A Visit To Kings Landing #GameOfThrones
(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Season 8 of Game Of Thrones, so if you’re not all caught up, read further at your own peril. Again, spoilers spoilers spoilers) A couple of years ago, I shared two posts about visiting Dragonstone, the Targaryen island fortress from Game of Thrones. Of course, I didn’t really visitContinue reading “A Visit To Kings Landing #GameOfThrones”
Around The World and Back Again
Getting back into this blogging thing is easier said than done, I’m finding. And it probably hasn’t helped that I’ve been away for the past three weeks on the other side of the world. Apologies for being late getting back to comments, too! So, where have I been? Back to my husband’s native Australia, toContinue reading “Around The World and Back Again”

However, a few weeks ago I spent a weekend in Dorset with The Silent Eye, which I really wanted to write about, so here we are. It usually takes me a little while after such weekends forContinue reading “A Dorset Weekend With The Silent Eye – Part 1”
Maiden, Mother, Crone – Part 2 – Easter Aquhorthies
I realise that Wednesday is usually my day to wander. However, I’m also writing up my weekend with The Silent Eye. So, I’m combining the two and taking a wander to Easter Aquhorthies Stone Circle, near Inverurie, Scotland, for the second part of my experience.‘I must be insane,’ I thought to myself. I was standingContinue reading “Maiden, Mother, Crone – Part 2 – Easter Aquhorthies”
A Monday Meander – Dragonstone Part 2
As promised, this is the second part of my Game of Thrones location visit, this time to the spectacular San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, on the coast of Spain. San Juan de Gatzelugatxe is actually the name of the small hermitage located on the islet, a sanctuary dedicated to Saint John and dating back to theContinue reading “A Monday Meander – Dragonstone Part 2”
Unpacking
I’m back 🙂 Been back a few days now, not quite a week. The suitcases are up in the loft, and I’m gradually emerging from under the approximately 7923 emails and 278 loads of washing (it’s amazing how much a family can fit into three medium sized suitcases). It’s nice to be home, as itContinue reading “Unpacking”
A Weekend Jaunt
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll probably know that I spent this past weekend in Paris. A quick trip, leaving London early Saturday morning and arriving back (late) last night, I went with a close friend from Australia who arrived in England on Friday. And it was wonderful. Paris is one of my favouriteContinue reading “A Weekend Jaunt”
