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”

On a trip to Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, you are bound to come across some top-notch restaurants. The daddy of these fine dining establishments is Prithvi Restaurant* and recently, we were invited to sample their new Autumn menu. Since our visit, it’s safe to say that we now understand why it’s rated so highly on Trip Advisor! Read more “Lunch with Prithvi Restaurant in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire”

Dave and I looked after Pepper, Dave’s parents’ dog, in September and it was such a success, that we have had her stay with us again recently!
