Proving to my children that it’s safe to swim in

Proving to my children that it’s safe to swim in the river and the teeny tiny tiddler-sized fish have no interest whatsoever in eating humans...

Did you see the bloons over Bristol this morning?

Did you see the bloons over Bristol this morning? 43 took to the skies for the inaugural #fiestaflypast in place of the cancelled International Bristol Balloon Fiesta.⁣ They even took off in heart formation to spread extra love and cheer.
⁣
Alas, we missed them as we’re still up in the shire, BUT I’ve been thoroughly enjoying seeing all the piccies of them on @bristolballoon!⁣
⁣
Instead I thought I’d post a piccie from the Balloon Fiesta launch back in 2015, when I was lucky enough to fly in a balloon over the city thanks to @visitbristol. Safe to say it was one of my favourite days EVER. ⁣
⁣
Have you ever flown in a hot air balloon?

Holkham Beach was included in the @sundaytimestrav

Holkham Beach was included in the @sundaytimestravel 50 best British beaches last week. The list was slightly different this year, focusing on less obvious beaches and taking into account social distancing possibilities (so super popular Tenby etc didn’t make the list) among other criteria like waterfalls, caves and rock pools.
⁣
Holkham is daytrippable from my parent’s house near Stamford, Lincolnshire, and although a slow journey, was so worth the distance after months without seeing a beach. ⁣
⁣
There was tons of open space, a shallow lagoon for paddling, the sea water actually felt warm and in amongst the dunes it felt like we’d transported to tropical climes.

With places and sunshine like this in the UK, it more than makes up for not travelling abroad just yet! Are you braving travel or staying in the UK this year?

Back when I was a kiddo living in Oxfordshire our garden backed onto a corn field. Walking in this one in Lincolnshire sent me hurtling back to those steaming hot straw-scented days with the farmers out on their combines chopping and creating haystacks. It is truly one of the Great British summer smells!

One of the city’s most iconic sights, Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol is a must-see, must-’gram spectacle to behold. ⁣
⁣
Whatever angle you choose to peruse the magnificent Avon Gorge-spanning bridge – whether that be crossing the bridge itself, or gazing at it from ancient woodland – you’ll be treated to an unfailingly photogenic display.

So what are the best ways to see @brunelsbridge? I’ll tell you 10 of them in my latest blog - link in bio.
