Our Travels
Fancy going through all of our past travels? You’ve come to the right place!
A weekend in Cambridge
Over the August Bank Holiday weekend in 2018, Wally and I decided to escape London for a few days and visit Cambridge. It is located around 60 miles north of London, and takes as little as 50 minutes by train from London Kings Cross. Cambridge is a university city- a...
A trip across the Pond… A few days in New York…Day Four
Day Four For our last day in New York, we had a more relaxing morning. We managed to find a pub in the financial district where we could leave our luggage, grab a quick bite, and then spent some time walking around the 9/11 memorial, before heading to Brooklyn.9/11...
A trip across the Pond…A few days in New York… Day Three
Day 3 Our third day was quite busy, but given it was our last full day we decided to make the most of what we hadn't yet seen. We started of with some bagels and lox (it had to be done!), and then made our way to the Morgan Library and museum, followed by the Whitney...
A trip across the Pond…A few days in New York… Day Two
Day 2 On our second day in New York, we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (or just the Met), then spent the rest of the day discovering New York by foot, taking it slightly more slowly than the previous day! The Met The Met was founded in 1870 and now presents...

In early January 2018, Wally had a work trip to Washington for a few days, and to make the most of the eight hour flight time, decided to extend the transatlantic trip and visit Philadelphia and New York. Feeling somewhat left out, I looked up flight times and...
Day trip to Wakehurst
If you've read some of our other blog posts- you'll know we like visiting various National Trust places and gardens. Buying annual membership was one of the first things we did as soon as lockdown restrictions were eased and we could travel again ( this is what...
A week’s trip to Crete
In early May 2018, we took a week's holiday and escaped the city of London for the idyllic Crete. To a little village called Sissi, to be precise. If you're yet to explore this wonderful island, we would most definitely recommend staying in a smaller, more traditional...
Warwickshire Staycation
In mid-August 2020, instead of our usual holiday abroad, we did a little staycation in Warwickshire. We hired a car for the trip and we managed to find a lovely little place to stay in a tiny village near Warwick and used this as our base to explore the area. We...
