Rachel Recommends… Fun in the Snow!

This week’s wintry weather brought Britain to a stand still as most of the country became covered in a thick blanket of snow. The freezing conditions may have caused havoc but they also created plenty of magical photo opportunities for those brave enough to venture out. I didn’t manage to get further than my local […]

Rachel Recommends… Putting Your Best Foot Forward

It’s the start of a brand new year and after hibernating for most of December I’m ready to dust off the cobwebs, how about you? If like me you’ve made a resolution to get out there and explore more of Britain in 2013 then you really are spoilt for choice, especially if your boots are […]

Rachel Recommends… Great British Gift Ideas

If like me you’re currently in the midst of the Christmas shopping season, it’s probably worth noting that once again researchers have been out in force to remind us that positive experiences are much more likely to bring happinesses than material goods.

Rachel Recommends… Ideas for rainy days!

Well what a rotten week it’s been on the weather front, rain, rain everywhere and only a few hours of daylight per day! You would think that after spending the wettest summer on record for nearly a hundred years in a camper van that I might have embraced a fondness for wet weather, you’d be […]

Rachel Recommends… Festive Markets

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… not only did I have to de-ice my car this weekend but I also had the choice of at least half a dozen festive markets taking place across the North of England. I may have been slightly grumpy about the windscreen, however, I couldn’t have been happier […]

Rachel Recommends… Getting on Your Bike

I’m not sure whether it was the Olympic-effect, the inspiration of my new favourite mod Bradley Wiggins or the promise of pub lunch at the end but when my other half suggested a borrowing a couple of bikes and heading out to cycle through Derwent Walk Country Park last Saturday I found myself eagerly agreeing!

Rachel Recommends… Events to Make Your Bonfire Night Go With a Bang!

Ever since Guy Fawkes attempted to carry out the Gunpowder Plot on the 5th of November 1605, the date has been engrained in British history. If you grew up in this country you will no doubt have childhood memories of standing round a crackling bonfire, tucking in to a toffee apple or a sticky slice […]

Over the last couple of months, food lovers young and old have been on the edge of their sets as 12 British bakers battled it out in the third series of BBC2′s ‘The Great British Bake Off’.

Torchlight on Orkney

“Are you here for the diving?” The first time I was asked took me aback, though not unpleasantly. I assumed I must look like the adventurous type.  I was carried from the Tourist Information office by a more suave walk than the one that carried me in. “She asked if I was here for the diving” […]
