I think it's safe to say that the United Kingdom is one of my favorite places to travel to four main reasons: Family! Shopping! SHOPPING! Shopping! Direct flight from Ottawa to London! + MANY direct and inexpensive flights from the UK to many major cities in Europe! It's a BEAUTIFUL country; from the heart of…
For those who are looking for healthy, organic, or fresh from the farm products, Farmer's Markets are a true gem - especially for those who live in the heart of a big city and don't have too much spare time to venture out to these local farms. (Yes, most stores carry "fresh from the field"…
