When I first started thinking about what I was going to do for the letter Q in the blogging from A to Z challenge my mind went a bit blank (I know, nothing different there).  Then I realised that the answer was staring me in the face - when we're out and about we see … Continue reading Q is for Quirky

My blogging from A to Z challenge post for the letter P is about Pitlochry, a lovely little town in the Scottish Highlands that we stayed in at the weekend.  My beloved booked us a beautiful room at the gorgeous Craigmhor Lodge and Courtyard.  I felt really spoilt - this is the view from the … Continue reading P is for Pitlochry – a Scottish gem

Our names are Pamela and Ken and we have an obsession with cake.  That's right, we both have major sweet tooth's and indulge this when we're out and about on our days of fun.  Looking back over photos from the last few years and our blog posts, cakes feature an awful lot, so thought I'd … Continue reading O is for Obsession

In 2011 we finally visited a place I had dreamed of visiting for many years, and that was Holy Island off the Northumberland coast which is in the north east of England. I don't know when it entered my consciousness, I just know that for a very long time I've wanted to go there - … Continue reading H is for Holy Island – a dream come true

Now anyone who has read any of our blog posts in the past will know that I have a little bit of a fascination (or maybe I should say obsession) with graveyards.  They fascinate me as they are full of history and beautiful designs.
