Peak District Walks with Steve & Micahela

Image
What an absolute delight our holiday was.  Our cosy log cabin was nestled right amongst the beautiful trees in Darwin Forest - the perfect base for the week.         Our first walk led us on winding paths through Darwin Forest.  We meandered through the valleys and we loved being amongst the greenery and wildlife!     We took a wonderfully scenic walk to the outskirts of Castleton, one of the most beautiful villages in the Peak District.  We visited the Peaks museum and went down to the Speedwell Caverns. Once we were at the bottom, we were treated to a boat ride through the old lead mining tunnels - amazing!       We had a wonderful day at the stunning Chatsworth House and had heaps of fun at the Alice in Wonderland exhibition!   We took delight in the Christmas market and ambled around the stalls looking at the goods on offer.   We all egged Steve on to dress up! ...

London Theatre & Sightseeing with Phil & Netty

Our senses came to life on our wonderful holiday and wherever we went we were infused with excitement.  We all agreed that it really must be the best city in the world!   We stayed in an amazing hotel in Russell Square and were perfectly located to explore the city to its fullest extent!     We watched the AMAZING Charlie and The Chocolate Factory at the wonderful Drury Lane Theatre.  We were taken on Charlie's exciting journey and we watched in wonder at the astonishing special effects!     We were very touched by the sight of the poppies at The Tower of London and we were very moved.  What a sight it was looking down over the sea of poppies.           We had an exciting river cruise from Westminster to Greenwich and back again, taking in the impressive city sights all around us!  We marvelled at Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament and St Margaret's Church.  We had a f...

Watch out Blackpool...... ~ JollyDays are back in town! ~       And what a cracker it was!  We had a marvellous time taking in the sights and sounds of Blackpool.  Fresh walks along the promenade left us feeling invigorated and full of life!         We spent a fantastic morning in Madam Tussauds meeting all of our favourite stars and having our photos taken with them!  We saw One Direction, Cheryl Cole, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, the Royal Family, Bruce Forsyth, The Beatles, Keith Lemon and many many more! What fun!     We went up, up, up  in the lift to the top of the tower!  We braved the glass bottomed floor and looked riiiight down below us - what a long way down.....!           We sat and watched the dancers twirl around the beautiful dance floor, soaking up the music and wonderful atmosphere.  We had a thrill in the 3D cinema where we...
