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...

Soul Food: Best Ever Pumpkin Soup Recipe

October 31, 2019 by Zoe Dawes 3 Comments
Of all the seasons, Autumn is my favourite, with its vibrant colours, last days of heat and hint of winter. It’s a great time to go Leaf-Peeping as the Americans call admiring autumnal foliage, and of course we have Hallowe’en and Bonfire Night to look forward to. Hallowe’en is synonymous...

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...

Sunset at Sirindhorn Wararam Phu Prao Temple  – NE Thailand Mind, Body, Spirit Travel? Sounds a bit fancy-schmancy doesn’t it? Do you mean you go all over the place namastaying, sitting in the lotus position and eating mung beans? Well, no, it most definitely doesn’t. Though I’m more than happy...

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...

Full Circle Retreats: Meditate with Horses and Creative Writing in the Lake District

July 1, 2019 by Zoe Dawes 7 Comments
The soft whiffle of horse’s breath ruffles my hair but I don’t open my eyes. I’m too relaxed, too chilled, too blissed-out to do more than vaguely register that a 3/4 ton Clydesdale horse is towering over me, his gentle, protective energy calming and soothing. I’m on a Full Circle...

Enjoying the last days of #autumn. Easy to see why Enjoying the last days of #autumn. Easy to see why it’s called #fall in USA and other places … After the recent stormy weather everywhere here in SW Scotland is covered in rich tapestry of crimson, scarlet, russet, yellow, orange, auburn, green and many other autumnal leaf shades 🍁🍃🍂

Lobster pots and fishing gear at the harbour on Ea Lobster pots and fishing gear at the harbour on Easedale Island where the ferry departs for Luing. Great views out to that island (famous for its eponymous cattle) and towards Mull. Spent a lovely day exploring the ‘Slate Isles’ in Western #Scotland.
