History lover who loves to travel. Found climbing castles, reading, watching #ScandiNoir, walking or with friends and family. Based in #Southampton #Hampshire doing digital #marketing things. Still finding my feet here....
Apparently I have been a Google Guide for 9 years now, with 16,362,666 views of my reviews.

Am I an influencer now?! 🤔 :)

Feeling sick! I live in a 3 bed semi-detached house, with one adult daughter who is rarely at home. The house cannot have a water meter installed so @SouthernWater holds me hostage and has put my monthly bill up from £48.70 to an eye-watering £73.29 a month - let that sink in!!

Thanks Spotify...... Apparently I also have an 'angry' playlist according to daughter and I don't listen to Spotify enough!

My morning has not got off to a good start. I always, since my time at secondary school, start my day with a mug of black instant coffee! Today, I was sleepy, and distracted, and somehow managed to make a mug of coffee with two spoonfuls of instant coffee.... let's just say it was very unpleasant

Hello, we're the Mary Rose Museum!

If you're here for the events info, the historical banter or just to look at pretty pictures of Tudor objects recovered from the seabed, we hope you'll stick around!

A weekend back visiting my old uni stomping ground, with special friends, in Sussex, and a visit to Petworth House with my National Trust card.

Brighton has changed, but the King and Queen pub remains.... I'll be back again soon.

Had a fantastic time at @LightUpTrails last night at @HillierGardens

Not sure what my favourite part was, as so good.... loved the tree, the house and the reindeers, but the trails were beautiful too.

Went to see The @JerseyBoysUK at #TrafalgarTheatre yesterday. View from back of stalls and amazing!

Great little #Theatre and the singing was fantastic. If you like the Four Seasons and/or Franki Valli you'll enjoy this. Still running until January 2024.
