Our Travels
Fancy going through all of our past travels? You’ve come to the right place!
Visiting Corfe Castle and Old Harry Rocks
On the second day of our trip to Dorset, we drove to Corfe Castle and then to Studland to see Old Harry Rocks and the surrounding countryside and coast. By chance, we realised that our route to Corfe castle would take us past the Cerne Giant, so we decided to stop by...
A day in Wells: Wells Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace
Perhaps most famous as being the filming spot for the Hot Fuzz film, Wells is a not a very big city and is in fact England's smallest city. The city is very walkable, with a number of tourist attractions- most notably the Cathedral, but also the Bishop's Palace and...
Visiting Stonehenge
We visited Stonehenge as part of our trip to Dorset, and for this particular part of our trip, we've put together a separate post as there is quite a lot to see and quite a few photos we'd like to share from our trip to Stonehenge...Stonehenge with the Slaughter Stone...
A trip to Moscow
In 2019, we took advantage of the August bank holiday to spent an extra long weekend in Moscow. This was far from my first visit, but was Wally's first visit in well over a decade, so in hindsight perhaps we should have stayed for longer... Although as with any...

A long weekend in Gascogne, Toulouse and surroundings
In late June/early July 2019, just when a heatwave hit London, we left the capital for a friend's wedding in Toulouse. Little did we know that it was even hotter in France! In total, we were there for three days- the first was the wedding itself, and the rest of the...
A few days in Prague on holiday
In 2018, we took a few days of work and escaped to Prague for some sightseeing, some Christmas markets and Christmas shopping! This was our first trip to Prague, and after this trip- most certainly not the last. For those that are trying to work out or plan their next...
A week in Paris
In September 2018 we were invited to a friend's wedding just outside Paris. Instead of just going for the weekend, we decided to make a longer trip of it, and visit this wonderful city for a week. We were incredibly lucky with the weather as well, it was very warm and...
