Underground Golf is one of the adventures at Zip World, in Blaenau Ffestiniog. They have zip line and karts and a tour in an ex-army truck. Zip line is a big NO from me, but I might be inclined to do the tour in the army truck and the karts. It was raining, so we […]
Llanfair slate caverns are man-made caverns, close to Harlech, with stunning views of Cardigan Bay. It was raining when we visited, so no pictures, but the view was still beautiful. There is a lovely cafe and a well stocked gift shop. The slate caverns are free-flow and the entry fees are value for money. We […]
The Ffestiniog Railway is one of the most important steam railways in Wales. We decided to take our holiday in Wales because of it. It was on our to-do list for some time and now it was the perfect time for it. The Ffestiniog Railway is part of the UNESCO “Slate landscape of North Wales” […]
I tried Yume Tea when I visited Cream Dream in London. I loved the buckwheat tea and asked them if they sell the tea, but they didn’t. Meanwhile, the ones that are selling to Cream Dream have started their own business, selling buckwheat tea. You can get it from their website. I see that it’s […]
Juicy Marbles is a Plant-Based alternative to meat. Check their website for more details. I tried these for the first time when they were brought in by Waitrose for Valentine’s Day meal-deal. Well, they decided that selling out BEFORE the day was not enough to convince them to bring more and stock on the shelves, […]
I got Raspberry & Vodka Chocolate Thins from Fortnum & Mason for my husband. Initially I wanted to get them for Valentine’s Day, but ended up gifting them earlier. I love buying from Fortnum & Mason once in a while. Their teas are very good, so in the last years I got some as Christmas […]
UPDATE: Nikki told me about the controversy regarding the brand. I did a bit of research, as I was completely unaware of this, maybe because I’m not using FB. So, in 2021 the owner went to Moscow in holiday, shared a picture with her husband, and made a joke. Details here and here. From my […]
The Tudors: Passion, Power and Politics is a special exhibition at Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, still on for a week or so. I went to see it and loved it. I picked 15 pictures as highlights from the exhibition, some are just beautiful details from paintings because that was what I loved most about […]
A trip with the Steam Yacht Gondola is just splendid. It lasts for an hour and forty minutes and there is a guide who tells stories about local people, from poets and authors to the Romanian inventor who lived nearby during WWII to the man who broke the speed records more than once. I will […]
We stayed at the Hall Garth Hotel in Darlington, County Durham, for Kynren, the pageant I talked about earlier. Because this place is so beautiful and it surely is a destination in itself, I’ve decided to share a lot of pictures and only short descriptions, when needed. For me this hotel was fantastic and I […]
This blog is my personal diary, I will only write about brands and products I’ve used personally and are inline with my personal beliefs (e.g. no real fur). I am happy to receive PR samples or services, I also receive gifts at blogging events and sometimes I will blog about them.
I will disclose by mentioning in the post and/or by marking them with an asterisk (*) or c/o.
