Playing Tourist in London

Posted on August 29, 2019January 3, 2020by Emma

I’m 25! And that means if I want to pretend to be a tourist in my hometown, I will! Okay so credit where it’s due: I first spied this route on Secret London. I had it filed away for a not-so-rainy day and my birthday being at the end of August seemed like the perfect […]

Fresh off the plane from Canada, I had but a few days to recover after Christmas before I was squashed into a car and driven to the north. Not quite as far as Stirling (though I’d be making that trip just the following week!). We were off for a festive visit to my grandparents in […]

Ólafur Arnalds at Leicester Cathedral

Posted on June 6, 2013November 25, 2018by Emma

It’s rare to discover music that perfectly expresses emotion but I found it yesterday seeing my favourite Icelandic composer, Ólafur Arnalds, perform in Leicester Cathedral. Initially I was after tickets in London as I knew I’d be back down south for when Ólafur was on tour but there weren’t any concerts listed. Leicester was the […]
