Welcome to my blog, Philosofreaky! My name is Bree and I currently reside in Alberta, with my boyfriend and our border collie/blue heeler. I’m infatuated with Film & Television, Video Games, Books, the color orange and yes, even the Spice Girls. I love Lord of the Rings, Monty Python, and evidently many French Foreign Films. I am one of those people who love to ‘get’ LOST.

Our last day tour excursion took us out of London and on our way to Windsor to see the castle and home of the Queen. We left quite early in the day so that we could get there before the castle opened, putting us nearly first in line and giving us a rather quiet place to walk around.  As with...

Cornwall, England

Cornwall is a magical place, it feels like home – exactly how I thought it would. Sure, I’m a city-girl mostly. (You kind of have to be when you don’t drive and need to be close to everything.) But there is something about the country, the ocean air, the moors, tight “stre...

Game of Thrones Tour in Northern Ireland
Posted
Pairs of people start congregating beside a TopShop in downtown Belfast before it’s even 7:30am. “Game of Thrones?” They ask each other as they arrive, “yes, you’re our people” we exclaim. You’ve never seen a more orderly of a queue than a bunch of nerds ...

Our stay here in Edinburgh has been brief. When we first arrived we dropped our luggage off at the train station so that we could go up to the castle to take a look before we settled in at the hotel. I blogged about our second day in Scotland separately, as we took a full day tour to the West ......

By Day 7 Mum forgot or didn’t care anymore that when I told her I wanted to visit Hampton Court Palace that she said, “no, we’re going to see enough castles already.” After having a quaint eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast breakfast we traveled outside of London by first tak...

A Posh Spice Day in London

Today was another day that we made a dream come true, but let’s start at the beginning. I made Mum and I breakfast in our hotel, which proved some difficulty because we had no spatulas and no seasonings. We had eggs, bacon, and potatoes through improvisation and other than nothing being the...

A couple of days ago we bought advanced tickets to gain access into the London Eye and of course today was the first day we experiences rain in London. The rain actually wasn’t that bad at all, itself was refreshing and light, but the clouds and the condensation on the windows of the pod it...

Getting Medieval in London
Posted
I did a separate post about our visit to the Tower of London because it was super-exciting for me and also because it was its own entity unto itself. We did however pack more into that one day, and it got pretty medieval in more ways than one. We took a City Cruise down the River Thames to get to...
