James Bond in London | 10 Exciting Experiences You’ll Want to Try

London has always played an important part in the James Bond franchise. Not only is it home of the MI6 Headquarters and 007 himself, but Bond creator Ian Fleming was born there and took a lot of inspiration from the capital for his books.

Since its Global James Bond Day, I wanted … Continue reading James Bond in London | 10 Exciting Experiences You’ll Want to Try

It’s not that I didn’t like the movies, I thought the second film, with Thandie Newton and Dougary Scott was particularly good, even though it’s highly regarded as the worst in the franchise.

Furniture Painting with the Mercantile Adventurers

Finding my inner Picasso I don’t get to see my mum very often these days – it’s almost impossible to find a time when we’re both free, and she hates it.
