The moment we reached Baslow in the Peak District, we started questioning why we had never been to this area of the U.K. before; it really is the most beautiful place. So beautiful that we’re going again this Summer as we just didn’t have time to see everything we wanted. Baslow itself (where we were … Continue reading The Peak District 🇬🇧
Our first staycation of the year was to the Peak District; somewhere in the U.K. we had never been before and somewhere we will definitely return to.

I am constantly looking … Continue reading Cottage Inspo, Peak District 🇬🇧

The minute I arrived in Bordeaux, I fell in love. It's so beautiful; a wonderful mix of old and new, small enough to walk to most places, it feels safe and everyone seemed friendly and welcoming.
