I was very eager to go to Lyme Regis as this is the “birthplace” of fossil hunting. It was one of those places we postponed, until now. On our day trip to Lyme Regis we had delicious food, including vegan ice cream, Volya came with us and behaved very well, and we found a fossil […]
Cerne Giant and White Horse sounds like a fairytale. There are 2 attractions in southern England – Cerne Giant and Osmington White Horse, a short drive from each other. I saw both yesterday, so I am sharing pictures today. Cerne Giant is about 1,000 years old, possibly older – Viking, and the White Horse in […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
Today I am talking about Brontë Parsonage Museum. I visited the museum recently because I saw that Kelly (this is her blog) started reading one of the books written by a Brontë sister. Kelly will review the book in the next few days, so do check her blog if you are curious. I’ve been to […]
Mary Rose is one of 4 ships we saw in our trip to Portsmouth. Mary Rose is in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, which houses 9 museums, including a few ships. Mary Rose takes about 2-3 hours to visit, which is a longer time than the others because of how many artefacts are in the museum. […]
Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery is a free museum and it is a wonderful place to see for anyone visiting the city. I picked a few highlights from the museum, including representations of a few rooms, from early modern to the 20th century. Those do not need any explanations. Enjoy. The museum starts with their […]
Lancaster Castle is owned by the Duke of Lancaster, who is also His Majesty the King. I imagine my readers already know this, but I thought it was a funny way to start this post. I’ve been to this castle twice. It is a wonderful place to visit and the guided tour, available every 30 […]
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.
