Our trip to the Isles of Scilly was one that has been long-awaited! Earlier this year, I said to Lloyd how much I wanted to see more of the UK and Ireland. Case in point – living in Edinburgh a while back, I had taken it for granted and it was only after a long stint … Continue Reading
I’ve only ever been to Oxford twice in the past and both times it was to do with the University. (*This was of course before deciding that I’d much rather be in Cambridge… 😉 ) Pretty as Oxford is, I’d never actually spent any proper time exploring the city and I was only too happy … Continue Reading

For the longest time, I’ve wanted to visit Arundel Castle! I remember hearing about it years ago and thinking it was a joke – in large part because the name sounds made up, like a place or a character from Lord of the Rings. Then I found out it was a real place and, after … Continue Reading

If you’re from the UK, you will know how rare this much sunshine can be. 🙂 It’s as if Booking.com made their app foolproof just for me! Somehow I always seem to take a wrong … Continue Reading
We’ve raved about these islands so much on here and we’ve finally gotten round to putting together our video from our visit to the Isles of Scilly! The beaches are incredible here, the water is crystal clear one of the most Southern parts of England you can visit, the warm winds (a-la the Gulf stream) … Continue Reading
I absolutely love the UK so I may be a little bit biased but I genuinely feel like it has some of the nicest places to spend a summer (or winter) holiday. Unfortunately, a lot of places in the UK which offer a greatly different range of experiences and sights get easily over-looked for places … Continue Reading

On our final morning at the Wood Norton, the weather took a turn for the better! The sun came out and boy were we eager to make the most of it. We spent less time than I would usually have like at breakfast (I’m a three breakfasts kinda guy) and went off in search of … Continue Reading
After a rather cloudy but ridiculously beautiful day in Tresco, the sun upped its game the next day and we headed off to go explore another island we’d wanted to for a while – St Agnes!
