Our British Food Adventure

07.26.2020 by Leah // Leave a Comment

To begin with, British food is not complicated.Β  So drawing up our "foodie list" was the last thing we did when we were planning our UK trip in June last year. It helped too that Netflix was streaming British cooking shows such as "The Big Family Cooking Showdown" and "Million Pound Menu", and watching them gave me a good idea of what to expect in British local food. Truth ... READ MORE

UK Adventure Days 7 to 9: Back in London

06.24.2020 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Hello all! I hope everyone's safe and well in this pandemic time. I finally found the time and motivation to finish my UK travel diary. How time flies so quickly! Just last year we were busy touring London and Scotland, and then 9 months later this beautiful country, along with all others, closed their borders and put all stops at tourism - for people to just stay home ...

My Birthday Week in Japan

02.16.2020 by Leah // Leave a Comment

I'm back, people! Please allow me to do a little detour from my UK travel diary (haven't started with Day 7 yet, but don't worry, matatapos na ang kwento ko dun hehe!) and write about our very recent trip to Japan - where I celebrated my 4_th birthday! That's right. I decided to celebrate my birthday abroad for a change. The idea came about after reading countless ... READ MORE

UK Adventure Day 6: Our FREE Scottish Highlands Hairy Coo Tour

12.30.2019 by Leah // Leave a Comment

The year is about to end and I haven't finished my UK travel journal yet, hehe! So here we go. We are now on Day 6 and it was another outdoor tour for us - this time, to the Scottish Highlands! One of the early bookings I made in preparation for our UK trip (and even before we applied for our visas) was the 1-Day Free Scottish Highlands Hairy Coo Tour. To ... READ MORE

UK Adventure Day 5: Exploring the Magical Edinburgh

11.01.2019 by Leah // Leave a Comment

We only had 2 days to explore Scotland, the northern part of UK, but it was enough to see the best of Edinburgh and part of the Highlands. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, with lots of old towns and villages that retained much of their original character as settlements. It's not hard to fall in love with Edinburgh, and now I understand why some of the travelers I know ... READ MORE

UK Adventure Day 4: Covent Garden + Trip to Edinburgh

08.10.2019 by Leah // Leave a Comment

We were back at exploring London on our 4th day, and we have the whole morning until mid-afternoon for sightseeing before we depart for Edinburgh (pronounced β€œEdin-brah”) in Scotland - by high speed train.      Since the St. George Wharf Pier was just a walking distance from Travelodge Hotel in Vauxhall (our home in the last 4 days), our group took ...

UK Adventure Day 3: Exploring the Traditional Cotswolds Villages and Oxford

07.21.2019 by Leah // Leave a Comment

I have always wanted to explore the English countryside, so when I found this small group tour of Traditional Cotswolds Villages and Oxford from Klook, I immediately booked it. To my surprise, it was the Rabbie's Cotwolds tour that I've been eyeing when we were planning our UK trip. So I was really happy that we will get to experience Rabbie's brand of service. Our ...

UK Adventure Day 2: Exploring Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge + More of London at Night

07.05.2019 by Leah // Leave a Comment

We booked Evan Evan Tours via Klook for our Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge Day Tour. If there's one thing I love about planning for our UK trip, it was the myriad of day tours available from London and at budget-friendly prices. For this tour, we have to be at the meet-up point (Victoria Station) by 7:30 a.m. since the bus leaves at exactly 8:00 a.m. First stop was ... READ MORE

#throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I t #throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I took mommy and daddy to a double date at Rockwell Powerplant. Today is daddy's 11th month in heaven πŸ’œ The coming weeks are sure going be tough for me because the painful memories from last year will start coming back as we approach his 1st death anniversary. I miss our family bonding time whether in Cebu or Makati, at the mall or simply at home. The over-extended quarantine has made it very difficult for us create new memories as a family (outside videocalls, that is). But I know that with God's grace we will overcome. πŸ™
