WALKING IN THE HAMPSHIRE BLUEBELLS
Bluebell season is my favourite season! There is no getting away from just how magical the forest floors across England look for a few weeks each spring, littered with bluebells. A purple haze of delight. I’ve become a little obsessed by it since we moved to a bluebell hotspot. And on our doorstep…

Spring was slow (late) arriving this year… But when it finally did it was spectacular. The 20 degree temperature rise inside 4 weeks was a bit of a surprise but there were no complaints once the snow and rain finally departed! March March so often dawns with the smell of spring. Not this…
View PostSpring walk: the Purbeck coast
It had been far too long since my last visit to the Purbeck coast in Dorset! Perhaps 1996-ish for my Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s award… Which was also the time I route-planned us along an electricity pylon rather than a bridleway! The Easter weekend gave us the chance to go and explore and we…

View PostWhere to in 2015?
Strangely for us, we haven’t made many plans for 2015 yet. 2014 was an epic year of travel – 39 flights including visits with Mr P to UAE, Dubai, Venice, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Cornwall, Sardinia, Greece and Vienna…. We’ve no plans to keep up that pace this year, but we still have 12…
