Two years ago, I was the biggest cheese addict known to mankind.
In fact, I don’t think my friends would have batted an eyelid if I’d announced I was changing my middle name to “Cheese.”
I lived, ate, and in fact, I’m pretty sure on one occasion I practically inhaled it.

From City Break To Road Trip
I’ll be totally honest here, I’m a city girl through and through.
I love the hustle and bustle, the vast array of restaurants and shops, the guarantee that you can find whatever you need within a ten minute radius.
