I had never flown with Monarch until this year, this very flight in fact. I’m not sure why or how that has happened as I feel like I’m forever on planes this year! They offer flights from five major airports across the UK including Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, London Luton, London Gatwick and Manchester to over 40 destinations and our route was Gatwick to Barcelona.  Early…

I love books, I always have and I’m sure it’s something I will continue to love. And when I say books, I mean the real things; not a kindle, not an audio book (although I am warming to these a little), a real book made from paper that smells so good when you first flip through the crisp, new pages. I read a variety of…

On our way back from Benicassim music festival we had around 8 hours to spend in Barcelona before our flight. We thought we’d utilise the time we had rather than waiting around at the festival campsite. We left the campsite just after 6.15am meaning we arrived at Barcelona airport a little after 9am.

We flew in and out of Spain via Barcelona with Monarch, but there’s a…

 At the start of the year, I had no plans to go to any festivals as we didn’t manage to get Glastonbury tickets so I sulked a little and then realised I did have a few other holidays to look forward to such as Malta and our Trek America! But then a mini miracle occurred and I’ve ended up going to two festivals abroad instead…

As I’m not as much as an avid gamer as I would like to think I am, I roped in a buddy of mine to help review the Seagate 2TB Hard Drive for Xbox from Maplin. I have been looking at getting external storage for my Xbox One for some time now as I want to be able to easily transport my games when I…

The summer holidays are upon us, so why not enjoy the time off by going on a family day out with your children, or taking some time out with friends and take in the best that Britain has to offer by bus? One area that is particularly picturesque across the British Isles is the Lake District, with the Stagecoach 2017 Summer Lakes Connection Guide meaning…
