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
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 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
Yes, to some [read: most] 'Holiday' means actually leaving the country. For me it just means getting away from the normal hustle and bustle [and the dog; sorry, Juno!] and the location doesn't have to involve passport control. Harrogate it actually one of my ultimate locations; it's in North Yorkshire so 2 hours on a … Continue reading Harrogate Holiday
It's been a while since I've been to Ireland and I've only ever been to Dublin once when I was a kid so going back was a blast from the past. I went with my sister and her husband to see Nashville in concert [aka the actors from Nashville singing songs from the show]. Manchester … Continue reading PHOTOSTREAM: DUBLIN
Yes, this is just over two weeks late but did I mention my computer died? Anywho, here are the pictures I've been hoarding! Hope you enjoyed the few I managed to upload. I have more but... did I mention my computer died? It's kinda impossible to upload the big files to this chrome book!! Sam … Continue reading PHOTOSTREAM // Dubrovnik
You may or may not have realised but I took a quick break from ALL social media and this lil' blog recently to go off on my friend, Megan's, hen do. We jetted off to Dubrovnik, in Croatia, where they film loads of stuff for Game of Thrones [geek alert!] and holy moly that place … Continue reading Visiting Dubrovnik [Croatia]
