The Great British Holiday Tour

June 7, 2013 by Guest Author 7 Comments
The staycation is now the trendy way to unwind over the summer; why head abroad when the UK has so much to offer? The growing trend for ‘glamping‘ and staycations have even attracted celebrities to the scene, including pop star Mark Owen and model Nell McAndrew. Touring with Towergate gave four...

Magical afternoon walking from Dallam Tower throug Magical afternoon walking from Dallam Tower through the deer park, beside River Bela, through woods, across fields and out to the shore near Sandside. Great views across the the #LakeDistrict mountains covered in snow. Love this part of south Cumbria 🥾🤗🥾

This magnificent Yew Tree has been growing in the This magnificent Yew Tree has been growing in the woods on Warton Crag in north #Lancashire for hundreds of years. It’s surrounded by bright green moss-covered stones that look like sleeping gnomes ... Walked up here this week along muddy paths above flooded fields on the one sunny afternoon we’ve had recently. I love the feeling of ageless calm that permeates our ancient woodlands ...

From today’s #dailywalk at Half Moon Bay in Heys From today’s #dailywalk at Half Moon Bay in Heysham overlooking #Morecambe Bay 🤗 This sculpture is called ‘The Ship’ by artist Anna Gillespie @annagillespiesculpture 👍 It was commissioned by @mb_partnership and ‘celebrates Morecambe Bay's landscape and maritime heritage, and reflects the importance of seaborne trade in bringing news, innovation and shaping the character of the area.

‘Symbolically positioned on the boundary between land and sea, benefitting from dramatic backdrops of the tides, horizon and stunning coastal sunsets, the outline of a ship's hull is mounted with two opposing figures at each end, one facing 'the new' of Heysham Nuclear Power Station and the other facing 'the old' of the ancient monument of St Patrick's Chapel.’ 

I love its powerful symmetry and stark beauty.  I sat on the stone bench between the figures and gazed out towards the Lake District fells. It was peaceful, reassuring and somehow gave a sense of hope amidst all the grim news ❤️

We’re also realising the importance of travel experiences in Mind, Body AND Spirit 🤗 Canada is a glorious country that has a strong spiritual vibe - here are some of my favourite experiences from some of my trips with @explorecanada over past few years >>> https://www.thequirkytraveller.com/canada-mind-body-spirit-experiences/ 🇨🇦🐻🍁🙏🏻

Big shout-out to Anne, Joanne and Service Team at Big shout-out to Anne, Joanne and Service Team at @pyeford (Morecambe) for bringing my car battery back to life! It’s very common problem at the moment. I called #FordAssist who sent #AA Jake who gave battery big charge so I could drive it to #Morecambe. They tested it and put it on boost charge for a while. I’d not been driving enough in #lockdown 🙄 so they suggested regular running engine on drive just to keep battery going. Very impressed with social-distancing & #covid19 protectionism the Showroom👍 

Proud to be Ambassador for this Ford UK dealership 🤗 l love my Quirkymobile!

Recently took a short drive from my house for a wa Recently took a short drive from my house for a walk at Caton Moor Wind Farm - spectacular views across Morecambe Bay, the Lake District fells and Yorkshire moors. With new #Covid19 restrictions in place I’m very lucky having a plethora (love that word!!!) of lovely places to exercise locally. So important to get outdoors for mental and emotional #wellbeing as well as physical exercise 🥾❄️🤗

(The Quirkymobile is coping VERY well in this winter cold!)
