Brighton
On 10th September 2017 by HelenThis weekend I took a spontaneous road trip down to Brighton. Originally I was meant to be going to London, but train fares cost the earth here in the U.K. and London is never a cheap day out, so randomly I decided to take a trip to the English seaside and go to Brighton. I’ve
A Brief Guide To Queenstown
On 8th July 2017 by HelenPeople told me I’d like New Zealand but having always been obsessed with Australia I knew this place had to be pretty special to beat it. Well I’m here to tell you I’m in love with this beautiful country, it’s people, culture and really just everything about it. Two places on this trip particularly caught
The North of The North
On 8th June 2017 by HelenI’m here in New Zealand and I have to say this country is pretty impressive. I started my trip in Auckland which seems a beautiful city though I only spent a few hours there before crashing out in my hostel room due to my 6 hour flight landing at 6:30am and not being able to
Swan Valley
On 27th May 2017 by HelenI felt this place really deserved its own blog post separate to my Perth post which will be up soon. Swan Valley is absolutely beautiful. It’s like Australia, France and Italy collided and have made the most picturesque area full of vineyards and good food. We honestly had the most jam packed day ever and
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. Clearly I am destined to have mainly grey skyed pictures on my blog for day trips (refer to National Park post) although today
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.
Leaving Coogee!
On 17th January 2017 by HelenOh my gosh I can’t believe the time has come already to leave Coogee and move back to the city. I have hand-on-heart loved every single second of living here. The house I was in and my room may not be beautiful but I have lived with the best people a girl could ask for
