Enjoying life, sharing challenges, fun in the outdoors and exploring beautiful Britain.
Another week where Sunday Sevens is published on a Monday, I was away over the weekend volunteering with the National Trust and last night was all about laundry and getting ready for the week ahead. It's been a good week, with one sad event, here's how my week's been. We were very sorry to lose …
This Saturday, 18th February, was set as "photo an hour" day for February. This was a fairly ordinary Saturday for us, we didn't have anything planned. Here's how my day went. 8am: my day started with coffee while watching the birds in the garden. We're drinking a blend pack from Pact Coffee at the moment, …
This is more Monday Sevens as I didn't manage to get the post done yesterday, but here's a little glimpse into life over the past week. I was lucky to have my parents staying last weekend, having breakfast with them on Monday morning was a lovely way to start my week before heading into work. …
For our "F" alphabet date it had to be Falconry. We both love birds of prey and have been on birds of prey handling experiences before. Now, strictly this was not falconry, as we were not hunting with the birds of prey, but it was at a Falconry centre and we met falcons, so I …
Last weekend was grey and damp, not conducive to time spent outside, or so it seemed from inside! Once we got out and walking however, we warmed up and enjoyed our walk. We headed for Virginia Water, part of the Royal Landscape of Windsor Great Park. Under the leaden skies there were pops of colour, …
Our J date was a weeknight date at home on Valentine's Day and involved a lot of delicious sushi. For our alphabet date J was for Japanese! And we didn't just eat sushi. We also had Japanese soft drinks and beer. The beer was a white beer, refreshing and tasty. I love the owl on …
It's been a grey, cold week. The air, heavy with damp, seeps up sleeves and down collars, cold chilling you to the bone, red fingers, running noses. Snow floats from leaden sky, shadows gently tumbling, momentary spots of white against dark asphalt before they melt away, too wet to stick, sleety and miserable. My least …
It doesn't feel anything at all like Spring today, huge snowflakes drift to the ground from a leaden sky, too wet to stick, just cold and damp. Last weekend was a different story. It felt like we were on the cusp of Spring, ready for a new season to burst into life. We visited a …
Last year ended up being a year of glamping! We love travelling around the UK, getting to know the country better and staying in interesting and quirky places. We had six glamping mini breaks, in Shepherd's Huts, a yurt and even a potting shed. Here's a taste of where we stayed: Vanellus at Elmley National …
Way back at the end of July, we took place in an Art in Nature event to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Campaign for National Parks. I wrote this post back then, but never published it, so here's a little throwback to Summer 2016- enjoy! This weekend marked the 80th birthday of the Campaign …
