🇬🇧 Enjoying all the bucket list treats that Kent has to offer!

👑 Starting with the jewel in the crown - Canterbury’s incredible Cathedral!

🤩 I’m actually working with @visitcanterbury to promote this superb corner of England, and girl does it feel good to be back doing what I love!

🌞 To be fair, it’s not too hard to promote a UNESCO heritage gem like this on a day with weather like today!

🎒 Bring on the U.K. staycation summer I say…

Even when Cornwall isn’t sunny it’s still bloo

Even when Cornwall isn’t sunny it’s still bloody great!

Hiking and beaching and generally getting amongst the coastal beauty here is absolutely one of my bucket list things to do in the U.K.

And thanks to covid, I’ve got to tick a few others off this UK bucket list in the last 15 months!

Check out my complete list of the 50 must-do things in the U.K. here…

https://www.bigworldsmallpockets.com/things-to-do-in-the-uk/

I’ll soon be double-jabbed, which means I am able to head to many countries in Europe without having to quarantine when I get back to London.

Trying to work out if I can be bothered however!
To be honest, the chilled vibes of U.K. travelling at the moment have me pretty happy 💫

Cornwall, it’s great to finally meet you!
🇬🇧 🏖 🌞

Was meant to go camping. Cancelled because of the weather. ☔️

Went to Cambridge instead. So did everyone it seemed. Very crowded!
Realised even though I’m based in London now, having lots of people around is a rare thing these days.

So I decided to escape to Ely. Turns out that was the best decision. 👏

A historic riverside town, with all the cuteness you’d expect from a slice of the countryside, it was just what I needed.

Big cathedral, historic homes (Oliver Cromwell’s to be exact) and some trad pubs…. all in a good day’s staycation I’d say! 🇬🇧

Plus the train was only £12.40 for an open day return from London! Winning. 🚂

Hope the weather brightens up soon though. I’m off to Cornwall next week. Got any tips about places I should go near Padstow? 🏖

Posted this cracker on my stories from Rye yesterd

Posted this cracker on my stories from Rye yesterday and lots of you responded with joy to the silliness.
So I thought, why not bring some silliness to the feed?!

There used to be a lot around more here - guess covid has made me more sensible and boring - but enough I say, enough!
(Although swipe to see the sensible pic, as well as a vid, and tell me which you prefer!)

And on that note, can I point out that staycationing in the U.K. doesn’t have to be sensible and boring either, which this spontaneous overnight trip to Rye proved!

If you’ve been following my Stories you’ll know that a snap decision in London, a quick backpack stuff (no wheelie for me thanks) and a quick train ticket later and I was off to the countryside and the coast.

Perfectly sandwiched between the 2, Rye offers historic charm by the bucket load, great food, cute pubs, crumbly quaintness and loads of great hikes in the Sussex countryside, including down to the beautiful and huge stretch of Camber Sands - one of the UK’s top beaches.

Battle and Hastings are just up the road too (I visited both last summer and loved them as well), so if you’re in for a budget day trip, or weekender, this area known as 1066 country could be just the chestnut for you.

Got to make the most of this summer folks, silliness and all…

Always a good day when you spot a puffin! Just sa

Always a good day when you spot a puffin!

Just sad we don’t have a puffin emoji yet.

But good old Yorkshire comes up trumps again!

Happy to say I’m definitely a U.K. travel convert. Absolutely loving these staycation vibes!

There’s a reason I always come up to Yorkshire a

There’s a reason I always come up to Yorkshire at least once a year - it’s bloomin’ gorgeous!

Yes the county where I was a student and where good friends still live, is always a firm favourite when I travel in the U.K. thanks to its amazing natural scenery, great cities and wonderful history.

And even though I’ve been here many times, I still haven’t seen it all!

Indeed this week in Yorkshire has proved that once again, as I’ve been to a stack of new spots - and all to the backdrop of June sunshine!

Thank you, yes I will get my shorts on!

Tune into my Stories to see all the new places I’ve found this week, including the gem that is Bolton Abbey!

Pay just £10 to park and enjoy the day lying by and swimming in the river, walking in the woods and wandering around the incredible ruined Abbey!

The perfect Wednesday I’d say!

Thank goodness the sun has arrived back in England

Thank goodness the sun has arrived back in England!

I spent most of my time in Suffolk trying not to get blown away!

Here I am at Sutton Hoo - an ancient Saxon burial ground made famous in the Netflix film The Dig.

Great film and a fascinating @nationaltrust site with a wonderful story behind it.

Def worth a watch and a visit...

Now the English staycation continues in the sun... hoorah!

🇬🇧 White Cliffs of Dover?
Don’t mind if I do!

🇫🇷 Did you know it’s just 27 nautical miles to France from this spot too?
So close and yet so far!
