April was a pretty big month for me and my boyfriend; not only did we celebrate the 3rd year of moving into our flat, we also hit two pretty big milestones - 10 years in our relationship and him turning 40! These big adult things are enough to make anyone feel old and kind of … Continue reading An anniversary, a birthday and a short trip away
It's a habit, I know, and I should probably pick somewhere new* to go for a week getaway - especially since the cost of going is probably the same as leaving the country... but that didn't stop me and my boyfriend from going to Harrogate again for a winter break. I've blogged about this place … Continue reading December Getaway!
Last pictures from my recent trip to Harrogate. There's nothing I love more than wandering around the town. There are so many lovely looking streets and shops. Sure, there's a whole road filled with Italian restaurants and estate agents, which kind of ruins the quaintness of the place, but there's also some beautiful flower displays, … Continue reading Streets and Shops // Harrogate
You know I'm a sucker for Harrogate, right? I talk about it often enough, I think... Mostly because it's my dream place to live in the UK and, at some point, I'll be moving there [we're talking at least 5 years in the future but it's a goal]. Of course, I went again. We actually … Continue reading Into the gardens
I was recently playing around with my new camera and I found a load of old pictures from my trip to Croatia on a memory card. As I love looking at old pictures [I went in 2016, how crazy long ago is that?] and re-editing stuff I figured I'd share some new versions. I've been … Continue reading New Old Photos
What? Another post about Harrogate? Yes, I can't help it so... just hang in there! Different posts are on the way, guys! I think I have mentioned a fair few times how much I love the place; it really is like a second home to me. I feel comfortable there and people really enjoyed my … Continue reading Home away from home
Harrogate, in North Yorkshire, is one of my absolute favourite places to go. Me and my boyfriend go every year, splashing out on a cool apartment to stay in for a few days, just to wander around the town. To be honest, it's very similar to where we live but it's slightly more up market … Continue reading Valley Gardens
I feel like there should be more set tours available in the world. Not only have I had the pleasure of visiting the Harry Potter set this year but I've now had the experience I didn't even know was possible; touring the sets of everyone's favourite sitcom; Friends! Yes, this is a thing! FriendsFest is … Continue reading F.R.I.E.N.D.S – The set tour (A.k.a FriendsFest!)
I did it. I popped my AirBnB cherry. When I went to London, for my birthday [what's this? The previous post all about THE HARRY POTTER STUDIO TOUR?], my and my boyfriend decided to stay in an AirBnB apartment instead of trying to find a good, affordable, hotel in the area we wanted to stay. … Continue reading My first time using Airbnb!
This weekend I went to Anglesey, Wales, for a hen party weekend. The hen is one of my oldest friends - we've been buddies for 20 years. Guys... I'm old enough to have friends for 20 years plus. What? Whilst I won't share pictures of the lovely ladies who I have known for a … Continue reading Estuary Exploration // Anglesey
