On Saturday morning I headed to Yorkshire with Annie for an off-grid blogger weekend at Swinton Bivouac. Joining us were some of the Folklings gang and although I read their blogs I'd never met any of them in person before. In Yorkshire the wind was howling and the

One of the best parts of our recent holiday to Sweden was visiting Djurgården, an island in the city centre with forest and parkland. Both of us were really hoping it would snow on our trip so when we opened our curtains to find it had (cue lots of bouncing
