    MY 3 FAVOURITE UK CITIES (OUTSIDE OF YORKSHIRE)

    I’ve had the pleasure of exploring the UK a little more over recent years and sometimes I find a weekend on home turf just as exciting as jetting off across the pond. There’s something to be said for the amazing architecture, ever-growing brunch spots and museums that this country has to offer and it’s no wonder our very own capital has been named as the “Best City in the World” by TripAdvisor this year. But, aside from London Town, there are some absolute gems that I’ve loved visiting here in the UK – some of which I’ve decided to take multiple visits to as well.

    I thought I’d share some of my favourites to celebrate English Tourism Week 2019!

    THE COOKERY SCHOOL AT THE GRAND HOTEL, YORK

    This was a complimentary press event.

    Never did I think heading to a cookery class would be a bucket list activity, but getting closer to my 30th it seems that this is who I am now. Who’d have thought it? When I got the coveted invite to try a Cookery Course at the Grand Hotel, York before it’s opening back in March I literally jumped out my seat and tapped in to my phone to my husband – “do you want to learn how to cook the best steak ever?” Of course, when he replied back I immediately accepted the invite.

    Book a cookery course at the Cookery School, Grand Hotel York here!

    WHAT IS ASMR & HOW IT HAS HELPED ME

    This is something rather different from me today! One, because I normally focus on travel but, two, because this is all relatively new to me and people don’t seem to get it? But, I thought that if its helping me, it could potentially help others too and even if it was just one person then, my job here is done!

    I know I suffer from anxiety, I don’t need a doctor to tell me I do. Mental illnesses run in our family and know the feeling of my heart wanting to explode out of my chest, having days when I haven’t been able to eat a morsel of food due to worrying to the extremes of binge eating to try to ease my internal pains. I’ve always been able to just about carry on through life using calms and my own coping mechanisms to keep panic attacks at bay, which have happened. But, recently I’ve felt even more relaxed than normal and I feel like I owe a lot of that to ASMR.

    PRETTY PANCAKES AT THE WILD PLUM, HARROGATE

    Never has a place spoken to me on such a spiritual level. Okay, so that might be painfully over the top, however what I witnessed with both my taste buds and eyes at the Wild Plum would bring me closer to that truth. Having stalked the Wild Plum all over social media I had decided that it was time I’d get a piece of the pie pancake. With Mr C on a stag do, me and a girlfriend decided to make the short journey over to Harrogate to see what all the fuss was about….
