2020 has been an awful year for travel. If you've read my other posts on some of the plans for this year I'm really sad it's not happening! However it's not all about the usual places to travel to. I've also got a bucket list of the places that perhaps aren't in all the travel guides. There are plenty of reasons behind each one. However here are five places that I want to visit off the beaten track... Officially I've been to North Korea. Well when I say officially I've been into the DMZ area between North and South when I was working in South Korea a few years back. Since then I've been totally fascinated with the country and the secretive nature of the whole country. The Country which…

This blog isn't really about the "home" life and what goes on here. We're far from an interior decorating couple and we're more "we like this" type couple. Perhaps not everyone would like it. Perhaps they might. Who knows?! However now we moved into our new home in August we've been manically painting! We did 5 rooms before we moved in as we had a nice overlap between our rental place and this place. Since then though I've not really had the energy to pick up a paint brush. However the one room "left" was the spare bedroom. With a week off work to use up (as our plans for 2020 have gone down the COVID drain) I decided that it was time to do get the bedroom make over…
Since the Covid shut down lots of people have been looking at different types of food and how to eat healthier and also order on line. The Muscle Food company gives many different options and food types to cater for different people and tastes. One of the products on offer that I love is their Prepped Pots range. This isn't a Covid fad though for myself I've know about these Muscle Food Prepped Pots for about 18 months - and I love them!

Before I found these Muscle Food Prepped Pots I used to have sandwiches, or eat what…
