England
Ah England, our home country. As we live here, we will no doubt be filling this space with day trips, weekends away and loads of tips and tricks for travelling the country. We have of course been to SO many places here, especially in the South/South West where we live, but we rarely take the…

Australia
Back in 2018, Scott’s cousin and his girlfriend at the time, came over from Australia to visit his family in England where they got engaged. They said straight away that the wedding would likely be in either Australia or somewhere halfway, such as Thailand. Of course, Scott and I didn’t hesitate to confirm and so…
