  • MY TRAVEL ROUND UP OF 2018 | QUEENBEADY

    MY TRAVEL ROUND UP OF 2018 | QUEENBEADY

    TRAVEL ROUND UP OF 2018

    After packing up our bags, not to board a flight but to move home, a (teeny-teeny-teeny) part of me was kicking myself that I’d not indulged in as much travel as I’d have liked in 2018, it was purely down to the house move that we had to reign in any travelling on many, excessive holidays throughout the year. Instead we focussed on two, very extravagant trips abroad in the first half of the year before we bought the house, which I think has resulted in me feeling totally burnt out towards the back-end of this year. Once I sat down and listed out where we had travelled to and the fabulous press trips I’ve also been on around the UK I started to feel quite grateful that we’d be fortunate enough to fit what we did in and around our very stressful house move.

  • 5 “BEST OF BOTH” UK HOTELS WITH ACTION & RELAXATION | QUEENBEADY

    5 “BEST OF BOTH” UK HOTELS WITH ACTION & RELAXATION | QUEENBEADY

    I don’t know about you, but when I travel I need to have a mixture of both down time and activity that will keep me occupied for a weekend or week-long break. My style of travel often tends to be about slow adventuring which means we can take the adventure side of things at a nice steady pace but with the added luxury of a spa or good pool or hot tub nearby.

    Here are 5 “best of both” UK Hotels with action & relaxation

  • CREATING A COSY CHRISTMAS WITH METHLEY ESTATE | QUEENBEADY

    CREATING A COSY CHRISTMAS WITH METHLEY ESTATE | QUEENBEADY

    With no luxury, log cabin retreat to look forward to and get me in the festive spirit this December I’ve been doing certain things so I can keep the “C” word well and truly alive at home this year. Now we are (just about) settled in to our new home I’ve been super excited to “deck the halls” for our first Christmas here. I was kindly invited down to Methley Estate at the beginning of this month to pick out a real Christmas tree for our new home, which seemed like the perfect thing to do to get me in the Christmas mood! I’ve been on a mission creating a cosy Christmas with Methley Estate and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

  • THE “IT” RESTAURANT TO BE SEEN IN: THE IVY, LEEDS | QUEENBEADY

    THE “IT” RESTAURANT TO BE SEEN IN: THE IVY, LEEDS | QUEENBEADY

    Our meal was provided to us free of charge in exchange for an honest review. 

    This place is now the “IT” restaurant to be seen in. The Ivy Leeds. It’s has brought a slice of the famous London restaurant scene up here to the North and there’s plenty more popping up left, right and centre. It begs the question – is it loosing it’s exclusivity? But fear not, the moment you walk in to the restaurant you are met by warm hostesses to check you in and lead you through the closed-door in to a festival of colour and 1920’s elegance that is the décor of this place. If anything, this place is a feast on the eyes! We hoped the food would also follow suit.
