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 →

The Upside down house, Bristol
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.

A short stay in a Shepherds hut, Looe
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.

One of which is Bennet's Patch and White's Paddock, home to some beautiful sculptures and scenery,... Continue Reading →
Arnos Vale Cemetery, Bristol
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 →
The flea market, Malvern
I love searching for a bargain and finding hidden gems. Ever since I was little, I've always loved a flea market.

Lovely Jubbly visit to see the Trotters, Bristol
If you're a fan of Only Fools and Horses then you'll know exactly who the Trotter brothers are.

It was aired from 1981 - 2003 and... Continue Reading →
Isolating when you’re already isolated
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.

The basement of skeletons, St Leonards Church, Hythe
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 →
Bee Shelter and St. Mary’s Church, Hartpury
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 →
