Spending a weekend in Nottingham with my pals was an absolute treat all round. I'm ashamed to say that I can count on one hand the total number of times I've travelled further North than Cambridge. Two weeks in the Lake District for a show I was performing in, a weekend in Derby aged 11,… Continue reading A Weekend in Nottingham (Coach Trip Edition)
There are so many things to do in Lefkada, particularly if you like exploring the outdoors. This off-the-beaten-path Greek island is magical.

I'm a bit late to the party here, given that we're almost one month into the new year, but at this particular moment in time I appear to be stuck in a hotel in Hamburg with not a whole lot to do. So what better way to fill the time than a casual reflection on… Continue reading A Rather Late Round-Up of 2017

Knowing that we wanted to reach… Continue reading Las Vegas to Tucson
After staying for three days at The Excalibur- which FYI is a gigantic and fantastically tacky castle-themed hotel and casino at one end of the South Las Vegas Boulevard- our plan was to venture in the vague direction of the Grand Canyon. We would continue from there, moving onwards across America in a joyous semi-pioneering… Continue reading Getting Stuck in Vegas (or, Adventures at the Tod Motor Motel)
