About Me

Hi! I’m Michelle, I’m a Kiwi girl born and bred, living in Nottingham, England with my husband and travel buddy. We both have a passion for History and travel and we often choose our destinations based on the history of the area. I started this blog to connect with fellow travelers, document my own travels and pass on my own tips and tricks that I’ve picked up along the way.

Supermarine Spitfire F24 at Hendon RAF Museum. Have the say the Spitfire is one of my favourite planes from WWII.

Looking out over the pond to Attenborough Village while taking a stroll through the Attenborough Nature Reserve. Didn't spot any otters unfortunately but saw lots of cool birds and some tiny little frogs

The Reform Tower, also known as the Earl Grey Tower, located in the Stanton Moors. We came across the tower after having checked out the Nine Ladies stone circle. Built in the mid 1800's by William Pole Thornhill and dedicated to the Reform Act of 1832 (pushed through by the 2nd Earl Grey) it was used as a shooting tower for the Thornhill family.

Kirby Muxloe Castle is a cute little castle stop on a day out around Leicester. It was never completed after the death of Lord Hastings in 1483, even though his family lived there for another 150yrs

Second stop was Gainsborough Old Hall. Looks like a hodge podge of buildings stuck together from the outside. Lots of fun to explore
