Happy 2012 everyone! December was a good month for me and the blog – it’s always a nice feeling looking back at what you’ve achieved for the year and giving yourself a big pat on the back. Thankfully I had some free time over the Christmas break to catch up on things I’d been putting […]

Photo of The Week – The Washington Monument Mounted Police
January 13, 2012 by 3 Comments
I’m not entirely sure they exist only to protect the Washington Monument, but I imagined these Police did so at the time anyway – it seemed like a cool and heroic thing to be doing for a job, after all. There was something about their blue uniform against the white stone and green grass that […]

Photo Of The Week – Liberty Of London
January 6, 2012 by 4 Comments
Nothing says ‘Christmas Break’ more than wandering around an empty city fairly aimlessly, taking photos of things that catch your eye on the way. That’s exactly what I did last week when I found myself in Liberty’s, London’s oldest and most luxurious department store – I definitely wasn’t up for buying any of their ridiculously […]

Photo Of The Week – Helsingborg Square
December 30, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I love Sweden, especially getting off the well-trodden tourist trail of Stockholm and getting out to see some of the lesser known cities – like Helsingborg. Located in the south of the country, and only a short train ride from Copenhagen, this seaside city is small, quaint and makes you feel like you’ve walked straight […]

December 28, 2011 by 7 Comments
Seriously, I know we say it every year, but where the hell did the last year go? I remember new years day and a whole lot of stuff in between then and now, but it honestly feels like it could have been only a couple of months ago. I really wanted this year to be […]
Photo Of The Week – Kennington Tube Station
December 23, 2011 by 8 Comments
I recently watched a documentary about ghost sightings on the London Underground and found it absolutely fascinating – I’ve never been one to believe in the supernatural, but the many tube workers speaking of their experiences over the last 100 years certainly got me thinking. There is apparently a man who walks the tunnels of […]

December 20, 2011 by 6 Comments
It’s almost that time of year again when you thank Santa for another pair of novelty socks and take some time to reflect on the year that was and wonder what the next one will bring. You’ll probably also revisit some of your goals for 2011 and hopefully give yourself a firm pat on the […]
