Following our trip to the Big Buddha, and our little Elephant Trekking experience, our taxi driver suggested that I might like to take my daughter to visit the Monkey school. Since we had almost been attacked by wild monkeys at the Big Buddha who were trying to steal our food, I decided that it might […]

Thailand (Part 3) Riding an Elephant
On our way upto the Big Buddha, Phuket we passed 2 elephant trekking sites, and I pointed out the elephants to my daughter. We were both excited to see these amazing animals there by the side of the road! I had asked the taxi driver at the first ones we saw if you could travel […]
10 Reasons why Latitude Festival is Top of My Festival Bucket List for 2012
I am writing this post to convince my friend Leila that she needs to come and do this with me… She’s already pretty sold on the idea if truth be told, but at £175 per ticket (and being a festival virgin) she still needs to really justify the expenditure in what isn’t currently the easiest […]
Thailand (Part 2) The Big Buddha, Phuket
In my last post, I wrote about a review of South tip of Phuket including The Evason & Bon Island Hotel and The Green Man in Ruwai. If you are staying in the southern coastal areas of Phuket, like Ruwai, Chalong, Kata or Karon, you will not be able to miss The Big Buddha, even […]
Thailand (part 1)… Evason & Bon Island, Ruwai and the South tip of Phuket
Back in September we realised that my partner would almost certainly be away working for Christmas with the way his leave and rostering system works, so he decided to bid for a trip that we might both like to go on, rather than lose any sleep over it (it’s the airline industry-so it goes with […]
And Now for Something that will NEVER make it onto my Bucket List… A Champagne Bath!
I had to post this… I like a lovely self-indulgent bubble bath as much as the next person, but a hotel in Knightsbridge (same area of London as Harrods for those not in the know) The Cadogan Hotel has launched a Champagne bath menu, offering a Dom Pérignon 2002 bath for £25,000! Other more measly […]
WIN a luxury holiday to the Maldives!
Okay people… I was in two minds about sharing this with you, as I have been entering the competition daily in an attempt to win this fab looking holiday for myself, and didn’t want any unwelcome competition, but I figure the chances have to be better than the lottery, and maybe by sharing the dream, […]
Floating Weightlessly in an Isolation Tank
This has always always been on my wish list ever since I watched an episode of Absolutely Fabulous called ‘ISO Tank‘ where Edina has the crazy dream about adopting Rumanian orphan babies whilst she was in a floatation tank (also known as Isolation tanks or Sensory Deprivation tanks)… I have no idea why the this […]
New Year… Mindful New Beginning
I have recently got back from a trip to Thailand (which I have yet to finish posting about-as I managed to tick off several of my bucket list items including Riding an Elephant, visiting the Big Buddha in Phuket and seeing my Uncle’s Tudor English Country Pub for the first time). However, I wanted to […]
Bungee Ball Slingshot Ride in Paris
Whilst we’re still on the ‘BUNGEE’ Theme after my last post about my Bungee Jump and Harnessed Catapult Bungee, I thought I would share a nostalgic post about a bucket list item that I ticked off back in 2004 when I had first started dating my partner and before we had our daughter together. He […]
3 – 2 – 1 – BUNGEEEEEEE!
Some of you might have noticed that bungee jumping wasn’t actually on my original bucket list, but on a recent trip to Phuket in Thailand (more post on this to follow shortly) I happened to see the words “Jungle Bungy Jump” written on a tourist map in the Kathu area. I felt a sudden, massive […]
Emma Learns Aerobatic Flying in a Stunt Plane
This one has featured very high on my bucket list for most of the time that I have been with my partner (coming up for 8 years). I always thought it looked cool watching people fly in stunt planes, but somehow, before I was in a relationship with a pilot; I perceived it to le […]
Emma Learns to Fly a Helicopter!
Some years ago, we bought one of my Dads a helicopter flying lesson for his 60th birthday gift. He had a PPL for a fixed wing plane, and had always wanted to try it. He enjoyed it a great deal, though admitted afterwards that he preferred flying fixed wing to rotor. At the time, I’m […]
Zorbing at Devil’s Dyke, near Brighton
Zorbing… It’s a great word isn’t it? It certainly captured my imagination when I first heard of it about 3 or 4 years ago. A friend of mine had booked for her husband to do it, and I had also seen it on a number of experience sites. It just looked like so much fun! […]
Travel Bucket List: New York! New York!
This is a catch up post (we visited New York 3 years ago, in the Spring) I have always wanted to go to New York, let’s face it who hasn’t? I think though, that at the time when I first met my partner, most women my age were massive fans of Sex and the City, […]
