Bath Abbey has had its fair share of facelifts, withstanding two World Wars, the city’s fluctuating wealth and even religious reform to remain a centre for Christian worship for no less than a thousand years.

Mum’s visited me in London quite a few times and we’ve always stuck pretty rigidly to exploring the capital.  This time, for a wee change, we decided to hit the road to see what Bath had to offer.  (Be sure to check back later in the week to find out how we made the most of our flying visit.)

How do you say Gender Equality in Faroese?  I came across the question quite by accident when I was searching for information on the Southbank Centre’s annual Women of the World Festival, which, for those who may be interested, will take place between 7th and 12th March.

As a New Year dawns – (and I’ll bet I’m not the only one to be glad to see the back of 2016) – I’ve decided to take a look back at some of my most memorable adventures of the past 12 months. Let’s start with my most recent one – a solo trip to Bremen.  One place really stood out from the rest, making my trip all the more memorable and so I felt it earned a blog post all of its own.
