The when, the why…
About forty years ago, at the tender age of 7, I took my first tourist trip without my parents (my best friend’s dad was a teacher, taking a group of 11 year olds on a 5 day school trip to London). I had my first camera and a diary, so I could later share my new experiences with my family; and my love of photographing places of interest and beauty, and writing about them, began. I have never stopped writing or photographing, but this is my first time sharing those places special to me with a wider audience.!

…and the who…
Hi, I’m Annabel, a writer and a reflexologist, living my dream, with four babies, two girls and two boys (two are not-so and quickly growing-up babies, and two just happen to be of the furry four legged kind); and my gentle, music loving husband; in a beautiful Victorian house with gardens, in the West Yorkshire countryside. When not at home, you might find me in my equally fascinating home town of Leek, or enjoying the beaches and castles along the Northumberland coast. If you are as interested as me in the history and beauty of these wonderful places, among others, please read on and enjoy!
