We have stayed in Worcester for a couple of nights and on our first day we had good weather! I took this photo on the bridge as I admired the wonderful cathedral in the distance. It was a lovely walk along the river, past the market stalls and along Kleve Walk until we ended up … More Worcester – #TravelTuesday Photo
At this moment in time we are in the process of buying a house and as anyone who has done this knows it can be quite a stressful and frustrating time. This meant we needed a day out. So we decided on playing it safe and going somewhere we have been many times and love, … More Taking a Breather in Bakewell
I visited Bath a decade ago while on my travels around England. It was one of my favourite destinations during my England trip and still is one of my favourites ever to date! The city is so full of history, beautiful architecture and exciting culture. I stayed at the YHA hostel which is in an Italianate mansion … More Bath Time
The Major Oak is an ancient tree that still stands (with a little support) even though it is over 1000 years old! This old tree is in Sherwood Forest, the home of Robin Hood which is a lovely area of woodland and trails to walk round. As long as the weather is nice. We went … More The Major Oak – #EasterSunday Photo
The main purpose of our weekend away to the Welsh border was to go on an ancestral pilgrimage.

It was actually Monmouth that we were visiting, but there was no accommodation to fit our needs, so we booked a couple of nights at the Premier Inn just a two minute drive from Ross on Wye. Although we stayed in Ross on Wye just for accommodation purposes, it is still a town worthy of … More Ross On Wye – A Gateway to Wales
After an unsuccessful visit to Alfreton we wanted to salvage what was left of the day by driving the short journey to Belper. It may have only been a 15 minute drive from Alfreton but we had moved away from the not so nice area near North Nottinghamshire and moved further into Derbyshire. Belper is only … More Belper – Saving the Day
We haven’t been on many days out this year so far and as I didn’t have the inconvenience of work last weekend we wanted to take advantage. Nowadays choosing a new day out destination has become rather difficult. Over the last 6 and a half years together we have been to every nice and okay … More Alfreton – A Mistake
There’s plenty of things to see in Nottingham. Whether you go for a walk, cycle or are just driving through. But I like to walk and I’m a quick walker at that! On my walks I have taken photos of the pretty sights and hidden treasures around Nottingham. Nottingham city centre to Gamston – 3 … More Walking in Nottingham: Part 1
