Top 10 Holiday Destinations

I hope you didn’t come here looking for some big shot recommendation, although I am kind of big deal… 😉 I love a good holiday, who doesn’t? I don’t really have a favourite holiday type. Anything that means I don’t have to clean my house for a few days or do any washing is good enoughContinue reading “Top 10 Holiday Destinations”

My New Year Tradition.

I have a New Year tradition which started about 10 or 11 years ago. A friend and I pick a date in January and head off on a walk, wander or if we’re feeling brave, a hike. It started with a blustery climb up Pen-Y-Ghent back in 2011 (I think). It was blowing a gale,Continue reading “My New Year Tradition.”

‘Our’ Earth and stuff…

This genuinely a complete ramble of word vomit… It started off with a point, then took a swift turn into something completely different, I managed to bring it back towards the end and I believe there’s a message in there somewhere… It’s just once I have a thought about something I have to get itContinue reading “‘Our’ Earth and stuff…”

The National Forest Adventure Farm’s Easter Eggstravaganza!

AD. I was gifted tickets from The National Forest Adventure Farm for our visit. All views are my own. What better way to start the Easter holidays than with a trip to the National Forest Adventure Farm! I’ve been coming to events here for two years now and they never cease to amaze me. IContinue reading “The National Forest Adventure Farm’s Easter Eggstravaganza!”

Bush-Craft Survival Day (aka Zombie prep)

As part of my new “get yourself out there and do stuff” attitude, I booked myself on to a Bush-Craft Survival course with Yorkshire Dales Bush-Craft. This one in particular took place in Skipton Woods, which, to be honest, is an incredible place to have a wander around in just for the sake of it.Continue reading “Bush-Craft Survival Day (aka Zombie prep)”

My solo travels – First stop…York

I enjoy time on my own, I can do as I please, I can eat where I like, I can go where I like and it’s just peaceful and fun. I have also noticed that people are so much nicer to me when I’m alone, as thought they feel sorry for me…which is kind ofContinue reading “My solo travels – First stop…York”

No longer a glamping virgin!

What better way to spend a couple of freezing cold January nights than in a glamping pod up in The Lakes… Hayley and I were glamping pod virgins before our visit to The Quiet Site but the experience did not disappoint, in fact we can’t wait to go back! We arrived early afternoon at TheContinue reading “No longer a glamping virgin!”

“What’s your USP?”…

  In my very early days of serious blogging I was chatting to a lady about my blog and she asked to see it. I gave her my site address and she had a quick look. She asked me, “What’s your USP?” USP wasn’t a term I was familiar with so I drew a blank.Continue reading ““What’s your USP?”…”

Northumberland Day Three

Our third and final day. Seahouses was on the agenda today. My Uncle John and Aunty Janet were up this way for a short break so we called to see them. A visit to Seahouses wouldn’t be complete without some delicious fish and chips. We usually get ours from the main restaurant near the roundaboutContinue reading “Northumberland Day Three”

Northumberland: Day One

It’s always a treat to Visit Northumberland, there’s a feeling of relaxation as you make your way further North. It’s serene, calm. The air is clear and you could be forgiven for thinking that could actually run in to a dragon at any given moment. My Mum has a cottage in a small village justContinue reading “Northumberland: Day One”
