Think of Scotland and immediately the images of high snowy topped mountains, rough heather topped terrain and large ancient castles spring to mind. A unique place, with a wealth of history that draws in holiday makers, scientists and even the Hollywood filmmakers and icons.
With the cold, wintry days looking like they are finally behind us, we’re now starting to really look forward to our Summer holidays as they suddenly don’t seem that far away. Panic stations set in however, as we realise that we haven’t revealed our bodies for six months, and now they are pasty white and are carrying the extra few pounds that all that hearty, winter food brought us. It served its purpose and kept us warm during the winter, but we have no desire to retain that weight during the hot summer, particularly when we are strolling across white, …
York is one of Britain’s most beautiful and historic cities and is visited by thousands of tourists each year. They are drawn to York by the 12th century Minster, the roman walls that surround the city, the beautiful cobbled streets that are recreated in all their former Victorian glory in the famous Castle Museum, the snickleways and the Jorvik Viking Centre, which takes visitors on a journey back to Viking times so accurately reconstructed that even the smell of human waste has been added. In addition, the many bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and frequent markets are an instant hit with …

We were luck enough to be given a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 to test and review last week and after numerous days playing around with it, I have to say that I am fairly impressed. Having long been an avid user of the iPad, I am fairly faithful to the Apple brand, but I was surprised how easy the Samsung alternative was to become acquainted with. The tablet has a very slim design, which depending on which way you look at it could be a good or a bad thing, but I prefer to travel light so I definitely see this …
Everyone is shopping online these days as that is where the biggest bargains to be had are. Well I would say that, wouldn’t I? I work for a deal website!
I was so excited to read about the collaboration between Liberty art prints and Clarks. I am a huge fan of art nouveau.

The Easter holidays are upon us. After just managing to shed the extra weight we put on at Christmas, we are now given free reign to eat as much chocolate as we like and put it all back on again. Still, nothing makes a woman happier than chocolate (apart from maybe some gorgeous new shoes, or a new dress, or a romantic meal, or cocktails in a trendy bar – well OK, we’re easy to please).
