Trier, the place I didnt know I needed to see.

Theres a golden hour in autumn in Europe. The sun hits everything around you and for a brief few moments your day lights up in gold. Everything shimmers and your shit mood melts away.  I don’t like much of Germany. I sound awful saying it. But Germans are intense. Maybe I’ll like it more if […]

I got lost in Germany…repeatedly

So I drew the lucky straw to attend Prowein this year. (HUGE wine-trade show in Düsseldorf, Germany held March of every year) WHOOOHOOOOOO another stamp in my passport and a tick on my map.   Look at my travel map here. Sadly the show fell exactly over Oscar’s 30th Birthday and I had to leave […]

The average traveller

You will find many glorious travel blogs and sites of the most beautiful resorts around the globe. You can find lists of what to pack in matching luggage. Gosh, the world is full of travel bloggers who take amazing photos that leave you wanting to up and leave your day job and travel the world. I am not that travel blogger. I live to travel and discover new places. Sometimes that includes places right down the road. Sometimes it involves a long haul flight or two. I am average. I travel on an average budget, I travel with average luggage and gadgets but I tell extraordinary stories.

  • I baked a malva. And roasted a lamb. And make a million sauces. After 30 years of trying, I can honestly say I hate baking. I get bored of reading a recipe half way through. Then I end up doing what I want. It’s still edible but I’m sure It’d be better had I followed instructions. If you bake and actually read the recipe you are magic.
  • A week ago I added my much awaited protea to my arm. I’ve wanted it for ages but finding 3 hours to spare to get more ink seemed to fall on the back burner. I don’t mind being asked about my tattoos. I know many others hate it. But I like mine where I can see it. I wanted a protea for a few reasons. (Go look up about how they got their name, it’s cool as shit) but I mostly got it because they are hard to kill. You can burn them to the ground, they will grow and bloom again when they are ready. You can cut them off and keep them without water for FAR longer than any other flower. They are beautiful and prickly. They survive the coldest winters after we put them through the ringer in summer. They just live. Original artwork by @electrictildeath at @handstyletattoos
  • When you take your friends go karting it is important to remember NOT to take along an actual race car driver. They WILL make you feel extremely slow. Kartzone at Zwartkop raceway was a ton of fun. Highly recommended.
  • Yesterday I took 6 friends go-karting. It’s was so much fun. I’m as shit a driver in a car as I am in life.
  • Badge heaven. All originals,snapped by @ozforged whose military badge collection lives on.
  • “You have to earn it” said the women in the tattoo shop. I said why can’t they just knock you out and wake you up when it’s done. As she carried on drawing she said it has to be earned. I like earning things.
