There are many places in the UK I would love to visit, but unfortunately, I’ve not yet had a chance.  I have only just passed my driving test and I still don’t have a car.  I’ve always had to rely on trains, which sometimes isn’t just inconvenient, it’s also very expensive!  That’s why I have […]

                        Last Saturday myself and my sister decided on a bit of a whim to go to Kew Palace and Garden’s winter offering, #KewChristmas.  Kew Palace is the only Royal Historic Palace I haven’t visited yet and was waiting for summer to come round […]

As you might remember from my long time no see post, on my birthday weekend I went to Cawthorne to visit Cannon Hall Farm and Cannon Hall Museum.  We got up early and headed towards the Farm first of all. I hadn’t been to this farm since I was a child so I was presently surprised […]
