Today is the day I collect Betty Bus! Well take 2 of collecting Betty. I made my final payment and officially took possession of her on August 9th, but knew she needed to go straight to a garage for a service, a fresh MOT and some repairs. Due to the parts she needed taking longerContinue reading “Collecting Betty Bus”

About 3 years ago I took an epic solo road trip from London all the way to, and around, Italy. I went for 3 weeks, spending the first 5 days driving down through France and the west coast of Italy until I reached Reggio Calabria. I spent just over a week there before making theContinue reading “New Project Alert!! This Is Not a Drill!”

As some of you may know, over the last couple of years I’ve been dealing with some breathing problems that developed unexpectedly and for which doctors don’t have any concrete answers for. The current thinking is that they may be post Covid complications, although that does seem to be a catch all term these daysContinue reading “Couch to 5K”

I wake up uncharacteristically late this morning. So late in fact, Lucy has to come and check that I am still alive! Clearly the last 5 days of being on holiday have been exhausting! It’s late morning and we decide to head out of the centre of town and over the bridge to the neighbourhoodContinue reading “Seville Day 3”

We are both up pretty early, eager to get out and explore. First we decide to head to a cafe that supposedly does the best churros in Seville. Before we even enter we know we’ve hit the jackpot as the little restaurant is overflowing out the door and there is the hum of a busyContinue reading “Seville Day 2”

It’s a day of mixed emotions as I wake up early and pack my bag to leave Cordoba. I’ve so enjoyed my time here, feeling relaxed and peaceful, taking my days at a slow and leisurely pace. Conversely, the nomad inside me is ready for the next adventure and is looking forward to exploring aContinue reading “Seville Day 1”

In case any one is interested I thought I’d do a little round up on how much it cost me to spend 3 days in Cordoba Day 1 Flight from Stansted to Seville: £75 Bus from Seville Airport to Train Station: 5€ Return Train from Seville to Cordoba: 30€ Taxi from station to hotel: 7€Continue reading “Cordoba Round Up”

I wake up later than usual this morning, potentially due to the fact that I have finally relaxed into my holiday, and have left the rigid schedule of work and home life back in the UK. Or, potentially due to the full day and late night that preceded it. I have decided to visit theContinue reading “Cordoba Day 3”

I’m up early to meet the day, and to my sadness I realise that the sun doesn’t rise until 8am these days. A quick google search tells me that the best place to see the sun rise in Cordoba is at the Roman Bridge, so I head over there and make it with a fewContinue reading “Cordoba Day 2”

I exit the train station and the 35 degree heat takes my breath away. I had been planning on walking from the station to my hotel, but think better of it and jump in a taxi. 10 minutes later I’m dropped off in a quiet, cobblestoned lined road, with whitewashed walls and wooden doors. IContinue reading “Cordoba Day 1”
