Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
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 →
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 →
Warning: This post contains images and references which may upset some viewers. This place won't be for everyone so please, do not read ahead if this warning applies to you. 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 →
After our stay in Brussels we were on our way to Calais. The next morning we were getting the ferry back to England and sadly completing the last leg of our trip. We had an amazing time but the next trip will definitely be longer and further! On the way to Calais, we stopped to... 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 →
A very common misconception of the Flame of Liberty, is that it was built in memory of Princess Diana. Whilst she was more than deserving of the sculpture, the flame was actually built in 1986, eleven years before Diana's death. Symbolising enlightenment to the world, it became known as Diana's Flame.Diana's death is still one... Continue Reading →
One of the first things that comes to mind when thinking of Paris, and France really, is the Eiffel Tower. Originally built in 1887, this sculpture was only meant to be temporary as part of the worldwide exhibition. The creator, Gustave Eiffel, had planned to destroy it twenty years after the exhibition ended. However, in... Continue Reading →
Okay so this is a little bit of an odd place to visit and perhaps a bit creepy, but beauty can be found any where, and there was a lot to be found at the Montparnasse Cemetery. I came across this cemetery whilst researching the area after visiting the catacombs. Well known for its abstract... Continue Reading →
For all the book worms out there, this store is a little slice of heaven. So this blog post is a bit of a sneaky one as you're not actually meant to take photos here. I was very quick and discrete when I took mine, so please don't think of me as an annoying tourist... Continue Reading →
