If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know I recently visited the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail. A four and a half mile walk through the woods sculpture spotting. Thankfully the weather held up and we only had a very short sprinkle of rain. As this was a spur of the moment decision we hadn’t packed lunch or water but luckily there is a cafe adjacent to the carpark. Unfortunately…

Favourite things to do in Somerset | Guest Post
It’s been a couple of weeks since the last post in my staycation series, Blogtober and Halloween kind of took over. But we’re back this week with the lovely Kelly talking about her home county of Somerset. Missed a post in my staycation series. Catch up here. 😊 Hello everyone. My name is Kelly and I run The Kelly Diane Report. I’ve previously run another blog but for various personal…

Rainy day in London
Last Saturday Aaron and I were on the National Express coach on our way to London. Which was his first time in the city! He wasn’t really sure what he wanted to do or see except for “Big Ben”. Massive thanks to Ellie and Lauren for their ideas of what to do in London with a first timer. In true British fashion it tipped it down – putting a dampener…

Things to do in Northumberland | Guest Post
How many of us take the time to explore our “own back yard”, whether that be your own country, state or county or even the town or city you live in? A staycation can be the perfect get away and something I’m trying to do more often. Next in my staycation series we’re taking a trip to the North of England with Rachael to a place high on my UK…

Things to do in The Rhondda Valleys | Guest post
How many of us opt to go aboard rather than explore our own country? Personally I love a staycation, they’re perfect for a weekend away (especially around a bank holiday!) and usually a lot easier, and cheaper to travel to. Over the next few weeks I’m teaming up with bloggers to talk about their local area and hopefully give you a few new staycation or day trip ideas. 😊🚘🛣🚌🚂🛤 First…

Nessie hunting on Loch Ness
It’s been a while since I last posted and even longer since my Scottish road trip back in October! I’ve been suffering with my mental health and took a break from blogging as well as social media. Ryan and I broke up in early December as well. After our tour of Fort William and Ben Nevis we headed further north to Loch Ness with hopes of finding the Loch Ness…

Scottish Highlands: Ben Nevis
After a busy few days in Edinburgh, Ryan and I continued our road trip and headed into the Scottish highlands. Our first stop was the Famous Grouse distillery which unfortunately wasn’t open for another hour when we arrived! 🙁 But we took some photos and made a note to go back again at some point. In fact there are many things we want to go back and do in the…

Edinburgh – The Royal Mile, Ghost Tours & Pubs
Our final day in Edinburgh took us down the Royal Mile. We got up early, hopped on the tram and headed straight for the castle on the hill. Which is the start of the Royal Mile and as the name suggests is roughly a mile! The castle was impressive up close and the hill gave great views over Edinburgh. I do think I loved Alnwick castle more though. We took…

Alnwick Castle and Gardens
Ryan and I have just gotten home from our road trip through part of England and Scotland. It was a long drive but I’m happy we did it instead of using public transport, we came across some picturesque towns and villages. Our holiday started with a 6 and a half hour drive up the Fosseway, an old Roman road connecting Exeter to Lincoln . According to our Google Map route…
