Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
Happy new year everyone! I hope you all had a great one and manged to celebrate in this weird time we're living in. England is now in it's third (and hopefully it's last) lockdown. This started a couple of days after Christmas and is being reevaluated the middle of February. Yesterday I celebrated my birthday... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →

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 →
After leaving Amsterdam we rode to Brussels. It took us about three hours with a couple of stops along the way. Riding through the Netherlands is basically green fields, beautiful waterways, cows and the occasional windmill. It's stunning. We rode a long the motorway so I didn't really get any photos but here's one I... Continue Reading →
As we've got some time off work and having recently bought a Harley Davidson, we decided we'd ride to Amsterdam. From Bristol, it takes just over eight hours. We were going to break this up into two, but as rain was forecast all day on Wednesday, we rode all the way there. I'm glad we... Continue Reading →
