Life's about experiences. These are mine.
Having said that nothing much gets started at the fringe in the mornings we had found a play that was on at 11am called Alabama God Damn and so had booked for that today. This was another in a small space with only three principal actors and one musician. This didn’t stop them having a …
The Fringe doesn’t really get going until the afternoon and so we were left with a morning to fill. We fancied being outside so we decided to go to Carlton Hill. When we have been in previous years it has been a lovely place for some quiet contemplation and great views over the city. Not …
Having come to Edinburgh three years ago for the fringe festival and loved the experience we knew we would be back. So we were excited to be returning again this year. That said it turns out that things seem much less exciting at 5am in the morning when you’re woken by the alarm! While I …
Warning – if you have a phobia of balloons then this post is not for you. It contains a lot of them! I have a “bucket list” of places I wish to visit and experiences that I would like to, well, experience. This includes the big ticket items, such as visiting Machu Picchu, to the likes …
While visiting friends over the weekend they took us to somewhere that I have to admit that I’d never even heard of – The Sculpture Park near Churt in Surrey. It turned out to be a hidden gem. As the name suggests the Sculpture Park is home to several hundred works of art which are set …

We eschewed the delights of a Premier Inn breakfast and instead chose to hit the road early and make our way from Kent to Surrey and the RHS gardens at Wisley. We are recent members of the RHS having been wowed by a previous visit to the Chelsea Flower Show. If any of this is …

Last Friday we once again set off for Regent’s Park and the ZSL London Zoo for their annual Zoo Nights event (neé Sunset Safari, which I think is a much superior name). This is becoming a regular event for us having been both in 2015 and 2016. I’m sure that there are those who would say that …
