Is there a more European way to see a city than on a bicycle? I don’t think so. We cheated a bit and hired electric bikes from our hotel, you still need to peddle but you can turn power on if you need it. We needed it to get up the hill to our hotel on the way home but also to have a little … Continue reading Barcelona – I Want to Ride my Bicycle
Parc Guell is always pretty high on the list of things to do in Barcelona. As a result it’s always packed with tourists and originally wasn’t high on my list of places to see. When I saw some pictures of the Dr Seuss-esque buildings I had to take a wee peek though. After perfectly arranging Sagrada Familia we totally messed up with Parc Guell. Entry … Continue reading Barcelona – Can We Climb This Mountain
When all my friends started posting their videos on Facebook last week I knew for sure I’d be nominated. I was also sure that no one would nominate me while I was in Barcelona, which turned out to be right. I arrived home on Tuesday to two nominations. So here it is with Seb running around in trying to drink all the icy water. I … Continue reading Ice Bucket Challenge
On our first full day the heavens opened, seriously the rain was worse than Glasgow. We ventured down Las Ramblas, with the help of a hotel umbrella, but with the rain bouncing off the ground and it was no day for exploring. We found a cute little restaurant and stuffed out faces with tapas and wine instead. Given the weather it was the perfect day … Continue reading Barcelona – Take Me to the Church
First day and I have an almighty headache. I got little bit excited last night and may have had a few too many vino’s. I’m already in love with Barcelona after a little dinner and drinks just off Las Ramblas last night. My hotel is pretty awesome too, looks like it will be a good holiday. I went with this stripey combo for travelling. It … Continue reading Barcelona
It was maybe hopeful thinking that I was gonna get up early every morning and complete the shred. I ended up doing it most nights when I came home from work. As a result some days I was tried, a few I had headaches and a few more days I was hungover! So I missed 8 days. Doesn’t sound too bad until you work out … Continue reading 30 Day Shred Update
Friday night I was out to explore the Merchant City Festival which is running along side the commonwealth games. I’d opted for jeans and a blazer in expectation of rain, the blazer is linen and my jeans rolled up so perhaps I could foresee the a beautiful summer evening we had. With stalls selling street food and crafts and street stages with DJ’s and bands … Continue reading In the Summer, In the City
Isn’t my fair city doing us all proud this past week. I’ve always been a proud Glaswegian but I’m really impressed by how well the Commonwealth Games are going. The opening ceremony was brilliant, I have heard a lot of people saying they found it cheesy but I loved it. It really got me excited for the rest of the games as you could probably … Continue reading When I Called You Last Night from Glasgow
So I’ve never done one of these so excuse me if in,eave out all the important stuff. I’m a girl who’s daily make up consists of mascara, sometimes not even that, and a beauty regime of washing my face with soap and occasionally applying moisturiser. When the lovely folks at Crabtree and Evelyn offers to send me some goodies I thought it was maybe time … Continue reading A Beauty Review – First Ever
What to do on a sunny bank holiday Monday? Head to the park of course, the gorgeous Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow’s West End. It’s been getting a lot of attention of late, what with the Commonwealth Games lawn bowls being held there and the newly renovated Band Stand being a Festival 2014 venue. It’s also the perfect location for an inner city picnic and dog … Continue reading Hand in Hand through their Parklife
