Yesterday was Mother’s day in the UK so we took a trip to Longleat Safari Park. Mum had been hinting at wanting to go to their for weeks. đ To keep the suspense we took a detour through Westonbirt but as soon as she saw the lion signs the secret was out We bought our discounted tickets online to benefit from the online discount. As I was going through the…

Cirencester : A Town Guide
Cirencester, Gloucestershire: The capital of the cotswolds. NB. I have also submitted a similar article at Cut Out + Keep. The best thing about Cirencester (or Corinium) is its history. It was the second largest Roman town and has a bunch of historical sites in the town and surrounding villages. On Cotswold Avenue is the site of a Roman amphitheatre. It’s still buried but retains its shape. It’s great for…

Road Trip From Warsaw to Krakow, Poland
We didn’t make it to the Zielona Gora Winobranie that I spoke about last year but made sure we attended this year. Winobranie is a wine and music festival in Artur’s home town. There are stalls, various places to eat and a lot of wine. His best friend from Zielona Gora was in the parade, which was also going on during the day. We didn’t spend as much time in…

Mother’s Day trip to Bath
This past weekend Artur and I took my mum to the city of Bath to celebrate Mother’s Day. She had given us a few ideas for her Mother’s Day outing the week before including Bath Bourton-on-the-Water and Longleat Safari Park and Gardens. With its Roman history and the chance to explore a new city – Bath was an easy choice. To be honest I’m surprised we took so long to visit this beautiful…

Travelling to Paris by Motorbike
This past weekend my boyfriend and I made a last-minute decision to go on a road trip to Paris! And since it was a bank holiday weekend we both had three days to play with. Instead of using my car, we decided travelling to Paris by motorbike would be a great new adventure for us. We started our trip early Friday morning with a 3-hour journey to The Channel Tunnel…

Cologne and the Rise N’ Shine Convention Germany
If you’re a long time reader you’ll know that I’ve been to a fair few conventions over the years. But never abroad. That was until my friend Sarah – who I met through the Hallowhedon events – invited me to come to the Rise N’Shine convention in Cologne. Germany! Which was not only my first convention abroad but also my first holiday with friends. Cologne itself is a very beautiful…

24 hours in Gdansk and Sopot – Poland
Last month I took my first trip alone, on a plane, to Poland! Honestly, I was really nervous about the trip, having never traveled alone before. But especially because I don’t know much of the language (other than hello and goodbye), although Artur assured me most people would understand what I said if I spoke to them in English and, most did, though it took a few attempts. We had…

My 21st Birthday Staycation
After my parents threw me a party for my 18th, I knew I wanted something a bit more relaxed to celebrate my 21st birthday. Don’t get me wrong I’m very thankful to them for throwing the party for me and I especially loved my Buffy cake(!). đ But wanted a more chilled 21st. Especially as I haven’t been feeling too well lately. As luck would have it my Auntie Val…
