A 7 day itinerary that isn’t the North Coast 500. I can hardly believe it’s been over a year since we packed up a campervan and set off on an unforgettable adventure through Scotland. Exploring the rugged, untamed beauty of Scotland’s winding roads, towering mountains, and rocky harbours had long been a dream of mine, and in 2023, we finally made it happen—dog and all. Gwen, our beloved rescue pup, joined us for this epic journey, adding her own unique challenges and joys to the experience. Months of meticulous planning went into crafting our itinerary. I poured over maps, purchased lots of guides, compiled PDFs, scribbled notes, and bookmarked countless…

Eager to end my year in a meaningful way, I set my sights on not one but two cherished items on my bucket list. The allure of woodland cabin and the idea of an outdoor bath had beckoned to me for far too long. Determined to make 2023 the year of fulfillment, I decided to check these long-awaited experiences off my list. I settled on a dog-friendly cabin nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Shropshire…

This year to celebrate my birthday, I decided to spend it in and around the minster and market town of Southwell. There is quite a lot to do in the historic town of Southwell, often referred to as the jewel in Nottinghamshire’s crown. From cobbled stoned streets full of independent shops, to the twin pepperpot towers of Southwell Minister, and half pints of cider in atmospheric pubs, it’s truly worth a visit.
