To friendship -one thing this year has not been able to steal from us 🙂🥰 2 years ago today, this mad but marvellous woman and I stood on the Great Wall of China to celebrate her 50th birthday - a dream she had wanted for almost 25 years💥💐🍾. It was incredible, and the memories will live for ever. We're an unlikely pair of friends to many - she lives with my ex-husband(!) but shared experiences and children have built a real friendship that grows stronger every year. I'd love if if you would take a moment to check out our story of visiting the wall (and the toboggan ride down) on the blog (link in bio). Wishing @morineanstock a lovely birthday -we love you, you mad old bat 🥰 Here's to the next trip! #50thbirthday #bigbirthday #bucketlist #greatwallofchina #friendship #realfriends #realfriendship #travelgoals #china #happybirthday #travelmemories

Yesterday's beautiful sunset it a mere memory after today's ghastly weather, but swipe through to see the furry comedian who keeps me laughing (even though he shredded my doormat while I was on a conference call this afternoon!)

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 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

Some of the prettiest places are just a stone's throw away, hidden from view. A bit like the hidden gems I've discovered during the lockdown weeks, like slowing down, and reading what goes into my food choices, plus looking carefully at where it has come from. I'm making conscious choices more than ever before which include always saying no the products which contain palm oil, and choosing local produce over food with a lot of air miles. Baby steps, but ones I feel good about 😊❤️ Anyone else making similar choices and changes? And the pretty door? Tucked down a tiny street in the lovely North Yorkshire town of Knaresborough. Wishing you all the best start to next week 😊 #knaresborough #doorsofinstagram #igdoors #sundaythoughts #mysustainablelifechoices #sustainableliving #sustainablelife #Yorkshire #yorkshirelife #iamchanging #scenesofyorkshire #NorthYorkshire

Happy Thursday lovelies 😊 It's looking like another beautiful sunny day here in Yorkshire - I hope you'll get some sun too 😎. My dilemma today is whether to give in to the urge to whip out the scissors and have a go at my hair, which is doing a very good "wild woman of the woods" impression, or do I attempt to style it out until July when our hairdressers are open again🤣. I'm pretty sure the results would not be good, but the urge to deal with this overgrown fringe is strong 😂. How are you coping without the hairdresser? Is your hair behaving as badly as mine? #lockdown #lockdowndiaries #thingsimiss #needhaircut #needahaircut #thursdaythoughts #temptation #chopornot #fringe
