Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
Usually at this time of the year we are hiding from the winter cold. However with England being in yet another lockdown, we are embracing it and exploring more of the outdoors. Even if it does rain! Always smiling when there's a coffee in hand! On a blustery Sunday, my sister and I grabbed a... Continue Reading →
Cheddar Gorge is located in the Medip Hills, near the village of Cheddar. Its the UK's largest gorge and has some incredible views both from the top and bottom. Mitch didn't want his photo taken, can you tell? He he You're probably thinking you've heard of Cheddar before? Yup, Cheddar cheese is from Cheddar! It... Continue Reading →
It's been raining a lot here lately, so inside activities are a must. I've never been to an upside down house, nor did I really know what my sister was talking about when she suggested we visited one. My sister, Chloe Honestly I haven't laughed this much in a long time. I felt like such... Continue Reading →
This is the second part to my previous post, which you can read all about here. After a lovely night in our sheppards hut in Looe, we were back on the bike and headed along the coast to Lizard Point. Our Harley Lizard Point is the most southern part of the UK. A popular walking... Continue Reading →
Mitch and I have just had three weeks off work (I know, three weeks!) and in the last few days, we decided to take an impromptu trip on the Harley. We hadn't taken our motorbike on a big trip since last September, when we rode all the way to Amsterdam, so it was definitely time... Continue Reading →
After being hit with another heatwave here in the UK, we decided to make the most of it and go exploring. Here in Bristol, we're pretty lucky that we are surrounded by great places to go for a walk. One of which is Bennet's Patch and White's Paddock, home to some beautiful sculptures and scenery,... Continue Reading →
This is my favourite place to go for a walk in Bristol. A beautifully green hidden gem, this cemetery holds 170,000 of the departed in their final resting place. Most of which has been reclaimed by nature, making this cemetery so incredibly unique. Opened in 1837, the Arnos Vale was created as a spacious garden... Continue Reading →
I love searching for a bargain and finding hidden gems. Ever since I was little, I've always loved a flea market. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, a flea market (also known as a bootsale) is an event in the UK, where people sell their unwanted belongings. As you... Continue Reading →
If you're a fan of Only Fools and Horses then you'll know exactly who the Trotter brothers are. For those who don't, it is a brilliant comedy, about two brothers who buy and sell almost anything, mostly dodgy goods, in the hopes of one day becoming millionaires. It was aired from 1981 - 2003 and... Continue Reading →
For four weeks the UK has been under lockdown. We have been told to self isolate with the exception of excercise and shopping for essentials. For many people this has lead to their career taking a drastic change or unfortunately, losing their job altogether. Given the circumstances, Mitch and I are very lucky to still... Continue Reading →
I hope everyone is staying safe and looking after each other at this crazy time. At the moment, the UK is social distancing, not isolating unless you are showing symptoms. Our pubs, clubs, cafes, restaurants etc were closed on Friday. We have yet to go into lock down but the way things are going, I... Continue Reading →
Wowie I haven't wrote in a while, but then again, I haven't really been able to go any where in a while. You can guess what my new years resolution is! For my sister's birthday, we took the train to Birmingham to visit the Coffin Works and explore the area... Because what else do you... Continue Reading →

For us, it was two and a half hours of fascination, discomfort, confrontation and overall satisfying our morbid curiosity. A perfect post for Halloween. "Crime... Continue Reading →
Usually skeletons are 6ft underground with no chance of ever being seen again. So when we visited St Leonards Church, it was quite strange to see hundreds of them on display, in the basement. Even more strange, is that no one is really certain where they came from. There are a few theories floating around,... Continue Reading →
I love riding my motorbike through the countryside. Especially when the roads take you to hidden gems like these. I've passed the sign for the Bee Shelter countless of times but never actually looked into it. I assumed it was a conservation area or something like that, but it's actually a historic site of listed... Continue Reading →
