Milford Haven and West Angle Bay
This weekend is our last weekend away as a family of four before Corrie goes off to New Zealand. We’ve decided to go away to Wales for the weekend and are staying in Burton near Pembroke Dock. Continue reading
River Walk and Lunch in Ware
Last weekend I went on a day trip to Hertfordshire to meet up with an old university housemate of mine. In my second year I stayed in a house of 8 in the middle of Cheltenham. I’m terrible at keeping in touch with people but have tried to get back in touch with a few in the last few months. Continue reading
A Walk In Newark Park
Newark Park, set in the hills looking down on the Severn Valley, is an old Tudor hunting lodge dating back to the 1500s which has been extended several times.

It was actually quite a nice drive; We went cross-country – getting on the motorway only to use the M48 Severn Bridge crossing. Continue reading
Hailes Abbey

Coastal Walk from Land’s End to Porthcurno
A few weeks ago, I came up with the idea of walking around the coastal path of Britain. I can’t remember how I came up with the idea – possibly the book I read set in Cornwall over Christmas – but after telling Corrie about my idea, we decided we’d start it this weekend. Continue reading
Blenheim Palace Festive Lights Show
Just after New Year I took Corrie and Jody to Blenheim Palace and enjoyed a lovely festive lights display. A great way to beat the January blues and enjoy the last moments of the Christmas season before returning to work on January 4th! Continue reading
