Itadakizen

Itadakizen Shrewsbury

Itadakizen is a vegan restaurant in Shrewsbury. Luckily we thought of booking before visiting, as we wanted to visit for an early dinner just before heading back home. While we were having our dinner, only 1 small table was not previously booked and it was quickly filled. They had to turn down about 4-5 groups […]

Two Exhibitions in Liverpool

Two Exhibitions in Liverpool

At this moment there are two exhibitions in Liverpool, one in the Parish Church of Liverpool and another one at the Liverpool Hope University. I will only share 2 pictures from them, with many more photos being shared on my Instagram account. These two are similar, albeit smaller, to the one I talked about last […]

Vegan in Portsmouth

Vegan in Portsmouth is a round-up of the restaurants we’ve been to. I already blogged about Mangosteen, which deserved its own review because the staff was so lovely and we’ve been there twice. In this post there is a vegan restaurant while the rest are vegan options in places which also serve meat. Obviously, I […]

HMS M33

HMS M33 is the last ship I visited at the Porstmouth Historic Dockyard. This is only one of few British warships from WWI that is still open to the public. She was built in 1915, cheaply, as she was not supposed to last for a long time. HMS M33 saw 3 major conflicts, including the […]

Kew Gardens Hotel and Restaurant

Kew Gardens Hotel and Restaurant is a place where we spent a night, had dinner, and also breakfast. It was such a wonderful experience that I’ve decided to write a review for it. The location is great, near Kew, but in a place where the parking, if one can find a spot, is free for […]

Salisbury Cathedral

Salisbury Cathedral is worth visiting for two reasons. Firstly, it has a fascinating history. Secondly, it houses a copy of Magna Carta, which can be seen. I didn’t take pictures from outside because it was raining and there was a funeral. I share a lot of pictures from the church, including one with an elderly […]

HMS Warrior

HMS Warrior is the 3rd ship I visited during my trip to Portsmouth. First one I visited was the Tudor era Mary Rose, followed by early 19th century HMS Victory. This is, from a chronological perspective next, as it was a part of Queen Victoria’s Navy. This steam powered ship is also the very first […]

Hencote sign

Hencote Vineyard

My husband booked a wine tasting session at the Hencote Vineyard for 8 March, to celebrate Women’s Day. We stayed for lunch afterwards, so I am including pictures from our meal as well. We’ve had a wonderful time. The tasting session included 5 wines and lasted for about an hour and a half. Hencote is […]

HMS Victory

HMS Victory

HMS Victory in another ship transformed into a museum at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. HMS Victory is both an icon of British naval history and the oldest commissioned warship in the world still in one piece. The ship today is covered because there is a multi-million-pound project to conserve it for future generations. The scaffolding […]

Starter at Mangosteen, Portsmouth

Mangosteen, Portsmouth

Mangosteen is a lovely vegan restaurant in Portsmouth. Despite being very busy and the restaurant located a bit far from where we were staying, we’ve been there twice. Both times we went for a few starters to share and desserts. The restaurant is vegetarian, but the vegan dishes are clearly marked and there are plenty […]
