Edinburgh has been a city on my must-visit ever since coming over to the UK (and possibly before that) and last week I finally got to go, and for a good cause too!
Last month I got a call for work asking if I would like to be a volunteer on a Back Up Course.

British Summer Time Festival
On the 3rd July the British Summer Time Festival kicked of in Hyde Park. The festival goes over 7 days and features a variety of amazing musical talent.
As the Tuesday previous was payday, me and my roommate decided it would be worth it to splash our cash on tickets to the Sunday and relive our childhood with Backstreet Boys and Five!
Richmond Park
On Thursday I caught up with my Australian mate Nathan.
It was a lovely Summer’s day so we decided to check out one of the eight Royal parks that are dotted around London.
Richmond Park is in the South West of London and dates back to the 13th Century! It is the largest of the parks and is also a national nature reserve.
Brighton Up Your Day
On Tuesday, a friend and I headed down to the English coastal town of Brighton.

The seaside resort town became more popular during the 1700s as some bloke decided to push the idea of drinking and bathing in seawater as a general remedy to illness.

The Belfast Black Taxi Tour Experience
I just recently returned from an amazing 6 day holiday to the Emerald Isle.
Myself, and two of my housemates Mel and Tim, decided that we would embark on a P.I.Y (Plan It Yourself). And I must admit, Mel and I planned an awesome adventure!

Relaxing Weekend in Cumbria / Lancaster
Last week I was up in Lancaster for a training course for work, and as I had not yet been away from London I thought I would stay up north for a weekend and see what country life is like 🙂
The Tale of the Infected Finger
2 weeks ago I started noticing my finger swelling up.
I went to the doctor who gave me some antibiotics and said see how it goes.
As you can see, my finger swelled up to about the size of a balloon.
