When I sold my house I should have been sensible and invested the money I made in a property to rent. But you only live once so I decided to have some fun with it.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

I'm so sorry! I've fallen yet further behind so this post will cover the Wizarding World of Harry Potter which was 2 days ago!!  We got up early to get to Universal Studios Florida half an hour early as advised by the Unofficial Guide to Universal. We risked Uber and it worked out well, our...

Animal Kingdom – my favourite park so far!

WOW! Well I've found my happy place! As soon as I got to the entrance of Animal Kingdom the wealth of trees and greenery made me fall in love. It's definitely the park I have felt happiest in and that I have felt the most at home in.  Falling in love with Animal Kingdom Our...

The Magic Kingdom

Wow, we had to get up early this morning! Early admission to the Magic Kingdom was at *7am* so we were queuing for the bus at half 6. It was lovely seeing the day dawn, it really was a beautiful sky. And it was amazing to see the princess castle at last!! 😍 For today's...

Epcot!

Wow! My first day at Walt Disney World and wow! What an incredible place. Christy did an amazing job at organising Fastpasses so we were able to get up, pick up some breakfast (croissant, pain-au-chocolat, orange juice and a banana. The banana didn't get eaten...) then hit 4 rides by half 10 😱 For my...

A day at the races!

OMB, it was an early start this morning! Especially as my body thought it'd get in before my alarm and wake me up at half 7 😱 But it would all be worthwhile as we'd be heading to Cracker Barrel for a real, American breakfast. It fashions itself as an old-fashioned country store and decorates...

The inspiration behind my blog.

Meet Joy Henning. Or Joy Senior as she will always be to me. Joy is my oldest friend, literally she's about 100 😂😂😂 Oh OK, I just mean she's the friend I've known the longest in my life.  I remember Joy joining my class at the end of Year 7 (first year at secondary school,...

A tour of Kentucky.

So I seem to be running behind on my blog now I'm in Kentucky. Christy and I are doing far too much talking to fit in the time it takes to write a post everyday 😂 Yesterday I had a nice lie-in and sauntered into the living room at 10am-ish. We swapped presents then I...

Apologies.

So I should apologise for the lack of posts over the last day or so. It's been quite the horrendous 48 hours but after being finally reunited with my bags and a good night's sleep I'm finally a little calmer. I even have a cup of tea by my side so all is right with...

A busy last day in Pittsburgh

For the first time we actually set alarms to get us up and out of the house before midday 😂 Our first stop was Pier One. Oh. My. God. It was like bunny heaven!! We spent the first 10 minutes standing at the entrance of the shop oooing and ahhing over their Easter displays (20%...

Snow

Yes. Snow. I mean, seriously?? England is basking in warm spring days and we have snow. And it was FREEZING in the wind, like majorly cold. So we postponed our trip to the beautiful Falling Water and headed into the city instead. Although not until maybe 2pm cos we had a lot of talking to...
