For lovers of relaxation there may be no better place for a spa break visit than Iceland’s Blue Lagoon.

Happy Chinese New Year
I braved the crowds and headed to Chinatown in central London today to take part in the Chinese New Year celebrations. I’m a sucker for dragons and lanterns, but the crowds the past two years have been unbearable so I can’t say I got right to the heart of the activities. Luckily I managed to…
