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…

Road Trip Essentials
Last year I took a road trip from Edinburgh through the Scottish Highlands and up to Loch Ness. It was my first road trip without my parents and a great experience. I think I saw a lot more of the country than I would have by train or plane. I learnt a lot on that trip from what to bring, to road safety and how to prevent arguments with your…

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…

Staycation & birthday celebrations 2017
Ryan and I booked the first week of May off work with the original intention of a road trip through Ireland, but due to the unknown state of our housing situation towards the end of March (you can read more about that in my moving back in with your parents as an adult post) we decided to save the money just in case we needed it for a rental or…

How we spent our Staycation part 2
A couple of months ago I talked about how Ryan and I spent our Staycation and that we had another one coming up in early May. The weather was bizarre this week, a mixture of rain, sun and thunderstorms, which meant we couldn’t do as many outdoor activities as we hoped. Dragon Boat Racing in Gloucester Sunday, we went to the Dragon Boat Reggatta in Gloucester where they had live…

How we spent our Staycation
We had a Staycation last week, the weather was pretty good. Cloudy and not too warm on some of the days but the rain held off! 🙂 In my last post I wrote a list of things we planned to do with our week off, here’s what we decided on. At Home Day – R&R Monday was mostly spent at home and at the gym. Ryan has a weekly training…
