Geronimo Festival; a fun day out for none of the family

I have never been to such a large scale event that has been so poorly organised. Lucky dip tents all over the place, no maps, no information, insane queues, safety issues, a stage you can’t see, events running late, and misery, everywhere.

Family Fun at RHS Harlow Carr, Harrogate (Despite the Easter Bunny)

Who doesn’t like an Easter hunt with a chocolate treat at the end? Well, just to warn you, it’s not exactly as sold…

Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway

In the Yorkshire Dales, there are olde worlde trains, travelling between olde worlde stations. It’s lovely. The station at Bolton Abbey is incredibly quaint, with tea rooms, a shop and old suitcases stacked everywhere. They even have a fireplace in the ticket room to keep out the cold in winter. We pitched up to take […]

The Oldest Sweet Shop in The World

We took a trip to Pateley Bridge for a bit of adventure, fresh air, and walk along the river… The drive over is beautiful. It takes you through Nidderdale, which is a stunning part of the Yorkshire Dales. Pateley Bridge itself is a gorgeous rural town; I’m hesitant to say quaint, as it can sound […]

Cafe Del Nord, Playas de Fornells, Menorca

You will be unsurprised to hear that when abroad my hunt for delicious food does not cease. If anything, it grows, especially when in somewhere like Menorca, where fresh fish is in abundance and the fruit and veg are plump, sun ripened, and bursting with flavour. The quality of fresh food is so much higher […]

Escape to Menorca

My blog is going European (temporarily). We flew off to Menorca again this summer, and it was incredible… It’s such a stunning island; sun, sea, food, gorgeous scenery, space, vibrant flowers and plants, and absolutely no boring tasks to complete. The flat looks out to the bay (Platges de Fornells), and we keep the patio […]

Aboard the Orient Express with Yorkshire Tea

I received a beautiful hand-stamped invitation from Yorkshire Tea asking me to join its team on an adventure aboard the Orient Express. There was no way that I was turning down such a treat – when else would I ever get to go on such a train? Besides, Yorkshire Tea has always been my favourite […]

Adel Dam Nature Reserve, Leeds

Last weekend we accidentally discovered Adel Dam Nature Reserve. It’s just behind Golden Acre Park, which we had gone to for a brief walk around the lake, to get some fresh air and crunch through some leaves. The bridged path at the far side of the lake being closed, we were redirected to the footpath […]

Menorca Time!

I just got back from a blissful week in Menorca. We’re really lucky as Mr M’s family has a flat out there, so we get to go quite often. All the buildings are desgined in the same style, and kind of spill down to the sea. It’s a beautiful place, and the bobbly style of […]
