). I'm starting to feel like a pro getting myself around London with the trains and all that. It's still Google Maps who is the star of the show, or actually...

London Days

London Days

The bus to London from Leeds was about another 5 hour ride. The coaches really are quite an easy and pleasant way to go. I booked all my bus trips through TodayTix and it turned out that she had never seen Wicked and wanted to. Currently in the cast as Elphaba was a...

Short & Sweet

The trip from Glasgow to London was about a 10 hourish bus ride. However I broke my trip up with a short and sweet visit back through Leeds/New Pudsley and stopped in at Callum's one more time. It was so nice to get to see them all again so soon after saying goodbye...

Manchester to Leeds

Strawberry Fields Forever

Strawberry Fields Forever

On Tuesday morning Kirsty and I took Ruby, Jess, and Callie out for a walk before I had to get to the bus station to head to Liverpool. Kirsty was kind enough to drive me there and sit and wait for the bus with me. It was really nice to meet and get to connect with...

BIRMINGHAM TO BACKPACKER

BIRMINGHAM TO BACKPACKER

From Swansea I boarded a bus bound for Birmingham. The longer bus rides for some of these legs is cheaper than the trains and I pay the extra to make sure I get a window seat so that I can catch the views. With less than 24 hours in Birmingham I checked into my hotel...

VEGAN EATS: UK EDITION PART ONE

Let's kick the UK edition of Vegan Eats off with my first two weeks of meals. Well eating out meals. I have actually had more to eat than what I post about. I've been pretty impressed with the vegan options in supermarkets and such here in the UK. Labelling here is...

A Wales of a Time

A Wales of a Time

It's funny that a lot of people have asked me 'Why Swansea', especially people from here. For those of you asking the same thing, 1. I wanted to visit Wales and 2. A week's accomodation is cheaper here than in Cardiff. (Rightly so, is the local response to that...
