I just got back from a weekend in Margate and Broadstairs with a few friends. We were there for about 2 days and it felt so far away from normal life – I loved it. If you haven’t been, I think now is a great time to go. Of course, summer is the peak season…
Camber Sands Beach: Beach Day Trip from London and a Nautical Outfit
Who would have thought I could claim I went to the beach over the weekend at work on Monday morning living in London? One of my friends came up with this fantastic plan of spending a day at the beach and I couldn’t think of a better way to start August. So on Saturday, we…
London Day Trip: Cycling in Canterbury, Whitstable and Herne Bay
Remember all those amazing travel resolutions I made back in January? So thus cycling trip was an effort at following through on those. A colleague told me how he went cycling in Kent for a day. It sounded really fun so I made him send me his itinerary so we could take a cycling trip…

I am definitely going to post about our Lake District trip in detail but wanted to do a quick post on Kirkby Lonsdale as well. Although technically Kirkby Lonsdale is a village in Cumbria its nearer to the Peak District. Its pretty much right in the middle of both the peak district and the lake…
Hitchin Lavender Fields: Photo Diary of our Anniversary Picnic
I actually wanted to go and see some sunflower fields this year since I had already been to lavender fields a few years back. As soon as lockdown was lifted and we were allowed to leave the home, I booked tickets to the Hitchin lavender fields so we could celebrate our anniversary with a picnic…
