Is Travelling Easy??
On 22nd April 2017 by HelenThis is a post I’ve been thinking about writing for ages and after talking to many different people I’ve decided to write it. We all come travelling for different reasons…to see the world, to gain confidence, to ‘find ourselves’. I think it’s very easy to leave you’re home and think you’re about to have an
Easter Sunday Walk
On 16th April 2017 by HelenToday I went with Lucy on the Spit to Manly walk. The weather was perfect for a good 10k hike. We got the bus to Spit and then followed the path which is well sign posted to Manly. I had absolutely no expectations of this walk, I didn’t know what to expect and I was
Bill’s for Breakfast
On 7th April 2017 by HelenOn Thursday I went for breakfast at one of my favourite places, Bills. Back in the UK Bills is a chain of restaurants but over in Australia Bills is owned by Bill Grainger – celebrity chef (in London his restaurant is Grainger & Co, which is also amazing). He has a few restaurants in the
The Grounds of Alexandria
On 17th March 2017 by HelenToday I went to The Grounds Of Alexandria with my friend Jo. We decided as we both had the day off to go for brunch and have a good catch up and chat. After an interesting bus journey which consisted of the bus driver not really knowing where he was going we managed to find
Palm Beach Trip
On 5th March 2017 by Helen‘You know we belong together…’ Have I planted the tune in your head?! Today I went to Palm Beach, a stunning place and the location of the Aussie soap Home and Away.

On 20th February 2017 by HelenYesterday I decided to go to climb the Pylon at the side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Birthday Celebrations
On 10th February 2017 by HelenYesterday was Lucy’s birthday and we had the nicest and quite possibly the hottest day ever. It was meant to be the hottest day Sydney has seen in years reaching max 46 degrees C. Our day started around 10:30am where myself and friend Charlie met at central station to get the train to Milson Point.
Visiting The Royal National Park
On 4th February 2017 by HelenYesterday I went to the Royal National Park and managed a 10k hike. It was absolutely stunning scenery and it was so nice to get out of the city for the day, even though my legs are killing me this morning. We started with the intention of visiting the figure 8 pools however the tide
Chinese New Year
On 29th January 2017 by HelenThis week marks Chinese New Year and once again Sydney did not disappoint with its celebrations. Any excuse for a party right?! The main attractions have been at Martin Place and Circular Quay. Martin Place has a bar set up which spans half the distance of the street whilst Circular Quay has light up statues
Australia Day!
On 26th January 2017 by HelenTo be honest with you I have struggled to write this post, mainly because I wasn’t really sure what to make of Australia Day if I’m honest. It’s a day to mark/celebrate (I use that term lightly) when the first 11 ships with English convicts landed in Australia and the Union Jack was flown. It’s
