@nomadandinlove Yorkshire Tea

Like one would bring back biltong from South Africa, olive oil from Greece, a wife from the Philippines… what should I bring back from the UK when I visit next week?

@tspadventure Very good point! For me, carrot & swede is the only mash allowed on a roast plate 😁

@maycausewanderl Ah this was a sweet potato mash if that makes any difference? Though I guess one of the nice things about a roast is there’s something on that massive plate for everyone 😂

One of my favourite UK traditions is a Sunday roast. Cozy, delicious food in a casual pub is a great way to end the week!

@tspadventure Phew, I thought they’d only given you one or two, based on the photo! 😅 (I don’t approve of mash on a roast, I’m afraid 🤭 I know some people like it and from what I gather, it’s pretty standard in Ireland, but it’s roasties all the way for me!)

@maycausewanderl I think there were 3 or 4, just hidden by the food on top, but still short of your five. Though the potato is never my favourite part. I love all the veggie sides and mash!

All this to say: I like big maps and I cannot lie… 🎶

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I’m not on here much, but wanted to share my favourite Christmas present: an original map of Paris dating from 1863 I had a right little geek-out with the guy in the map shop about what was/wasn’t built at that time 🤓 I love it so much!

@tspadventure Oh I used to live near there - on Electric Avenue 😁

Living right by Brixton Village while we’re in London is so fun (and so dangerous for my wallet). I want to buy and eat everything!

@tspadventure Good lord…

If you were thinking about taking a photo in front of an iconic red phone booth with Big Ben in the background…you better get in line! 😅

@Samshannon80 Greenland! 🇬🇱

@maycausewanderl Ooo that is pretty where is that 😻

Hello travellers, any suggestions for things to do in Tangier? 🇲🇦 I’m thinking landmarks, great places to eat. I have a place to stay sorted Thanks in advance!

@tspadventure Yeah, it carries on southwards across the street from the southern end of Jouffroy. Hope you’re enjoying Paris! September is a good month for being there, I think

@maycausewanderl No, just Verdeau and Jouffroy. Our daughter fell asleep mid-way through Jouffroy and our dog was getting tired too so we headed back to our accommodation. Were we close to Panoranas? Sounds like we missed a cool one! Though I did see some stamps and cafes in the ones we visited.

Checking out some of the cool covered passageways in Paris today. This one dates back to 1846!

@tspadventure Maybe, I wrote a post about them with a map. Looks like you want to passages Jouffroy and Verdeau - did you also go to Passage des Panoranas, with the old stamp sellers and lots of cafes?

@maycausewanderl Maybe it was you who I heard about them from? I had them saved on my Google Maps but wasn’t sure why. But yeah, they’re super cool!

@sl2016_sl I loved it on the coast at Mirissa, from where you can go blue whale watching (not sure of the seasonality). I had to skip Yala NP because i got food poisoning, but I heard good things about it. Sigiriya is really special - I loved it there. Enjoy the hoppers & amazing fruit 😋

My beautiful travel twitter - am heading out to Sri Lanka next month. Does anyone have any recommendations for places to see etc 😊

@BeyondTheMiles1 Yeah, I’ve skipped restaurants before if I didn’t have cash and couldn’t get it easily enough

I always wonder if saving on the credit card fees is worth it for cash only restaurants when they may lose business or cause people to order less because they have to pay in cash.

@barefootjandals Did you carry on until the bit where there’s no barrier/railing to the river?

I’ve decided to continue onwards #thamespath

@TravelFearless Bet I know who this is without even having seen anything from them for years

Today I saw a blogging coach selling an AI system for bloggers announce that the AI system was telling potential customers that it included things you actually wouldn’t get, so don’t believe the AI when it says you’ll receive X, Y or Z. 😂

Standing on the Blackfriars bridge, looking across the Thames with tears in my eyes and fucking fire in my chest, I’m not sure I’ve ever felt so defensive of my city

2, a week after the bombings, London stopped to honour the victims: we went outside all over the city for two minutes silence at midday. For me, doing it outside also made it an act of defiance, a way of saying, ‘we’re still here, you can’t stop us’

20 years since the 7/7 London bombings Memories from that day are of confusion, horror, sadness and fear But there are two memories from the days and weeks after that I prefer to dwell on 1, the next day I took a bus to work… #londonbombings
