Scientist, maker and traveller — writing about the places, ideas and small adventures that make a life.

Welcome

This Blog is my life and opinions.

I am always striving for health, happiness, sustainability, adventure, creativity, beauty and intention. I have a great outlook on life and love to enjoy all that it has to offer, I hope you will enjoy all that I post on this website.

This is a developing blog project for me to express myself. Expect to find posts about travel, UK escapes, the books I have read, the places I like to visit, dog-friendly days out, craft projects, and the odd informative science and history post!

Have a great day!

Arabella

The gardens and house at Wrest Park

A day at Wrest Park

Picture this – a serene day in the heart of Bedfordshire, where tucked amidst its green expanse lies the enchanting Wrest Park, a county estate steeped in layers of history and natural beauty.

A long weekend in Edinburgh

Stepping onto the cobblestone streets of Edinburgh was such an awesome moment. If you are like me, love autumn, harry potter, gothic style architecture and are easily influenced by TikTok then you will understand my excitement.
