Dave & I bought our first house last year and because of this – especially the saving that needed to done beforehand – we skipped having a holiday abroad. Instead, we took some delightful mini-breaks to Cornwall, Devon and Wales. This year, however, we made sure we could fit in a city break away and booked a long weekend in Marseille, France.

For as long as I can remember, I have had a keen interest in photography and a camera on hand. I went from a film compact during childhood to a digital compact in my late teens and am now the proud owner of a Canon EOS 70D DSLR. My friends and family would be the first to tell you that I am always taking photos of everything and anything! But despite being an enthusiast, I have never actually been on a course. Instead, I have learnt manual controls through my own research and practice. So when my boyfriend and family bought me a Going Digital voucher for my birthday last year, I was excited to book a workshop.

In the past year, my other half has gotten me more in to drinking and actually enjoying beer. So when there was an opportunity to take a tour around the Hillside Brewery in Gloucestershire, I jumped at the chance. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing on dates – I’m sure Paul was sick of me by the end! – we settled on 18th November and it soon came upon us. Read more “Hillside Brewery Tour, Gloucestershire”

Have you ever heard of Weston-Super-Mare’s Carnival? I hadn’t. But after some of my family went last year and came back raving about it, I know I’d have to go to the next one. Fast forward a year and I’m very glad that I tagged along! Read more “Weston-Super-Mare Carnival, Somerset”
