July 20, 2020 by Zoe Dawes No Comments
Morecambe Bay on the west coast of Lancashire is a treasure trove of unsung sights that delight all the senses. I’ve lived here over 20 years and am still discovering new places to visit. It’s less-known than its neighbours the Lake District World Heritage Site and Yorkshire, so you’re able...

Sunset by the pool at Aghios Stephanos, Corfu

October 13, 2019 by Zoe Dawes 3 Comments
The sunset is luminously peaceful, the water of the pool reflecting the umbrellas, sunloungers, tables and chairs now empty as guests get ready for dinner. But they are missing one of nature’s most beautiful shows, as the sun sinks slowly behind the dusky islands outlined across the sea, which is...

FINDING HAPPINESS under an olive tree beside ancient ruins at Talati de Dalt, Menorca

August 25, 2019 by Zoe Dawes 5 Comments
A slight breeze ruffles the silvery-grey olive leaves. A bird calls high above. In the distance a goat bleats and the sun beats down onto a scene unchanged for hundreds of years. A giant T-shaped stone stands in the middle of a circled stone wall, another T-stone leans tipsily against...

Fish Festival fun and other things to do at Milford Waterfront, Pembrokeshire

The giant lobster towered over me, its huge red claws wafting in the breeze. A man in a top hat waved to the people gathered round, then trundled off with his cart, pulling his inflatable crustacean through the crowds. I was at Milford Waterfront Fish Festival, in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire...

Around Morecambe Bay: Piel Island off the Cumbria Coast #followpye

July 17, 2019 by Zoe Dawes 3 Comments
Stepping on to Piel Island is to take a trip back in time in the most unexpected way. This tiny speck off the coast of Barrow-in-Furness in south Cumbria, is a microcosm of all that is special about Morecambe Bay. It’s got ancient history, abundant bird-life, friendly people, great views...

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!)

The views across the Bay towards the Lake District fells is one of the best in the area. Just good to get out and leave behind all the miserable news; nature’s a great panacea!!

The town looked so sad with hardly anything open, very few visitors and Christmas lights filtered through the gloom of the #Covid19 pandemic ... Yet this feisty, brash grande dame of seaside resorts will bounce back next year and we’ll once more be able to enjoy her #kissmequick #Lancashire enticements 🥳💋😎
