Otley

Otley is a lovely market town in Yorkshire. We went there for a meeting and spent a few hours in the city, seeing some of the landmarks. The Black Bull is located in the Market Square. As the description, visible in the picture below says, this was the gathering place for Cromwell’s Army before the […]

Lawnmower Museum

Lawnmower Museum was on my list of things to see for a while. I didn’t visit it because it’s close and falls into the “we can go anytime to see it”, meaning we didn’t actually do that. Until this round of Heritage Open Days. We booked a tour and it was fab. I bought a […]

Monkey World

I have decided to share the pictures from Monkey World today, as I also published the review for the book written by one of the co-founders of the sanctuary – Jeremy & Amy by Jeremy Keelings. I loved the book, so do read it if you like memoirs. I think she is Amy, from the […]

Osborne House

Visiting Osborne House was the main reason I wanted to go to the Isle of Wight. It was a fantastic day and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. I am sharing pictures as I took them and not in the obvious visiting route: house – garden – cottage and museum – beach. We’ve started our visit […]

Carisbrooke Castle

Carisbrooke Castle is one of few places managed by English Heritage on the Isle of Wight. I went there without knowing more about it. This was very fortunate, because the place is both beautiful and very important from a historical perspective. Looking for details for this post, I checked their website again and saw that […]

Butterfly World, Isle of Wight

We did not plan to visit the Butterfly World on the Isle of Wight, but it was a rainy day and it seemed like a good stop. I’m happy we went there because this place is just gorgeous. Enjoy the many pictures from it.

Isle of Wight

Views on the Isle of Wight is a picture heavy post, as expected, without too many details. I already blogged about Model Village Godshill, so check that post for more details and lots of pictures. I will post separately about Carisbrooke Castle and Osborne House, most likely next month. Another post will be about the […]

Volya in Sounthampton

We’ve only been in Sounthampton for a few hours, so I don’t have much to share besides the pictures. We didn’t visit anything, just had breakfast and walked around until it was time for our ferry towards the Isle of Wight.

Model Village Godshill

Model Village Godshill is on the Isle of Wight, a tourist attraction which is so worth visiting. The model village is a replica of the village, so it’s fascinating to look at the main street and then to see it reproduced in the village. They even have a model of the model village, how lovely […]

Lulworth Cove

Lulworth Cove is a cove on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. It is privately owned, but visitors can visit for free. Parking is quite expensive, but overall it is worth going there. We didn’t have time to spend all day, so we missed the cafe, shop, and restaurant. By the looks of it, I can […]
