Friday Fun: The anonymous letter box
While I was in Falmouth I found a letterbox in a pub/bookshop called Beerwolf Books (yes, a pub and bookshop in one, how awesome!) This is what it says on top: "Dear Anonymous Reader, I would like to invite you to release any emotions you've bottled up. This is an opportunity
Review: Aspects Holiday Cottages in Cornwall
Sea-Escape Fountain Court, Falmouth We arrived in Falmouth in Cornwall just before midnight on a Friday. It had been a five-hour drive from London which included a frustrating crawl along the M25, stale sandwiches and lukewarm coffee bought at an overpriced garage and a radio that wouldn’t tune in so
A relaxing weekend in Falmouth, Cornwall

A Gambian Cooking Class with Ida
One of the best things about travelling to a new country has to be trying new food and Gambian cuisine didn’t disappoint. Full of spicy flavor, the tasty rice based dishes are usually fish based with plenty of vegetables. Ida Njai is somewhat of a superstar in
Community Projects in The Gambia
Say ‘community project’ or ‘charity project’ to anyone in the Western world and they’re instantly weary. It’s sad but true that Charity projects are viewed with suspicion and everyone has begun to question how much good they’re really doing. I visited a project in India that was
