The benefits of long distance relationships

Long distance relationships are unlike any other relationship you’ll experience. You have all the wonderful factors that most healthy relationships have, like love, partnership and acceptance.

Beyond that, the distance can wreak havoc on your emotional state. Suddenly, the small things […]

Horror Movie Challenge

We mentioned in our first post that we really like movies. We also really like horror movies, and in 2015 we set ourselves a challenge: to watch a horror film every night for the month of October.  In hindsight, the year itself wasn’t ideal – we moved into our new house that year, and the […]

5 Autumn Date Ideas

Autumn is our favourite season of the year. Not because we met at this time (we didn’t – June had that honour), there’s just something special about this transitional season.
