There’s no doubt about it, London is one of the most expensive places to live or visit. Afternoon tea at the Ritz will now set you back around £45 for a cuppa darjeeling and a few cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches (sans crusts!). A rugby game at Twickenham costs around £70 for a seat in […]
Mind the Fat!
The UK has become obsessed with people’s weight. Almost daily there are articles in newspapers, headline stories on television and radio news bulletins, front cover features in magazines and now even leaflets pushed through your door warning you of the dangers of obesity. One story that caught my eye last week reported that builders working […]
It’s All Bad News!
I think I’ve finally figured out the one thing that really gets me down about living in the UK. The bad news. There’s always bad news. There’s never uplifting, inspirational, feel-good news. There may be a positive story now and then but it lasts for only a few seconds before it’s shot down with bad […]

Bringing Home Baby
Sorry I’ve been offline for a few weeks but life has been rather hectic here since I posted the blog about Wills & Kate’s nuptials. You see, a baby has arrived. The first Baby Bushby in the household. A Bushbaby then! Finn Aidan Bushby (or FAB as we like to call him for short!), arrived […]
Here Comes the Bride …
What a blast it’s been living in London for the past two weeks. Royal fever swept the capital and virtually everyone – save for a few grumpy Republicans – went along for the ride. Regent Street was awash with Union Jacks, shops all along Oxford Street – from Selfridges to the corner kebab shop joined […]
