We stopped off in Beverley for a walk round, I managed to have a quick look inside the grand Minster, in between toddler meltdowns. I’m not religious in any sense but I love cathedrals, churches and minsters because of the architecture and history. Beverley’s minister is a must visit. We walked around the town, having … More Shots of Beverley and Hull
The Selfridges/Bullring’s exterior has a temporary new look while it is being renovated, it’s the first time we saw it on our visit last week. It’s quite a fancy design for a scaffolding wrap. Visiting Birmingham this month was a bit sad on the shopping front. Grand Central has a huge empty space now John … More Birmingham’s shopping issues
Whitby is a more popular destination on the Yorkshire coast than Scarborough. No offence to Whitby, I just think Scarborough has more to offer. However, we still had a day trip to Whitby and enjoyed the sights. Whitby has a lot to offer with its views, coastline, Abbey, history and shops/cafes. But like last year … More Shots of Whitby
We went up to the Yorkshire coast in June, like we did last September. We stayed in Blue Dolphin caravan resort, which was a much less nice Haven resort compared to Primrose Valley. But I wanted to try a different caravan park. Going for a week this time we had the time to achieve more. … More Scarborough 2021 – a “Great” British tourist destination
On our visit to Somerset in early May we stayed at a Haven caravan site in Burnham on Sea. We chose Somerset over Wales when picking a Haven site as at the time we saw it as too much of a risk to choose Wales because of the varying Covid restrictions between countries. The Haven … More Drab Burnham
This was our first trip since the lockdowns and tier systems of late 2020/early 2021. We spent 3 nights at a Haven caravan park in Burnham on Sea. As we hadn’t been to Somerset before we wanted to see more of the area, so had a day out to Weston-super-Mare. On the day we went … More Weston-super-Mare
In my last blog post I mentioned that we had a holiday booked to Majorca for the start of May, but obviously that has been cancelled now that abroad holidays are going to take place from 17th May at the earliest. However, it is not the end of the world even though I was very … More Holidays booked
My blog posts have been sparse in recent months, mainly because we love to travel and in the last 3 months the biggest adventure we’ve been on is sitting by the river in our car…eating cake… Since November we have been in some sort of a lockdown, so it has been a while since we … More 2021
Known as the Venice of the Cotswolds, Bourton on the Water is a very popular destination in the Cotswolds, with the pretty shallow river running through the middle of the town that had several small footbridges running across it, I could see the comparison to Venice. We were told that Bourton was the busiest town … More Bourton on the Water
We explored a few towns while in the Cotswolds, all had the same kind of brickwork and architecture. Stow on the Wold was busy and I didn’t expect it to be overly crowded by traffic, but it did have a lot of pretty buildings and great architecture.
