The One With The Ripped Shorts.

The One With The Ripped Shorts.

So after the first day in Barcelona and the showers it brung, we woke up to glistening rays of warmth – woohoo! Park Guell was on the cards as our host friends told us about the amazing views you can get up around that area. We took the Metro to Vallcarca where we were greeted with steep roads to walk up that even Wolf from Gladiator would struggle with. Copious amounts of steps acquatined these…

At the Mercadillo de los Jueves flea market today. A place where you are propelled into an oblivion of repetitive tat. A place, if you ever need that is, to find Fifa 2002 on the PlayStation 1, endless amounts of used fridge magnets, porcelain Jesus heads or porn. #ReligiousParaphernalia #FleaMarket #OldJunk #Tat #SecondHand #NotImpressed #Seville (at calle feria Sevilla)

They even hung there old pictures along the street. #Paintings #Old #FleaMarket #SecondHand #Seville (at calle feria Sevilla)

The One With The Wanderlust

The One With The Wanderlust

This was our guest post for the wonderful Valerie over at Valisemag which you can see our post and her great blog here. Go somewhere memorable for Charlotte’s 21st birthday… where else than the glorious city of Rome?! First and foremost for everyone is to go inside the colossal Colosseum. The history and vastness of this amphitheater really does take your breath away. Following on with the…

The One With The Rain In Spain

The One With The Rain In Spain

So Charlotte and I left the UK to embark on our open ended month long venture to the glorious sunny Spain. Excitement, nerves, anticipation and sadness all crept in whilst we were on the train up to Gatwick… with Charlotte balling her eyes out like she was a spoilt child not getting a bag of sweets from Tesco… but don’t tell her that I thought she looked like a panda, due to her smudged mascara…

The One With Old 'N' Not So Gold.

The One With Old ‘N’ Not So Gold.

Ok without boring you with my whole working history and how I hated every single job and how I truly believe that I am not fit to work anywhere ever, I will just touch briefly on the golf club and rant massively about Old ‘N’ Gold. I worked as a waitress at a golf club for a couple of years, it was full of posh totties and snobs, great, but what annoyed me most was the unreliable hours, one week…

The One With The P45

The One With The P45

After Charlotte and I came back from Rome, there was a sense of discontent… a feeling of wanting to go away again… a need to see more of the world. It has always been an idealisitc way of living and experiencing life itself, but I’ve either never had the confidence to, nor the belief it could be possible. It was then that it became a concept that both Charlotte and myself wanted to achieve. We…

The One With Love Lane

I’m not normally the romantic type… believe me! One day I just decided to spring a surprise night away in Canterbury for Valentine’s Day, now I either just overcame with love, or just came into a bit of money won on a fruit machine – I’ll let you decide which.

This for me, was a bit of a big deal as I normally just treat my ‘current’ bird at the time, to a card and a bar of Galaxy for…
