TRAVEL TO: Ireland

St. Patrick's Day is coming up and as its Ireland's cultural celebration so I thought this blog post would fit in. Not only in Ireland is St. Patrick's Day highly celebrated but elsewhere like New York people go out and have huge parties - don't know why but why not end up having a great day! I can imagine all those pints of Guinness being poured in all the Irish bars amongst the local craic in that charming accent that everyone seems to love!

When you think about it there's loads to love about Ireland and I'm talking about those stereotypical things. True or not one day I hope to go to Ireland and find out what it is really like for myself.

 The Giant Causeway is top of the list when visiting.

It is an area of around 40,000 interlocking columns resulting from an ancient volcanic eruption. The whole of the Causeway coast in Northern Ireland has lots to do along the coast with it's get scenery walking along and seeing the valleys. There are also loads of castles/churches to see there plus Ireland also has loads of farm lands - gotta get those potatoes.

Valleys, farm lands etc.. is always so different for me (including when I went to Somerset in the west of England which you can read and see more here) because as I'm from London, I'm definitely a city person so it's so weird for me not to just see tall buildings everywhere with the sound of planes flying over and car horns going off in congestion.

Ireland isn't even that far from England so I would love to visit for a short break away. The whole of Ireland has something different about it that intrigues people about visiting. Have you been to Ireland, what were some highlights of your trip?*All images and researched information all via google search ;)NEXT: PARIS, FRANCE

FIREWORK DISPLAY

Bonfire Night on 5th of November is all about the bonfires and firework displays, commemorating Guy Fawkes here in Britain.

Loads of places put on a huge 'family fun' night - some free - such as funfairs all ending with a firework display.

I like bonfire night with the fireworks but this year there didn't seem to be that huge of a deal, maybe because it was raining as usual. For bonfire night I attended a firework display last year and here are some pics of fireworks I saw:

 

 

Its hard to get great images of fireworks exploding in the sky and doesn't really show how amazing the display was.

 

What's your favourite yearly celebration?

EXPLORING LONDON: CAMDEN TOWN

Exploring North London, in particular Camden. Filled with market stalls Camden offers a unique experience full of fashion, style, food, drink and art.

The famous Stables Market around Camden:

 Camden Town is so close to Regent's Park where London Zoo is and next to Primrose Hill where you can see amazing views of the London Skyline!

Have you been to Camden?

I also walked to Primrose Hill - I'll be sharing views from Primrose Hill in another blog post! The views are incredible!

WEEKEND BREAK: Somerset, England

I love to share my holidays pictures whether they are going abroad or staying here in England. A few weeks ago I went away for the weekend over the Bank Holiday to Somerset.

Some of the places we visited over the few days we were there:

Wells Cathedral

We also headed over to Weston-super-mare beach as it wasn't too far.

 

Cheddar Gorge

There was a long road you can drive all the way through to see the gorge. We went part way through then headed back down to where there were more shops and places to eat.

The day got brighter and hotter throughout the day

Street art always captures my eye.

It was a great reflection of the place.

It was very lucky for us as this day was the start of the lovely hot days we've been having in England

There were over 200 steps to walk.

Eventually managed and saw the lovely views beyond the place it gave.

As you can see going up those steps was worth it to see the view!

One of the biggest things I noticed is that coming from the city (London) and then going there to the countryside was a massive difference! I defiantly prefer the city but love exploring wherever the place may be; it is also a nice quiet change to experience.

I hoped you enjoyed reading this post. I would love to hear where you have been on holiday, whether it was a few days away or a few weeks!
