Happy Monday lovelies 😊 After weeks of feeling

Happy Monday lovelies 😊 After weeks of feeling distinctly in the doldrums, part #covidlife and partly due to the epic disappointment about my house purchase falling through, plus not being able to visit family, Ive turned a corner and finally made progress by publishing some very overdue posts about Yorkshire on the blog. 😊😁There's an introduction to the historic town of Knaresborough and a visit (pre covid!) to the incredible Harrogate Turkish Baths. If you fancy something to read with your morning coffee, I'd love you to drop by. Link in bio 😊 Have a fabulous day. Here's a happy Bertie at Almscliffe Crag to make you smile x. #mondaymotivation #knaresborough #almscliffecrag #yorkshiresfinest #beautifulbritain #sprockerspaniel #yorkshire @travelphotocourse @visitengland #natgeotravelpics

What a difference a year makes! 12 months ago I visited Dorset and the @tankmuseum for the rather marvellous #tankfest2019. I was surprised by how interesting and exciting it was, and we cheerfully booked tickets for this year. Sadly, like so many other events, this year"s event is cancelled with our tickets rolled forward to next year. Teen boy is very disappointed, but understanding. We can't wait to return next year, and I've got plenty more glorious places in Dorset on my bucket list to see. 😊 Apart from a few little local trips this year, we won't be travelling I still think it's too risky. What about you? Are you planning to travel? Has your summer changed shape? What will you be doing with your holiday allowance? PS If you love military history the tank museum is a fab place to visit 😊. #visitdorset @visitdorsetofficial #travel #traveladventure #tanks #tankmuseum #bovingtontankmuseum #militaryhistory #thursdaythoughts #travelpassion #stayinglocal #staycation #openmyworld #neverstopexploring #neverstopexplore #storytellingphotography

Do you ever have one of those days when you just have to see the sea and taste salt in the air? 😊. Yesterday was one of those days - but I'd seen the media coverage of the horrendous crowds at Bournemouth beach in the week and knew I had to aim for somewhere smaller instead. 🏖️. I also wanted to photograph the sunrise 🌅 so that meant leaving home at 1 am (!!!) to be at the incredibly pretty little coastal town of Staithes on the rugged North Yorkshire for sunrise at 4.30 🌞. In the end, the sky was too overcast for any shots of the sunrise, but I had a marvellous morning watching little fishing boats set off for the day, and Bertie simply loved his first trip to the beach 😍😍 He was a very tired, smelly and happy dog! 🐾. Staithes is a lovely place to relax and unwind, and post COVID, we'll be back to enjoy a meal at the excellent Cod and Lobster! 😊 I hope you've had an awesome weekend - what have you been up to? #staithes #beach #fishingvillage #quaint #coastalvillages #yorkshire #yorkshirecoast #prettyplaces #historicalvillages #england #whereshewent #whereshegoes #travelfreedom #explorelocal #coastalvibes #cobbledstreets #beautifulplaces

Morning lovelies 😊This has to be one of the prettiest ice cream shops I've seen - tucked away in the gorgeous #valleygardens in Harrogate. It's a favourite place for walking, with something to see at every corner, rather like the town itself 😊. And I've finally published a post about Harrogate today - would love it if you would like to drop by and let me know what you think 😊 I do hope it might prompt some to think about a trip up North (when safe to do so etc) to explore this wonderful elegant spa town. I think it's Yorkshire's best kept secret, but I might be a tad biased 😁. #harrogatelife #harrogate #yorkshiresfinest #yorkshire #yorkshirebloggers #yorkshireblogger #bestofengland #prettyplaces #potd #littletown #beautifulplaces #spatown #travelblogger #livelovetravel #travelpassion

7 weeks into life with Bertie and blur weeks into

Yesterday, for the first time ever I went AWOL fro

Yesterday, for the first time ever I went AWOL from work! I woke up believing it was Sunday and took the teen boy and Bertie the sprocker for a long walk. It's been so cold and wet for a few days that we wanted fresh air and exercise, and we headed for the magnificent Coldstones Cut, just outside of Harrogate. An old quarry site, this is a real "away from it all" place that only the hardy venture to. Hidden high up on bleak moorland, its stark and yet fabulous, with some of the most incredible views of the surrounding Yorkshire Dales. In this photo, you can just see boy+dog heading along the path - it gives perspective E, to show how huge this place is. Just what we needed after months of being cooped up. But not on a working day 🙄. Can you imagine my face and my mortification when not one but two messages pinged through on my phone on the short drive home to ask where I was and was I OK? 😳. Luckily my boss laughed his head off and we agreed that this was one of the funnier aspects of lockdown madness 😂 I'm so fortunate to work for a great firm with amazing colleagues 😊. Has lockdown made you lose track of time too, or to do anything odd and out of character like this? #awol #notskiving #lockdownconfusion #lockdownmadness #harrogate #coldstonescut #architecturephotography #tuesdaythoughts #feelinggrateful #attitudeofgratitude💫 #grateful #countingmyblessings #goodvibes #wonderfulplaces #momentsofmine #brutalism
