One Year Today
Today marks one year since we, here in the UK, were informed by our Prime Minister that we were going into lockdown for the first time, as this pandemic started taking hold across the globe. I watched the broadcast that night, fearful and anxious, knowing we were witnessing history and wondering what on earth the [...]
Why Do I Feel Like Hugging A Tree?
I had popped out for a little walk at lunchtime, hoping to clear my head and catch a few light rays which were threatening to break through the clouds. In reality I ended up walking with light snow flakes falling on my head, interspersed with a little bit of sun. It was so cold! I [...]
Because I Love…
...THE SNOW!!! Which won't be a surprise to you if you read my last post! I took myself out for a nice long walk when it snowed here last weekend, taking photos at almost every step. The snow only lasted the day, but it felt like a much needed interlude from the gloom of the [...]
More Autumn Loveliness
I last posted about what the change of seasons means and how things might change from here. I have continued to get out in the fresh air when I can (it feels more important than ever to do this) and have continued to be mesmerised by these amazing Autumn tones. With all the gloom and [...]
Because I Love…

This window was in The Bishop's Palace [...]

My 2018 Travels – A(nother) Review!
Well, it's almost the end of the year and it's that time when we all start reflecting on the year that has passed, the ups and downs, the achievements, the un-achievements (lets not call them failures!). You may also be inundated with review posts at the moment...so sorry to add to the pile, but here [...]
The Blackpool Illuminations!
A visit to Blackpool wouldn't be complete without seeing the Illuminations!! We had been up the Blackpool Tower earlier that day, (enjoying the views!) so, we were up for hitting another of the town's tourist attractions! The tradition of the annual illuminations which light up the promenade dates back to 1879, when they first experimented [...]
Fabulous Fireworks!
It was Bonfire Night in the UK on Monday, a day when everyone goes firework crazy! Our local fireworks display was held on the Saturday evening, and as usual it was pretty spectacular. I took the opportunity to test out the camera on my new mobile phone. I've opted for a Google Pixel 2 as [...]
