I had been on such a roll of making playlists before the new year and unlike most resolutions, it fell by the wayside. However with ample opportunity to listen to music now that we are all indoors, I have compiled a perfect weekend, spring vibe to accompany some creativity. It's perfect if you need want [...]

Playlist #8: Golden Slumbers

This one is named after the beautiful Golden Slumbers by Elbow. It poetically encompasses what the compilation says: a sparkling time thats somehow sleepy. These are the beginning of December, rolling in to Christmas tunes. They're often inspired by a British advert for John Lewis but others have just a hint of the Christmas vibe. [...]

Playlist #5: Back to Blighty

Playlist #3: Rainy Sundays

My childhood memories of winter Sundays in the UK go along the lines of a huge Sunday roast, some sort of pottering usually with the formula 1 blasting out somewhere and as the night closed in rapidly quickly, my dad tapping around in his slippers with a classic dad CD playing. Today I had a [...]

Wishing we were absailing into this view not another month of lockdown. One day at a time, be kind to yourselves and stay strong 💪 We’re looking forward to sharing some of the things we’ve been up to in the last few weeks whilst we’ve been super busy getting out and about. Here’s to the next month ☕️ 🍷 🏠 🏔 🍁 🍂 🌲
As the autumn closes in keeping up the active adventures outdoors isn’t always the easiest... so we pulled together all the ideas that keep a smile on our face (like this one here) as the weather gets colder and the nights get longer! Link in bio 🍂🍁☁️

Dreaming about the mountains 🏔
A few weeks ago we did our first multi day hike, completing half of the renowned Tour du Mont Blanc. The views were stunning, the air fresh and the food well deserved! Check out our latest post (link in bio) where we’ve shared our route, refuges, directions and crucially, how light we both managed to pack.
