Eco-friendly trip to Canterbury with National Express

National Express is one of the most sustainable coach companies in the UK, and it was exciting to collaborate with them at the weekend, on an eco-friendly trip to Canterbury, the historic gem of Kent. In this blog post, I outline why I really enjoyed travelling with National Express from an environmental perspective, followed by my favourite sights in Canterbury. If you are interested in learning more about the benefits of travelling with National Express, you can read my earlier blog post about my first adventure with them here.

A weekend in Brighton – the ultimate staycation

A weekend in Brighton – the ultimate staycation

After over a year of lockdowns, I have been craving a holiday for a very long time. Despite the fact that restrictions are starting to ease, the UK’s travel traffic light system realistically means that a holiday abroad still feels quite far from reach. With that in mind, I am planning to go on a few UK staycations, which I hope inspire you to explore your home country too! I went to Brighton, in East Sussex, during the end of May bank holiday weekend and with great company, sizzling sunshine and blue seas, definitely had the best time! Here are the top things to do whilst on a staycation in this vibrant city by the sea.

There’s no denying that 2020 has been a difficult year for us all, but thankfully the sparkly Christmas light displays have gone up around the capital, to bring some much needed joy into our lives!

Here are the displays that I love the most from this year’s collection in London’s West End. If you are not able to go and see them in person this year due to the COVID-19 restrictions in place, I hope you can enjoy them from my photos 🙂

St. Pancras International never fails to impress with it’s annual Christmas tree. This year’s display has been unveiled as the 34ft high ‘Tree of Hope’, in partnership with EL&N London (formerly known as Élan Café).

How COVID-19 has changed the urban landscape

How COVID-19 has changed the urban landscape

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone and everything, including quickly changing the way cities now look and operate.

In London, as in many cities around the world, health protection has been built into the urban landscape, in order for day-to-day activities to resume safely. Whilst tourist numbers are down in London, those who do come can be reassured by the safety measures in place.

This photo blog portrays some of the initiatives that have been adopted in the capital, including widened pavements to enable social distancing, hand sanitisers in key locations such as Piccadilly Circus, and clear signs and road markings to remind people on how to prevent the virus from spreading.

January saw the return of the award-winning displays for the sixth year. This year was the busiest it’s ever been, with thousands of people going to see the 25 dazzling installations.
