One of the things I knew I wanted to do on my trip to the far north of Scotland was visit the most northern point in mainland UK.
I must admit, though, that I believed this to be at John O’Groats. I’d always heard the things about people travelling from Land’s End to John O’Groats, the two most extreme parts of […]
I don’t know about you but I love, love, love planning a trip. For me, there are few things better than sitting down with a fresh notebook, my laptop and getting into planning mode.
I love planning out all those little details that other people probably hate. Like transfers from the airport to the accommodation. Or checking if we’re staying within […]
What’s your favourite thing to do on a relaxing holiday? I know one of mine is lying by the pool or beach reading a really good book. I also love reading on the plane or any other form of transport, and sometimes before bed (if I haven’t had one too many cocktails by then!). Reading has always been one of […]
What’s been happening in July?
July has been SUCH a good month!
I started off the month at Archerfield House, enjoying a blissful weekend away with my family and, of course, my pooch Ben. It was a perfect, relaxing weekend that involved good food, even better company and a superb setting.
After that I was home for less than 24 hours unpacking and […]
My boyfriend Thomas and I bought our first house together last year.
I absolutely love our home. It’s spacious and it’s in a good area. We’ve got it decorated just how we want, we’re close to Glasgow and to our families and friends. It’s pretty much ideal for us at this stage in our lives. We love having our own space, […]
‘India,’ Wesley murmered, ‘it gets under your skin. Everywhere else seems dull by comparison.’
I recently read a book (The Tea Planter’s Daughter by Janet Macleod Trotter) that had the above quote in it. I couldn’t help but smile and found myself nodding along, agreeing. India definitely does get under your skin.
India has been on my mind a lot lately. As […]
It’s less than 4 weeks until I head to the gorgeous South of France and I cannot wait! Naturally, I’ve already started to think about what I’ll pack and wear and what I need to buy. Okay, I probably don’t *need* to buy anything, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to! After all, everyone in the south of France […]
I’ve had some great trips in Scotland recently and it has undoubtedly solidified my love for my home country. I was born here 27 years ago and have always lived here, but I love travelling here too.
I travelled right up to the north of the country two weeks ago and fell head over heels again. I was stunned by how […]
During my trip up to the north of Scotland the thing I was most excited about was driving the North Coast 500. Well, at least a little chunk of it!
If you don’t know what the North Coast 500 is then you are missing out. It’s a 516 mile scenic route that starts and ends at Inverness Castle. Whilst driving the […]
I have something exciting to share!
I’m pretty sure I discovered one of Scotland’s best beaches last week!
During my trip up north with ScotRail I stumbled upon one of the best beaches I’ve ever seen. Certainly the best beach in Scotland I’ve ever come across. There was glorious white sand, tumbling sand dunes, a gorgeous bay, stunning turquoise waters and some of […]
