    Go Ape, Dalby Forest with SimplyHealthUK | QueenBeady

    ?????????????????????????????????????????

    If like me you like a good challenge, then Go Ape is definitely something you need to tackle one weekend. SimplyHealth UK got in touch with me to see if I was ready for that challenge. My immediate answer was of course a big, fat YES! Having been to Go Ape last July, James & I had already decided that we would be heading back again the following year because we enjoyed it so much. Only this time SimplyHealth UK wanted to provide me with a Fitbit Flex to track my activity on the day.

    Do you want to go to the Seaside? | QueenBeady

    fraisthorpe beach

    I’m not try’na sav that everybody wants to go. I fell in love at the seaside, the seaside.

    Oh, the Seaside. One of my favourite places to be. The sights of the blue ocean, the sounds of waves lapping against the shore and the seagulls squarking, to the smells of fish and chips and the real proper doughnuts you can get. There is nothing quite like it and wish I could be nearer to the coast (or alternatively another beach destination? I’m not fussy, Kefalonia, Italy, I’ll take it.) So when we took an impromptu trip to the Yorkshire Coast a couple of Saturday’s ago I was a giddy, little kipper.

    Dear readers,

    I hope my post(card) reaches you before I get back from #Jet2Sunchester. You know what the post is like when you are abroad. “Snail Mail” springs to mind. Well, I wanted to write to you to tell you all about the amazing time I had with Jet2Holidays this weekend island hopping from Majorca to Tenerife and finally to Malta. I’ve sent some fun photos too of the awesome time all me and my blogging friends got up to!

    The Great Victoria Hotel Bradford

    I was recently invited to visit and stay at the Great Victoria Hotel Bradford to review the hotel and what it has to offer. As Bradford is about 50 minutes to an hours drive away it isn’t a place that my husband & I would instantly think of visiting to go shopping (we have Leeds more or less on our doorstep) or to stay for the night (not close but not far enough to warrant it.) I was quite excited as I know the city has recently gone through a regeneration project and have seen fellow Yorkshire Bloggers singing it’s praises, plus it’s home to one of my favourite museums as a child, The National Media Museum.

    It was my husband’s final race of the season and we spent the weekend at Cadwell Park, Lincolnshire. It was a hoot as always, plus the spectators café was the best one we’ve been to so far. James assures me he loved the track and it was easy to see why with all the twists and turns, along with hills and dips galore. As a (long-suffering) race widow I need to make sure that at all times I’m wearing the cosiest attired – especially for the Winter meets. The ever old-faithful ASOS helped out because I’ve been dying for some bright white sneakers for some time. I love sharing these super casual, weekend wear looks on my blog too because they are so easy to achieve!
