Have I told you lately what a wonderful man I'm married to? Well he is and I'm a very lucky girl. This week my beloved treated me to two nights in a lovely hotel in Cardiff (in Wales), our first visit to the city. It's nice to get away even if it's just for a … Continue reading Enjoying Cardiff with my two favourite men.

Yesterday we went to the Horniman museum in south east London. It's another of those places that was started originally by an eccentric Victorian gentleman collecting things from around the world.There is a stuffed merman - unfortunately it was a bit dark so couldn't get a picture of it. It's a bit of a hoax … Continue reading The Horniman Museum

The last few days we've had Ken's oldest son Craig staying with us which is lovely. Today we went to Top Golf in Watford to see who would win at the driving range - Craig was harassing his dad by saying we were going to play OAP golf.As you can see the two of them … Continue reading A spot of golf anyone??

Recently we had Ken's youngest staying so we dragged him into London for one of our days out. It wasn't the best day weather wise, but that didn't stop us. We got the train to Marylebone and then walked to South Kensington via Hyde Park.We passed some interesting sculptures on the way - I love … Continue reading Nature & a plastic bottle man.

On Tuesday evening I dragged my poor husband along to a death cafe - I can hear your reaction from here.  Death cafes are part of a world wide movement to try and get people to be more comfortable talking about this taboo topic - that said the majority of the people there were pro … Continue reading Death and raw fish!

On Saturday we went to Highgate cemetery which is my favourite of the big seven cemeteries that we've visited. It's divided into the east and west sides, with the west side only being accessible on a guided tour. We've done the tour before so we just went for a wander round the east cemetery.Highgate was opened … Continue reading A visit to Highgate

During the week I was lucky enough to have a day off to spend some quality time with my beloved so I went with him whilst he walked the dogs. Before we started we had brunch at the lovely Harris and Hoole in Rickmansworth - we needed to make sure we had energy for the … Continue reading Dog Days

Not far from where we live is a Dogs Trust rehoming centre and on their website they said that they were in need of dog treats so we took a big bag of different treats for the pooches.Of course we had to … Continue reading ANZACS & dogs needing homes

Today we went into London without my trusty map and just wandered aimlessly, ducking down alley ways whenever we saw something interesting. We started at Waterloo station, and as it's so near headed to the south bank to have lunch. We'd wanted to try out Wahaca for a while so that's where we went.Wahaca is … Continue reading Lost in London

Whilst we were in Edinburgh we hopped on a train to Glasgow as one of the graveyards on my wishlist to visit was the necropolis.  This is a very atmospheric place, overlooking the city and containing most of the eminent Glaswegions of the 1800's.The first burial was in 1832 and the graveyard is interdenominational. There … Continue reading Glasgow Necropolis
