Jubilee Pool, Penzance
I visited Penzance in Cornwall, UK, with a friend for a gloriously fun and sunny weekend last year. It was such a brilliant weekend and we were totally blessed with weather. There is a lido there called the Jubliee Pool. It had fallen into disrepair but had been restored to its former glory and was [...]
New Discoveries!
I spent a lovely day in London at the weekend catching up with a friend. We ate good food, drank gin and tonic and she introduced me to the works of the prolific artist, Dale Chihuly, an American glass sculptor. I must admit I had never heard of him, but as soon as I glimpsed [...]
A Sunny Weekend in Historic Warwick
A weekend away in Warwick was a bit of last minute decision. We had a wedding to attend on the Sunday evening and I had taken Monday off work, so it seemed like the logical thing to do to extend the weekend. We decided to stay at the Hilton on the outskirts of Warwick, as [...]
Wakey Wakey, Rise and Shine!
I was expecting to wake up to rain (and possibly snow!) this morning, instead I was greeted with this... a very lovely surprise!

Taking the sleeper train to Cornwall for a mini adventure!
When I think of sleeper trains I tend to think of something out of an Agatha Christie novel, where you need to ‘dress for dinner’. Something that is all wood panelling, brandy and cigars! Well, I can’t say that the Great Western Railway Night Riviera was much like that (despite the cool name!), but it [...]
The Power of Noise
Daily Prompt - Crescendo We were sat looking down on the track, along with a few thousand other spectators. Our view was of the finish line, so we really shouldn’t have been worried about whether we might have a restricted view at all, it couldn't have been better! We had been lucky enough to obtain [...]
Banishing the lazy demons with yoga
Our yoga teacher told us to lift our arms and open our hearts, elevating our chests up and out. As we all tried to concentrate on our breathing and bring ourselves onto our mats, I realised that I had missed my weekly yoga classes. I had been lazy in the past few months and had [...]
