Nice idea to create a wellness walk at Polesdon Lacey. At each viewpoint you can stop and read an inspiring quote or extract of poetry under the door of a wooden plaque. Perfect activity for my week off work to recharge mind and body. #wellnesswalk #polesdenlacey #nationaltrust #walking #views #landscape #countryside #surrey #recharge #wellbeing #weekoffwork #quotations #poetry

Brightened up lockdown with a fabulous 5 course takeaway tasting menu from @numberninetyseven last night. This is the amuse bouche and the full menu is in my stories. It was all so well put together with written instructions and videos on Instagram, so it was very easy to finish off at home. What a treat! #takeaway #tastingmenu #lockdown #lockdownlife #lockdown2021 #dinner #saturdaynight #homedining #cocktails #manhattan #ginmartini @miri.b20

Didn’t get too close to this guy, but was lovely to go walking in Bushy Park today. This lockdown feels harder than the November one with no definite end date and some horrible weather. But at least I can walk from home to places like this when the rain stops #bushypark #deer #bushyparkwildlife #royalparks #hamptoncourt #walking #lockdown #lockdown3 #lockdownlife #sundaywalks

Going to miss this view! A holiday in Lyme Regis wasn’t the original plan for 2020, but it’s been really fab. Amazing views from our apartment, excellent places to eat and drink, lovely seafront, great independent shops and very handy for walks on the Jurassic coast. Highly recommended for a staycation. #lymeregis #dorset #jurassiccoast #seaside #harbour #walking #staycation #ukvacay #travel2020 #travel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelcocktail
