Top 5 Friday: Airports

August 26, 2011

As I sit in Toronto Pearson International Airport waiting for my flight to Miami, I thought it would be rather fitting to do a top 5 friday post on my favourite airports. So here goes: 1. Vancouver Airport. Comfy chairs. Free wifi. A water feature. Nuff’ said. 2. London Heathrow. In particular Terminal 5. Enough … More Top 5 Friday: Airports

Begbie Tours…1st Stop – Toronto!

August 25, 2011

Following our 12 hour bus journey, we were all pretty shattered, so of course instead of just getting to the hostel and going to bed, we ventured out into the city to find food and drink. After a satisfactory feed though, we crashed into our beds for a good nights sleep, having a lie-in the … More Begbie Tours…1st Stop – Toronto!

Coming To An End…

August 14, 2011

With only 1 week until camp ends and we leave this place we’ve come to call home for the last few months, there’s quite a lot of madness in the air. Everyone is excitable and hyper, but also a little bit sad that it’s all coming to an end. A few people have left already, … More Coming To An End…

Photo Of The Week: The World’s Too Small For Walls

June 26, 2011

Back in 2007, I went on a Uni trip to Berlin. I didn’t really know what to expect and was absolutely blown away by the city. It was honestly one of the best trips of my life – I think we saw and did almost everything there is to see and do. And there really … More Photo Of The Week: The World’s Too Small For Walls

Camp Begins Tomorrow!

June 25, 2011

The kids arrive tomorrow afternoon, and I can’t wait for camp to really begin! This last week I’ve just been settling in and getting to grips with my job (or jobs!)….I’m in the office for part of the day, teaching media (film, photo & radio) 3 hours a day, and spending the rest of my … More Camp Begins Tomorrow!

Getting Into Camp Life

June 19, 2011

I haven’t had access to the internet for a few days, but I’ve been keeping a log of what I’ve been up to, so here goes: Day 2 (in America…Day 1 at Camp) After a night of not great sleep (I don’t know whether this was to do with the heat, the jetlag, or just … More Getting Into Camp Life

Photo Of The Week: Newport Cliff Walk, Rhode Island

June 12, 2011

While in Rhode Island, where I stayed with my aunt, uncle and cousins, we went on a fun day out to Newport, a city about 30 miles south of Providence (where my family live). We walked along the coast for miles and miles, hours and hours, and watched as the waves crash against the rocks, … More Photo Of The Week: Newport Cliff Walk, Rhode Island

Photo Of The Week: Boston

June 5, 2011

On my travels around America, I spent a day wandering around Boston (after getting the train there from Providence, Rhode Island, where I was staying at the time). I followed the Freedom Trail (a red brick or painted line that takes you around the city) and end up in front of this, the Massachusetts State … More Photo Of The Week: Boston
