2015: Year in Review

Another year, been and gone. While I know that New Year is just another day in the grand scheme of things, and nothing will change overnight, I do think the end of the year is a good time to take stock of what's been happening, and think about…

2015: Best Of

As another year draws to a close, we all start taking stock of what's happened over the last year. I will be writing my Year in Review post shortly, but first I thought we'd do a Best Of, taking a look at my favourite things to come out…

Merry Christmas

Yes I know I wrote a post with the same title last year, but Christmas is a pretty important occasion each year in my house! Especially so this year since I returned from Hong Kong to celebrate back home with my family. It's a little bit sad though…

Stanley, Hong Kong

Stanley feels like a proper seaside place, with the waterfront and the market stalls. The town lies on the southern peninsula of Hong Kong island, and does take a while to reach - approx. 40 minutes on the number 6, 6A, 6X, 66, or 260 bus from Central,…

Outfit – Fly Away

Ok, this isn't quite a cape, and it certainly doesn't have the power to make me fly, but you see the vibe I'm feeling, right? I bought this cardigan recently, as my other black one was getting a bit tatty for work, and I've been obsessed with it…

Cute Kindergarten Stories, Vol. 2

A couple of months ago I wrote this post about some of the adorable and funny things my students get up to - for those who don't know, I teach English to the nursery class of 2 year olds in a kindergarten. Of course, seeing around 50 of…

Travel Inspiration – Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico

So if you've been around on this blog at all this year, you'll likely remember that I went travelling through Central America for a month back in June - if this is news to you, I suggest you start here. Anyway, it was the most amazing trip ever,…
