"Take a rain coat" was the advice that many people gave us when we told them we were going to the Peak District. I had taken a look at the forecast and no rain was expected, but we thought it was better to be safe than sorry. They never got unpacked! We had lovely weather.… Continue reading The Peak District- Day 2 (Three Shires Head)

Born and brought up in Kenya and a keen traveler. Changed ideas of a profession multiple times (as one does), and half way through university had my mind made up. Moved across the world to Australia at 19 for a year, before moving to South Africa for 3 years. When I have the time, I enter short story competitions, and I sign up for any courses that will develop my skills even further. Avid camper and photographer.
The Peak District- Day 1
Borris came through and as of 12th April 2021 we are able to travel around England and stay the night. Whilst hotels are still a 'no-no', self catered accommodation is allowed and so Mike and I jumped on this opportunity. Two of the things that Covid has taught us is not to take anything for… Continue reading The Peak District- Day 1
Toft Nook
I like to write accurate reviews. My intention is not to 'name and shame' or oversell. It's to be accurate to help other travellers like ourselves. I base all of our stays off what other people have said. And, as with most places, there are pros and cons. Accommodation Pros: There was no problem with… Continue reading Toft Nook
The Dead Mole

I have no green fingers, but I do like having a grassy garden and… Continue reading The Dead Mole
The definition of feline love
Apparently it's a sign of love, or that we are terrible hunters, that cat's feel the need to bring us presents. I suppose that it could be that they want to play- but seeing as this happens after a play session I do question that possibility. My cats know the routine. Around 8pm they both… Continue reading The definition of feline love
A brief update
2019 ended on a wonderful note and and definitely not how I expected the year to end. In October of last year, Mike and I went to America. We began our holiday in Kansas City, Missouri with his mum, step dad and sister. We had a great time! Lots of sights to see, wine tasting,… Continue reading A brief update
Amboseli Getaway: Tortilis Camp
After weeks of talking about it, we finally set out on our road trip. With bacon butties packed and ready, coffee made and sunrise slowly showing itself on the Nairobi-Mombasa highway, there were two very excited people sitting next to each other. Our first trip away together. Both of our firsts to Amboseli. The drive… Continue reading Amboseli Getaway: Tortilis Camp
Let’s Taco About a Party
I am one of those annoying people that love their birthday. Dec 2018 was no different. I decided to do a make-your-own taco party for two main reasons: I could organise and prepare before hand so I wasn't going to be stuck in the kitchen all night and could actually enjoy my party It caters… Continue reading Let’s Taco About a Party
