Excellent week’s staycation in Deal as Uzbekista

Excellent week’s staycation in Deal as Uzbekistan postponed another year. A very different trip to that and the English weather hasn’t been the best, but Deal is a lovely coastal town that is also very foodie with lots of great restaurants and nice independent shops. There’s also plenty to explore on walks along the coast or a short drive away. Ticked all the boxes for me. A blog post will be coming soon! #deal #dealkent #kentcoast #englishcoast #staycation #weekoffwork #foodie #independentshops #walking #coastalwalks #castles #englishheritage #travel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelcocktail @miri.b20

Excellent walk along the white cliffs of Dover today though I got a Welcome to to France text from O2! Also Instagram seems to have deleted the option to post more than one photo in a post today so will add more in stories. #whitecliffsofdover #dover #kentcoast #englishchannel #staycation #weekoffwork #travel #travelblogger #travelphotography #travelcocktail

Great memories writing my blog post about lovely Lyme Regis which was the perfect staycation choice. Highlights include this gorgeous view from our apartment balcony and some fantastic restaurants and cafes that I wish were nearer to home. Lyme Regis is properly foodie. Click the link in my bio to find out more about my trip last autumn. Taken me a while to catch up on this one, but I have created a modern new design for the blog too so been busy! @thepopup.kitchen @toms_lymeregis @robinwyldedining @townmillbakery @theoysterandfishhouse #lymeregis #lymeregisbeach #dorset #jurassiccoast #staycation #staycationuk #foodie #foodietown #popuprestaurants #seaview #thecobb #travel #travelblogger #travelphotography #travelcocktail

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
