As much as I would have loved to spend more time in Austin, we had places to go and people to see, so we checked out of the glorious Archer hotel, jumped into our rental car and found our way to the interstate. We were headed north to a little town just outside of Fort … More Magnolia Market at the Silos, Waco, TX
Edinburgh is one of my favourite cities, and it’s even more special when it’s covered in Christmas lights. I had daydreamed about visiting this year with Husband but ran out of time before Christmas. And then out of nowhere, I was called to the Scottish capital for a work event which would require an overnight … More Edinburgh at Christmas
After spending our first day exploring downtown Austin, we drove south of the river and parked up at Zilker Park, very close to Barton Springs Pool. There was zero chance of relaxing by the pool today as the temperature had dropped further, but there were some brave souls taking a dip in the natural spring … More Austin Day Two

And then I bought number two and three. Covered off four, five, and six on one busy day last year. Quickly followed … More Mr Jones Watches – Vertigo
We had two days in Austin on our Texas mini-break and knowing we were going to hire a car gave us a bit more freedom than we normally do when picking a hotel – we didn’t have to rely on finding something super central. I am so pleased that we had this option as we … More Archer Hotel and The Domain, Austin
A few months ago, one of the many travel blogs I follow alerted their readers to a sale on some unusual routes for Virgin/Delta codeshare flights. One of the destinations was Austin, Texas – a city Husband has visited many times for work but never as a tourist – so I spent the evening playing … More Delta One Business Class – A330
Okay, okay – I know it’s the 15th November and I still haven’t posted my favourites from last month. I’ve had a busy few weeks so have got myself a little behind on posts, but it would bother me if skipped October, so let’s get going. Celtic Manor I have almost certainly included the Celtic … More October 2018 Things
London has a lot of excellent exhibitions going on in various museums at the moment. I’ve recently had two trips in to the city, and saw a couple of very different shows, enjoyable for very different reasons. A couple of weekends ago, I met up with a friend to go to the Museum of London. … More Museums and Cakes
