We have had such a lovely spell of weather this year and it’s exciting to think that we are still only in Spring and that the whole Summer is still to come. Here’s hoping for a long, hot one!

How To Transfer Money From UK To Australia
Our relationship with Australia is one that stretches back centuries. Ever since James Cook dropped anchor at Botany Bay, the UK has had a close connection with our Down Under cousins. Even today, the flag of Australia still bears the Union Jack. Strong familial ties exist between our two nations, and often, our youth go on multi-year backpacking adventures in Oz. From a business perspective, the UK is Australia’s fifth-largest trading partner. Goods and services worth billions of GBP move to/from Australia annually.

I am the owner of a small Etsy store, and despite the humble nature of my business, I have spent a lot of time and effort on my brand imagery. One of the ways I have chosen to showcase the products that I have to offer (I mainly focus on printable digital downloads)…

A Super Simple Way to Auto Invest Bitcoin Regularly
I am fairly new to investing – I have a few, small stock markets investments in what I’d consider to be ‘safe’ companies (although in the current environment, anything could happen, but all of my investments are definitely long term ones and I never invest more than I could afford to lose). I have recently started adding cryptocurrencies to my portfolio. As I am fairly risk-averse, personally when it comes to cryptocurrencies I only like to buy ‘little and often’. The way I see it, I probably used to spend £10 a week on coffees when out and about, which I no longer do. Instead, I have started investing this…
