Catch up with my travels (Part 1)…
As you know a week after my last exam I left Leicester for a few weeks of travelling and sunshine! We flew out to Bangkok for the start of a couple of weeks exploring Thailand! The first night we stayed in Bangkok in an amazing hotel which was very snazzy as a celebration of me […]

A trip to London – Museums and Art Galleries
Last weekend I had a wonderful weekend away from the stress of third year in London! The trip was a birthday present from my boyfriend and as it was far more interesting to write about than my never ending days in the library I’m going to do a two part blog post about what we […]
