A Weekend Away at The Lakes Hotel and Spa

A Weekend Away at The Lakes Hotel and Spa

Posted on by Jupiter

It was our 5 year anniversary, so we went to The Lakes Hotel and Spa for three days to celebrate. We actually went to this hotel last year, for our 4 year anniversary, and really fell in love with not only the area of England that we were in but also the quality of this hotel. The Lakes Hotel is fancy, and when I say fancy I do mean really fancy. On arrival, when getting to the gate, they know your name and ask about your travels. When you get in to the building, you are given a welcome glass of prosecco and a tour of the place, before your concierge takes all of your bags upstairs and shows you your room.

Birds: Brilliant and Bizarre at the Natural History Museum

Birds: Brilliant and Bizarre at the Natural History Museum

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Both Dann and I absolutely love exploring new places and new features within places we have visited before. It’s been a while since we’ve been to the Natural History Museum so we were delighted to be invited back to see the Birds: Brilliant and Bizarre exhibition. This is a ticketed exhibition within the free museum, allowing you to learn more about birds throughout history and how the future might affect them. As someone who grew up in a place where we didn’t learn about dinosaurs, this was a very interesting exhibition.

A Day Out at Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) Glasgow

A Day Out at Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) Glasgow

While exploring Scotland, spending one day in each city, I wanted to check out a local cultural place each day! On my third and final day, I went to the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Glasgow. This art gallery was a decent size and easy to explore in a day. Unlike some of the other galleries and museums I had visited in Scotland, this one did not focus on just Scottish art. This gallery is split into for different galleries, a library, a cafe and a little gift shop, all packed in one really beautiful looking building.

A Day Out at MCM Comic Con London

A Day Out at MCM Comic Con London

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to days out in London, Dann and I really both enjoy gaming events. As we both work in games, we’ve been to our fair share of gaming showcases, comicons, events and the like. MCM Comic Con London aims to be a family event for all ages, full of geek culture. We were delighted at being invited back once again and took a much slower time exploring the venue. MCM Comic Con London is absolutely massive – expanding across two halls at the Excel, full of different stands, cosplay, interactive bits and so much more.

A Day Out to The McManus – Dundee’s Art Gallery and Museum

Posted on by Jupiter

While in Dundee, I went to The McManus – an art gallery and museum with a big focus on Dundee throughout history. There are a total of eight galleries within this museum, that explore both the history of Dundee and the art that has been created there. This museum was originally built as a memorial to Prince Albert, but over the years has been added to and changed.
