    Stately Homes to Visit In Cambridgeshire and Suffolk

    August 18, 2021 /

    Two of my favourite things to do in England and the rest of the UK are visiting stately homes and taking garden/countryside walks. Cambridgeshire and the neighboring county of Suffolk don’t lack for either. Every visit is a treat for the eyes and also gives me an opportunity to learn more about the history of the area. We purchased a National Trust membership back in the spring and it’s been well worth the £10/month (total). Membership is a really #GetThrifty deal because parking alone at some National Trust (NT) properties is usually a minimum of £5. Entry can range anywhere from £5-15 per person. So if you’re an avid explorer…

Ch-ch-ch-changes! Today is my last day as a full-time freelancer and as the Social Media Manager @bcaletrail. Working for the @bcaletrail is an opportunity that started in 2018 with some influencer stuff, then blogging and really just being available at the right time. A chance to get paid to promote things I'm passionate about (travel, craft beer, BC and supporting local) was one I had to take. Thank you @socially_monica for reaching out to me about all of these opportunities and for being a lovely mentor and friend. Fun fact: I grew up in Vancouver and never owned a pair of hiking boots... until moving to the UK. It took an international move and not wanting to get my trainers muddy in the countryside to buy a proper pair of boots. Figures. 😂 Mondays call for the big mug. ☕️ Cheers to activating my OOO and getting fully into jingle mode. 🍻 I was looking through photos yesterday and this photo reminded me that I missed sharing a little Manchester recap. This will always be a hard day. You have no idea how much we miss you. 💔 This is as close to wearing a costume as I get. 🐭 Happy Halloween, friends! Be safe, have fun, share joy. Spent the summer taking mask selfies in ornate mirrors, wandering estate gardens and brushing up on English history. And then I forgot to share the blog post in the midst of the chaos of moving houses. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Link in bio for my favourite stately homes in the Cambridge and Suffolk counties. #CanadianExpat I’ll just be over here waiting for Halloween to end so I can put the Christmas tree up. 💁🏻‍♀️ Happy Friday! #FBF to my last dinner in Victoria before leaving for England. We paired a lovely @hestercreek Cab Franc Rosé with lemon-avocado sauce pasta (made by me with a fab @fraicheliving recipe) and prawns (expertly BBQ’d by @ian.derson — caught by him and @sarahh.yoga).
