Rainy day activities
Today is a proper rainy day. We’ve watched the match, eaten pain au chocolates warmed and stayed firmly under blankets. I had big plans to get out today on a long walk. I don’t mind rainy weather; I firmly believe there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes. But, my body is telling […]

Six of the best dog friendly stays in the Lake District
With the thought of travel outside of the UK looking less and less likely with each week and the ‘green travel list’ having zero new additions, staycations and UK breaks are the way to go this year. And where better to visit for a truly British week (or weekend) away than the Lake District! It’s such a wonderful part of the country to […]

The Coniston Inn, Lake District review
Last week we spent half term up in the Lake District in Coniston. It was the break we needed and this was our second stay at The Coniston Inn. It’s a dog friendly B&B with a pub attached. This meant we didn’t need to get back into the car till we left as we had […]

Owning a French Bulldog – what you should expect

Why Ageing Doesn’t Phase Me
I honestly can’t believe I’m 32 already. The two years since my thirtieth birthday has flown over and I’m now firmly in the early 30s camp and it’s so true what they say – all your cares and worries shift once you leave your twenties and you realign your priorities. Body confidence – all of […]
