In the week we have begun to see high street businesses opening up again we can start to look ahead in excited anticipation of our favourites restaurants, coffee shops and pubs opening their doors again in the not too distant future. Very soon it will be business as usual for all of Dorset. As a […]
Dorset Diaries; Lulworth Castle
I recently had the chance to indulge my inner Duchess with a day out in beautiful Dorset at Lulworth Castle. Nestled along the dramatic Jurassic coast on the Lulworth Estate sits this impressive 17th century castle. Expansive manicured grounds and views out to the ocean are the stuff of dreams. It’s easy to lose a […]
Health Kinesiology; Can it Cure My Fear of Flying?
Aspiring blogger and globetrotter. That’s my strap line. If you have ever taken a peek at my Instagram, Twitter feed, Pinterest or even my blog, you will have read this comment. It’s true, I would love to blog for my supper and travel the world. Ironically though, and I’m not sure if I have ever […]
Spring Picnic at the Beach
The days are officially longer with the happy arrival of lighter, brighter evenings. The temperature is sneaking into the low to mid teens and there is the definite promise of spring, dare I even say summer, in the air. At this time of year we are all chomping at the bit to get ourselves out […]
Grab a “Pizza” the action at Rossopomodoro
If you’re longing for the sun drenched coast of Italy in these cold winter months you could always raid your piggy bank and head for the amalfi coast. But for the more budget restricted amongst us, we can grab a slice of Naples right here in good old Blighty. Rossopomodro is a delightful pizza chain […]
Dreamy Dalloway; Afternoon Tea at Dalloway Terrace London
Continuing our 36 hour adventure in London we booked ourselves into the dreamy Dalloway Terrace for afternoon tea. It was my birthday and I had seen on Instagram that Dalloway Terrace had been turned into a winter wonderland and so I couldn’t wait to take a look in person. We first visited Dalloway Terrace last year for […]
36 Hours in London; Where to Eat, Sleep and shop
Happy New Year. My first post of 2017 and I thought I’d share with you my recent trip to the big smoke. Here’s how I spent my 36 hours in London including where we ate, slept and my favourite shops. Although it was such a short trip we did manage to cram in a lot. […]
Bath Christmas Market A Very British Festive Treat
On a rather cold Sunday in early December we decided to pay a visit to the historic Roman city of Bath. Being just an hours drive from us we often venture to this very civilised slice of Somerset but were drawn on this particular weekend by the annual Bath Christmas Market. The award winning Bath Christmas […]
Golden Autumn Beach Breakfast
The Autumn has so far been golden and glorious. We decided to make the most of a particularly lovely Sunday and head to the ocean for a golden autumn beach breakfast. Dorset is awash with glorious spots to have a nibble; breakfast, brunch lunch or dinner. Take your pick! We donned our warmest Sowesters and Seasalt coats […]
The Pig on the Beach; A seaside culinary delight
The Pig on the beach in Studland Dorset, is just one of a group of outstanding culinary hotels here in the South of England. They generally refer to themselves as a “restaurant with rooms” as the culinary experience comes before everything else. That being said the accommodation is more then outstanding. From cosy shepherds huts to […]
