Surviving Glastonbury (or any other festival)
AKA How I learned to stop worrying and love the long- drops So last week I came back from Glastonbury festival. You don’t need me to tell you that Glastonbury is the greatest place on earth (although it is). For anyone who hasn’t been, it is super hard to explain what is amazing about it. It’s like a city with different districts, the best nightlife and a daytime world that constantly keeps you stimulated. When I went the first time in 2014, even though I enjoyed it, I was pleased to come home, mainly as I relished the opportunity of sleeping in a proper bed. However, this time I actually got hardcore…

Losing a few hours in the Victoria and Albert Museum
If you want to visit somewhere that is a treasure trove of amazing things to see, as well as being free to enter, then the Victoria and Albert Museum in London is ideal. It is the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design, with a permanent collection of over 4.5 million artefacts.

Mini Adventures June and July part 2
Shuttleworth WW1 Airshow I had never been to an airshow before so being invited along to this one on the 5th July was an unexpected treat. I have to admit I came woefully unprepared, however I was impressed by how much there is to see and do there. One of the highlights was the Vulcan bomber making an appearance on its last tour. I did not expect the sheer exhilaration of seeing that kind of aircraft up close. It was fascinating. Katrina over at Mum for Fun has written a guide to airshows for women, that would be worth checking out if you were ever to go to one: http://www.mumforfun.com/duxford-airshow-review/…
