Royal Albert Hall – BBC Proms

Thor’s Cave with walking guide

We love the outdoors and regularly go walking but it's always to the same places that we already know. It was time to get more adventurous (and more organised!).

Yayoi Kusama: You, Me and the Balloons

We couldn't help but have an instant reaction to this immersive installation at Manchester's Aviva Studios, and very much enjoyed watching other people have a similar reaction to the works on display.

The Forbidden Corner in Leyburn

On our way back from Alnwick we called in at The Forbidden Corner to stretch our legs and to have some lunch. I’ve often seen this place advertised and it’s won plenty of awards, so we thought we’d go and see what it was like.
