Last month I visited Durham for the first time, and let me tell you, I fell in love with the city. I spent two days in Durham and explored the spectacular cathedral city, as well as some of the nearby must-see attractions, like Beamish and Ushaw Historic House and Gardens.

However, Edinburgh welcomed me with impressive quantities of rain even from before arriving, when the pilot had to […]

There’s something truly magical about Christmas in London. The city transforms into a sea of twinkling lights, shop windows turn into miniature winter wonderlands, and every street hums with festive excitement.
