I have been tinkering around more with my camera, especially since picking up some new lenses! My favorite thing to take pictures of tends to be flowers, getting close up to their pedals when it comes to the morning walk to school or when out and about. I also quite like taking pictures of food, but that’s likely because I just love cooking too. I’ve had a lot of fun taking more pictures of my family as well, which I’ve been featuring around our blog.
[Ad- gifted experience] We were delighted to be invited back to the Polka Theatre, especially as Robin loves this place so much! If you aren’t aware, they have a massive rom for younger kids, which has costumes, a reading corner, coloring, block building on a magnetic board and other toys to play around with. This time, due to the lovely weather, the outdoor play park was also open, however we were pretty busy on the day and didn’t stick around to play this time. We did, however, have a fantastic time watching Sam Wu is NOT afraid of Ghosts.

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.

[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.

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.
