A few years ago, I undertook the challenge of walking the Cotswold Way, a 104 mile cross country walk. This walk, was not for the faint hearted. A variety of different terrains and more hills than I care to recollect. Some so steep …

It’s been far too long since I’ve been near the sea (I LOVE to be near the sea) and I wanted to capture a photo, but the sun was setting fast and my camera battery had just died. I was in Boulogne …

I’m pleased to announce that Check Out That View, my travel photo linky, is now back after an unscheduled break! Unfortunately, due to personal reasons (which you can read more about on my family lifestyle blog), I had to take a break from this …
