Nice To Meet You

28 year old teacher, girlfriend, and mum. I'm passionate about travel and the UK, so here I'll be bringing you inspiration for places to visit throughout Great Britain, including those that are dog and kid friendly. When I'm not travelling, I also write about keeping pets, home lifestyle, books, health, relationships, and employment.

This is the reason I'm so committed to having a he This is the reason I'm so committed to having a healthy mind. I was diagnosed with postpartum anxiety, but really, I've had anxiety for years. I'm very sensitive to stress. I suffer bouts of menstrual depression every month, and have done for as long as I can remember, but it's only since becoming a mum that I've become more aware, and more committed to managing it. Natural, running water, like Canonteign Falls, is one of the only things that never fails to calm me, or give me hope that it will get better. Find something that does the same for you, whether it's reading a book by the fire, a long bubble bath, a walk outside, or cuddling a dog. Wishing you a restful evening this #worldmentalhealthday
IT'S FRIDAY, FRIDAY!! Today is my last Friday on IT'S FRIDAY, FRIDAY!! Today is my last Friday on maternity leave... well technically it's next Friday but I'll be going into work for a couple of KIT days next week to get myself sorted and ready. Today should have been spent travelling back from the Lake District, but we decided to leave on a whim last night and drove 5 hours in the dark. Baby was asleep and we missed all the traffic πŸ™Œ, arriving home at 12.20am! Tonight, I'm going to do a workout, eat some ravioli, and I might have a little glass of wine. Really, I'd much rather be knocking back cocktails in London πŸ˜… What are you doing with your Friday?
Want to know how we manage to hike waterfall trail Want to know how we manage to hike waterfall trails with a baby? Swipe to see!! We were using a smaller fabric carrier but baby is outgrowing it so we had to look for an alternative. Similar carriers are in excess of Β£100, but we got lucky with this Aldi special buys one. It should have been Β£70 but it was on offer and we got it for much less. She's not a huge fan of it, but hopefully she'll accept the inevitable! Still prefer pushing her in the pram though. She's bloody heavy... that's why her dad does all the donkey work.
Would you ever guess this picture was taken throug Would you ever guess this picture was taken through a car window? Before I popped in to Dartmoor National Park, I wasn't all that bothered about it. I thought it was going to be an empty space, a few hills, and a pony. Was I wrong or what?! We drove through the middle of the park to see roaming cattle, sheep, and ponies. We passed gorgeous views across the moors. There were so many bridges crossing over little streams and rivers. We took a sneaky peek at Dartmoor Prison. We drove through beautiful little villages, one alive with stalls for a wedding fayre. It's a National Park for a reason! Can't wait to go back
What a view 🏞 Here's the first post about our What a view 🏞 Here's the first post about our mini break in Devon. We stayed in an apartment in Exeter which meant we were nearby shops and pubs, but also close enough to visit Dartmoor National Park. It's the first national park that we have taken the baby to, and what a way to start! We used a carrier to lug her up Canonteign Falls but got her out to get a better look from the top of the waterfall. I also didn't intend to dress her in a matching outfit, but we're just so in sync!
Autumn is definitely here πŸ‚ it was chilly this Autumn is definitely here πŸ‚ it was chilly this morning! At least the afternoons are still warm enough for us to get out and about, and the rain hasn't set in too much that we can still sit on the grass, just! Busy month with lots of adventures for out little family. There will be lots of new things for Chunks to see - Birdworld, sleepovers with Nanny, hiking, the Lake District. Back to work in 32 days 😬
What would you prefer? A house with a moat or a ho What would you prefer? A house with a moat or a house with a moat... I'm kidding, I'd imagine a moat would be far too much work to look after. My dream countryside house would be a gated property, a large, stone building, with four or five bedrooms, a period fireplace, hardwood floors, a large lawn, and a flower garden. Not far off Ightham Mote in Kent. Blimey. Not going to happen is it 🀣 What would your dream house look like?
Walking around the Italian Garden at Penhurst Plac Walking around the Italian Garden at Penhurst Place made me feel a little like I was back to my roots, or perhaps just as though I was on holiday... It's not common knowledge to people who don't know my surname, but I actually have Italian descent. I know, I don't look it at all 🀣 My paternal grandfather had Italian parents and some of their relatives moved over to Britain in the 19th century. The Euros loss wasn't any easier on me.
Hoping you all enjoy the last *really* hot day of Hoping you all enjoy the last *really* hot day of the year. This summer was the summer of the staycations (with both definitions of the word appropriate here) so I loved that we stumbled on a sandcastle with a little Union Flag stuck in! We visit at least one place in the UK every year because our country has some of the best holiday destinations in the world (in my opinion, anyway). Just because the summer is almost over doesn't mean holidaying is over, though. Autumn in the UK is stunning, and I can't wait to go on a couple of adventures this season.
