Seville is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. Lying in the heart of Andalucia, it makes for a perfect long weekend break with its heady mix of world-class architecture, artistic treasures, flamenco and great food. It’s an easy getaway from the UK with flights taking under three hours which means that […]
Money makes the world go round, and if you visit Ruthwell, a small village in Scotland, you’ll find out why. This sleepy village seems an unlikely place for a major revolution in banking, but that is its claim to fame. Blink and you’d miss a white cottage on the high street, […]
Looking to travel somewhere bursting with awesome art? My advice is you can’t go wrong with a holiday or short break in Denmark. Not only is Denmark just a short hop from the UK, it’s an art lover’s paradise with a ‘gluttony’ of galleries, museums and attractions. Copenhagen isn’t the only cultural […]
Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge is a house I keep on going back to. It boasts a beautiful interior, crammed with stunning art works collected by its original owner, Jim Ede. If I had to list my top 10 dream homes, this would be one of them. It isn’t grandiose but there’s something […]

For art lovers, an Art Nouveau tour of Brussels is a fabulous experience with hundreds of impressive buildings to discover. The city […]
Amsterdam is one of the world’s great cities so if you’ve visited before, it’s definitely worth going back for more. It’s a city which is constantly reinventing itself. There’s always something new and different to see, as I discovered on my trip this month. With several new tourist attractions and makeovers […]
The Vikings are coming! Watch out for longships, horny warriors and armies of Danish invaders at the British Museum in London. The story of the Vikings has intrigued us for centuries. It’s a tale of plunder and pillage. The Vikings are synonymous with men wearing horned helmets and wielding […]
Imagine wandering into a deserted house and exploring its rooms and corridors, perhaps even sitting down to read a few books off the shelves and playing the piano. As you stroll into the hall you notice a very strange picture on the wall with large writing that reads […]
As Remembrance Day approaches, it’s a good time to take to learn more about the nature and impact of wars with a trip to the Imperial War Museum. War stories have always been handed down from generation to generation but sadly we never seem to learn the lessons of conflict. […]
