Cornwall 2014

Land of cream teas and pasties and yeah, I pretty much had to be rolled out of Cornwall. With guest appearances from the very much non-Cornish locations of Cheddar Gorge, Lyme Regis and Stonehenge.




Happy Solstice

I promised myself when I moved back to the UK that I’d treat it as a destination. I wouldn’t let reality suck me in and I’d see as much of the country as possible. I’d refuse to get stuck in a rut, routine would not control me, I would remain as free as a bird.…

Exploring Cheddar

It actually doesn’t take a shit tonne of time to get to Cheddar from Cornwall even when your sat nav is trying to kill you because you forgot to turn off the “no motorways” option. Oops. But a spot of tinkering and a minor nervous breakdown later and she was taking us on to all…
