Before I look towards this years adventures, I thought I’d do a little roundup of last year. We definitely didn’t get out or away as much as we wanted to, but we squeezed in a few tips anyway.
We started the year off with a visit to a favourite local place, Yorkshire Sculpture Park to see the poppy installation they temporarily brought there. It was a cold grey day, but we still managed a good walk around to see what sculptures were currently put up.CONTINUE READING

Day Tripping :: Harewood House Part 1
I don’t know how it is that I’ve never written about Harewood house but I’ve been a few times and it’s one of my favourites, not just for the plush interiors but for the pretty grounds and secret garden. As usual, I took way too many photos so part 1 will be just about the house and I’ll leave the gardens for part 2. We took a little day trip to just outside Leeds to visit Harewood when Emma came to visit. Having people over is the perfect excuse to revisit old favourites. CONTINUE READING
Staying Overnight at Peckforton Castle
Don’t all best laid plans start with researching how it’s possible to stay overnight in a castle? They do when your as castle obsessed as I am. We wanted a little getaway weekend, not too expensive, not too far away. I’m always looking on deal sites and one I never really looked to closely at as most of the holidays didn’t actually seem very “deal” like was Secret Escapes. This was where I found an amazing deal last year though to go stay overnight in a castle, with dinner and breakfast buffet included. Let’s face it though, I was sold at STAY IN A CASTLE.CONTINUE READING
Adventures In :: England – Clovelly Village
We made our way to Clovelly Village through winding narrow countryside roads and giving way to tractors. It took us almost an hour to make a 20 mile journey! When you’re in the Devon/Cornish countryside though, you don’t tend to mind as much as it’s quite pretty. After paying our entrance fee (more about this later) we entered Clovelly Village and from then on I don’t think I stopped snapping photos. Its. So. Pretty.CONTINUE READING
Adventures In :: Copenhagen – Rosenborg Castle
Copenhagen surprised me, again and again. With not knowing what to expect, I was rewarded with interesting architecture, colourful buildings, everything within walking distance, and a castle in a park right near the city centre. I’d never heard of Rosenborg Castle, and if we didn’t stumble upon the royal palace we might not have visited. I’m so glad we had time to go because it was one of my favourite things we did.CONTINUE READING
