RHS Chatsworth Flower Show

Last week the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) held their first ever show over five days at Chatsworth House. Advertisements

The Coromandel Peninsula

At the risk of last weeks’ blog post of where to go in New Zealand’s North Island being too much, here is Part 2 (blushes).  What can I say… there were simply too many photo’s for just one post last week and this amazing part of New Zealand really does deserve it’s own stage.  Case closed. … WHITIANGA. THE PLACE:  our base in Coromandel was Whitianga, somewhere we will absolutely…

New Zealand; Exploring the North Island

A couple of months ago we went to New Zealand for a family vacation to the North Island.  Travelling to destinations by car, we managed to see quite a few of the sights but returned, I’m sure, having only scratched the surface!  It’s been rather a task sorting through over 1500 photos but finally have the edit.  Will keep this short and sweet and just say…

5 Things to Go-Do in The Lake District

We’ve been visiting the Lake District Cumbria since we were kids.  Apart from the STUNNING scenery, it has some great places to have fun, especially in the warmer months; here they are.  Visit Hawkshead.  Cute as you like, quaint streets, some good ole English cafe’s, pubs and visitor shops, it’s a good place to spend half a day. Poppy Red is a cafe/shop that has…

Camping: 3 Top Tips (and some beautiful pictures of The Lake District)

Camping… possibly a bit like Marmite?  You either love it or hate it?  We grew up camping every year, all six of us, so I think it’s just in my blood and is now something I’ve done with my little lady this past three years (guess what – she loves it too). There are so many options now with pods and yurts and Lord knows whatever else…

The Lakeside Hotel

One of our favourite places to get away to is The Lakeside Hotel.  Situated on the shores of  Lake Windermere, it is in an amazing location with stunning views.  We all look for different things from our holidays; anybody else a scenery person?  I adore beautiful views but also need a place my young daughter can enjoy and have a great time in too.  The Lakeside is that for…

CHESTERS by the RIVER

“Ooh this time last week”… do you ever say that?  Well we are today because last Sunday we spent a large portion of the day at one of our favourite lifestyle places to hangout, CHESTERS. Chesters is everything you’d want for a relaxed and terribly civilised Sunday.  Nestled by the River Brathay at Skelwith Bridge, everything within its doors is housed behind a beautiful slate facade looking every-bit the part…

Visit the Natural History Museum, London

Earlier this year we visited the Natural History Museum London.  Aside from the incredible specimens of history it holds within its doors (over 80 million items!), the building itself is a phenomenal structure and it’s that I want to share with you this week. We wandered for a couple of hours in and out of zones and rooms, the kids bypassing anything which did not interest them.  To…

A Sticky Post

Every blog I write I ask myself at some point ‘so what’.  What’s the …’annd?’ for my lovely readers.  Last week we went away with extended family and whilst ever it was never my intention prior to going to take pictures of ‘X’ to make a post about ‘Y’ I snapped away at whatever took my eye. I like it that way. It is unforced, natural and makes post-writing…

The best time to visit London? (don’t tell anyone but it’s Easter Monday!)

Easter Bank Holiday we went and stayed in London, the last place you should go on Bank Holiday some may have said; ‘won’t it be heaving with people…?!’ The answer was no. It was blissfully perfect for adults and kids allowing us to enjoy the city we saw rather than get lost in the sheer volume of normal city-goers and commuters.  We could wander – let the kids go on ahead and was altogether the…

For the LOVE of LIBERTY

This past week saw us visit London.  There will be a full London post next week (as I got so many pictures!) but just home and still on half-term jollies it is a simple but oh so beautiful look at the incredible LIBERTY. LIBERTY is a place I follow on social media and look at other people’s swoonings of its’ greatness but till this week, have never…
