For at least the next year we’re in the UK, we’re hoping to have a long weekend away every month. In September we were setting up our new house and…

We’ve mentioned before that Rob has a 45 minute commute to work (1.5hrs return) every day of the week. Previously, he had been paying petrol money to a coworker, but…

Rob and I really really enjoyed the All Black tour to Europe. While we didn’t go to see any of the games, we watched every single one on TV. It…

We’ve been visiting some more pubs around Cambridge, and indeed we forgot to post one of our summer ones! Still, this post has 5 great pubs we’ve visited in Cambridge,…
