Haynes Motor Museum – Somerset 2019 (1)

Posted on 20/05/201908/10/2021 by Kay

This year, instead of heading out of the UK, we visited Somerset. There were a few places we had talked about wanting to visit, and having limited time off work; it seemed the perfect choice to have a break away, on a bit of a budget. On our way up to Somerset, we decided to stop at Haynes Motor Museum.

We booked a B&B in the village on Montacute; and headed up on the Friday, to return on Sunday. Filling three days with about as much activity as we could!

The Lost Gardens of Heligan – Has Spring Sprung?

Posted on 25/02/201912/01/2021 by Kay

This last weekend has been beautiful, with sunny skies and temperatures bordering on (dare I say it?) warm! We decided it was the perfect time to visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan!

In comparison this time last year; we were facing the Beast From the East, and hiding away from the cold and snow!

The National Maritime Museum – Cornwall

Posted on 29/01/201909/01/2021 by Kay

It has been quite a miserable, wet January; and so when we were looking for places to visit, we decided to go somewhere indoors; to the National Maritime Museum!

Cornwall have a lot of indoor attractions; it’s worth checking out what is available wherever you’re staying if you’re in the area; and the weather isn’t at its best. You can also check out this article from Dolphin Holidays, which features a little quote from me too!

A Day Out To: NT Trerice

Posted on 05/10/201822/11/2020 by Kay

A whole new month has begun, and of course we’ve been busy visiting! In this post I’m sharing our visit to the lovely Trerice!

At the end of September, we had to get in a few visits so I will still have monthly content for you; as many places close for renovations and refurbishment over the winter months.

Also our National Trust membership runs out in January so we wanted to see as much as possible. It’s been AMAZING to explore so many places!

A Day Out To Blue Reef Aquarium

Posted on 18/07/201805/11/2020 by Kay

Recently when family were visiting; we visited Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay. We’d headed into Newquay for some shopping, and a visit to the beach; and the aquarium was a really fun addition to the day!

There were five of us in total; and we had a voucher for some money off too; which you can pick up in a lot of Cornwall visitors guides. These are widely available in the summer; and come with lots of vouchers for money off attractions all over Cornwall; which is great if you’re visiting or resident alike!

Posted on 06/07/201805/11/2020 by Kay

It’s what we have come to call Car Show Season! I thought I’d share a little about the shows we go to this summer, and what we see! Starting with our first show of the year: West Cornwall Motor Show!

When you are in a relationship with a self confessed petrol-head; cars are a part of everyday life! This in my case means various automotive days out, and some I’ve come to really enjoy! Car show season, is basically July and August down here, and there are some great shows around Cornwall which I’ve come to look forward to every year!
