Up until a “penny drop moment” last year, we’d been so obsessed with the idea of trying to see as much of the world as possible (outside of the UK)  that we’d completely overlooked what was in our own “back garden”. The UK is a treasure trove of amazing sights to see, things to do and … Continue Reading

Being Welsh, I’ve come to realise I have a pretty big soft spot for our capital city, Cardiff. Even to this day, I love heading back to the city for a little gander around the Castle, St. Fagan’s or even a cheeky visit to Chip Shop Alley (I’ll explain further in this post 🤣).

It seems like us Brits have been keeping this beauty spot to our selves, sorry! ☺ Situated 30 miles or so, off Cornwall – this archipelago of Atlantic islands are a truly spectacular wonder for a … Continue Reading

The Hebrides are an archipelago off the coast of Scotland (essentially they’re Scottish islands, or at least that’s how I like to think of them) and they’re absolutely amazing!
