November Roundup

November always means Bonfire night, a fantastic fireworks display in the city centre. Festus is not bothered at all by all the noises. Even on the 4th, on the evening walk he couldn’t be bothered despite all the fireworks around him, he didn’t flinch. The neighbours though have a German Shepherd who spent the night […]

Bath

Bath

After my visit to Bath and Bristol I have so many things I want to blog about that I’ve decided to make a quick round-up post with some pictures from Bath and only to write about the places I liked best. Even so, there are quite a few places I liked a lot. As I […]

Visiting UK

Visiting UK

Last year I’ve made a post about 100 places I’ve been to, in the 6 years since I moved to UK. I thought I should make this a annually post, to see how many new places I’ve been to. This year I have 22 new flags on the map, most of these new flags are […]

Detail of wall at Red Lodge Museum

Red Lodge Museum

Red Lodge Museum is one of the free museums in Bristol I’ve been to recently. It’s a gorgeous house with quite unusual features, so I would say is worth visiting it. It was a family home, upgraded over the years, as most old houses are. You can check for more details on their website. How […]

Advent Calendar

Advent Calendar

Last year I talked about my advent calendar, in Make Your Own advent calendar. My husband and I enjoyed it so much that this year we are going to make it again. The experience of last year means that this year will be better, more in line with what works for us. This is the […]

Fashion Museum Bath

Fashion Museum Bath was a place I wanted to visit for a long time. I’ve been reading about Bath in my regency romance novels for years (since I was a teenager), so is not surprisingly Bath was high on my list of places to see. Fashion Museum and the Assembly Rooms are in the same […]

Castle Combe

Castle Combe

Castle Combe is a lovely village in southern England. I can’t remember where I saw some pictures, but I remembered the place, so I was keen to visit it on our holiday. I was expecting to have a short walk around the village, but we ended up staying for a few hours. There were many […]

Clifton Suspension Bridge

Clifton Suspension Bridge

I knew that on my visit to Bristol, Clifton Suspension Bridge was one of the places I wanted to see. After watching quite a few of TV shows about Brunel, I knew I had to add it on my to-visit list. Because we’ve visited in November, we didn’t get the chance to get a free […]

The Shipwreck Museum & Heritage Centre

The Shipwreck Museum & Heritage Centre

You might wonder what can you see at The Shipwreck Museum? My husband and I did too, this is why we’ve decided to visit it. The one we went to is in Cornwall, in Charlestown. Charlestown is a lovely village, that is also the place where Poldark is filmed. Sadly I’ve lost some pictures, and […]

Levant Mine and Beam Engine

Levant Mine and Beam Engine

Levant Mine and Beam Engine is a filming location for Poldark. So for any Poldark fan visiting Cornwall, this is a must see. The mine doubles as Tressiders Rolling Mill in Poldark. Besides, the place is so interesting. It is part of Cornwall and West Devon Mining World Heritage Site. Also, it is the only […]
