A Trip to Kew Gardens
Last week on a blustery-but-sunny-nearly-Spring day, we headed to Kew Gardens so I could practise taking some photos on my camera. I absolutely love Kew Gardens – it’s one of my favourite places in London and definitely somewhere that never fails to make me feel happy. For too long I’ve been taking photos on my […]
Travel diaries: Amsterdam
Amsterdam has been on my list to visit for ages, and it feels like everybody I know has been there recently and had lots of recommendations of places to go and, most importantly (always), where to eat. With a close friend currently studying in Rotterdam, there was no better time to reassemble the university friendship […]
Travel Diaries: Canada Roadtrip – Banff
This is the last blog post in my Canadian Roadtrip series, and although it’s been over a month since we returned, I still miss the mountains, and my nostalgia has only been heightened by getting to look through all these beautiful photos all over again. From Jasper we set off along the famous Icefields Parkway […]
The London Diaries: Snapshots II
Introducing my second instalment of ‘Beth takes photos of everything and decides that they must be shared’. London is lovely, but don’t let the photos fool you: it’s not always blue skies and sun. I just happen to only take pictures when it is. I’m still trying to explore different parts of this city, and […]
A Weekend in Bath
At the beginning of December my boyfriend and I escaped London for a much-needed weekend away in the beautiful city of Bath. I had wanted to visit Bath for so long and I was certainly not disappointed in my dreams of Regency glamour and visions of Austen at every corner. The golden stone of the […]
Winter Wanderland
Excuse the terrible titular pun, but I needed to find a way to express my ardour for the weather we’ve been having here in the UK for the last couple of days. Frosty and frozen and foggy and all sorts of delightful light have been taking place, and I’ve been making the most of the […]
The London Diaries: Snapshots
I must take about 5 million crappy photos on my phone a day, and it gives me an infinite amount of pleasure to look back on them as little snapshots of moments and memories. Here are a few during my first couple of months of living in London. Please note the coffee cups and feel […]
Travels 2016: Brisbane & the Gold Coast
Alas, I’m afraid to say that my dreams of learning to surf from a gorgeous Aussie instructor, and then miraculously discovering that I’m some kind of surfing prodigy – something like my namesake Bethany Hamilton – were well and truly foiled in Surfer’s Paradise. And by that I mean that we never got to live […]
Travels 2016: Sydney
How to begin describing our wonderful 5 night stay in Sydney? Well, between the beaches and the bridge climb, the coffee and the cocktails, and then all the amazing people we met and the many, many things we did, I guess you could say that it was, err, OK. And by that I mean truly […]
Travels 2016: Hanoi
It’s funny looking back, because I definitely though that things couldn’t get more chaotic, busy, noisy and overwhelming than Bangkok was when we first began our travels. Oh how wrong I was. Cue Hanoi. If arriving in Bangkok was like a dusty and dry sandstorm, then Hanoi was a full-on monsoon of the senses, a […]
