Postcards from Holt


Holt, Norfolk

I really enjoyed discovering lots of new places on our short break in Norfolk. We found quite a few gems whilst driving through the glorious countryside and at our destinations. One of these was Holt. Along with Brancaster I think this is a place that I could live (if I were to ever move to […]

Postcards from Wells-Next-The-Sea


Wells-Next-The-Sea, Norfolk

I’ve only visited Wells-Next-The-Sea once before and liked it straight away as it reminded me of Cornwall.   It is on the beautiful coast line of North Norfolk and is a complete contrast to Cromer, its neighbour, a short drive down the coast. Wells-Next-The-Sea is an area of outstanding natural beauty and I can certainly see why. […]

Review: The One Plus One by JoJo Moyes


Jo Jo Moyes - The One Plus One

It seems I can no longer read a book without thinking about the underlying message.  My second Jo Jo Moyes book was not quite as powerful as the first but I still very much enjoyed getting to know the characters and learning from them.  The One Plus One had been recommended in my bibliotherapy session with […]

Postcards from Cromer


Cromer Pier, Norfolk

In all the years I’ve been visiting Norfolk I’ve never been to Cromer.  So I took the opportunity to visit on our recent short break. It is clear that Cromer is more of a traditional type of seaside town, but it housed a few gems. We met with Katy, from Fabulous Food Finds, for lunch.  I […]

Creating My Bucket List


Packwood House, Warwickshire

I’ve heard quiet a few people this year talk about having a bucket list and until the other day I just had a list of things I would like to do.  The more I think about these the more I realise this is my Bucket List.  Everyone’s bucket list will be different from the extreme […]

Precious Moments


The capacity to measure time is one of the most important human achievements.  From clocks to calendars our being is governed by the passing of time.   As a child I remember the days, weeks, months and years seemed to go on forever, but as an adult I know how quickly time can pass. I […]

Upton House and Gardens, A Birds Eye View


I do like to explore and have new experiences, but sometimes going back to a place that you’ve enjoyed is just as joyful.  This is exactly how I felt last week when I made a return visit to Upton House and Gardens.  Situated in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside this elegant 1930s country house is one […]
