A humble travelers notebook and journaling/filler cards from In a Creative Bubble have made completion of this year's Northern Road Trip quick and effective. I took the TN with me, but didn't write a single word of journaling while we were away; everything was added once home.

Meet Me In The Margins by Melissa Ferguson | Kindle | This is one of those slow burn romance books where you’re not entirely sure who you’re rooting for.

The Elizabeth Line cut the travelling time considerably, as we took the train to Liverpool Street and then walked the mile to the museum. The museum, formerly known at the Geffrye Museum, explores home and home life … Continue reading Museum of the Home
