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.
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.
We all want to travel the world (well, most of us!) and it seems that every time I log on to Instagram some bikini clad person is strutting around some amazing beach whilst it pours it down with rain here in the UK. Queue a cake-ridden binge fest to drown my sorrows. One, they look amazing in said bikini and two, I’m not there. As mentioned in previous posts I was once a travel agent for 8 years so know a few tricks of the trade to make sure you are getting the most for your money. Luckily we make roughly 3 trips abroad a year, with a few UK breaks thrown in too & I want to share with you how we plan for our travel plans cost effectively!
It’s time for one of those chatty little posts where I really ramble. A bit of “word vomit” if you may. So grab a cuppa like me and get settled. It’s been a while since I sat down & thought “Wow, my life is pretty sweet.” It’s a sorry state of affairs when you start to forget to appreciate the good things in life and quite simply it can really wear you down. I’m notoriously terrible in January and February. I think there is a little bit of Seasonal Affective Disorder in us all. When the dark night’s start appearing you still have Halloween, Bonfire Night & Christmas to look forward to. Once January hits it’s a little bit gloomy for me. But now, now I’ve had my holiday to Madeira and the nights are getting lighter I feel a million times better.
I have so many memories to share with you from our trip to Madeira but first I want to share 5 reasons why you should travel to Madeira! I won this fabulous trip at icelolly.com #BlogAtTheBeach event last year and it is something I am truly thankful for. The holiday came at a time where my body just needed that break and it was time to soak up some sunshine and spend some quality R’n’R with my husband too. Whilst some say the island is the Blue Rinse capital I didn’t mind rubbing shoulders with the OAPs because Madeira had so much more to offer….
