As I’ve mentioned before, lockdown last year gave us the opportunity to look at our local area far more closely than we ever have before. Whether that’s been looking at footpaths from our front door, exploring local villages or looking at places that still aren’t far from us, but that we’ve never taken the time…Continue reading Exploring Farmoor Reservoir

We love to get out and about as much as possible, whether that be under our own steam or if we’ve been asked to review somewhere.

We are lucky to have a number of villages that really are within walking distance. Many that we’ve only ever driven through or past without taking any account of.

Favourite places to spot Bluebells across the country
This is a post I’ve been meaning to write for years, wrote it early last year and then Coronavirus hit and there was little point in publishing it in 2020! So here we are in 2021, the world is starting to open up a little, so I thought I’d share this post now. Remember social…Continue reading Favourite places to spot Bluebells across the country
