Tweet One of the places I was desperate to visit during our week in Italy was, of course, Venice. The City of Love, made up of over 100 small islands, separated by canals, and linked by bridges, is known the world over for romance, gondolas, masks, ice creams, and the original Harry’s Bar – the […]

Walking at Castle Crag – The Great Outdoors
Tweet I’ve just watched that video – the one that has, ironically, gone viral today, about how much we lose from our lives by being constantly attached to laptops, phones and tablets in the name of “social” media. And yes, blogging can be included in that too. We miss so much, and I am sure […]
Guest Blog Post: Walla Crag

Seaside fun
Tweet A glorious day at the seaside today, basking in the warm spring sunshine. Much fun was had burying each otherand building sandcastle. It was even hot enough for the more foolhardy amongst us (the children) to take a dip in the sea!
Blencathra (apparently)
Tweet Another glorious walk today, although the weather was more grey and murky, than the blazing sunshine we enjoyed last weekend. We took the boat across Derwentwater, and walked a couple of miles between High Brandlehow and Hawes End, stopping along the way for a picnic (which somehow managed to be in possibly the only […]
