Halloween is becoming bigger and bigger every year in the UK. For a few years now I have been seeing insta photos of pumpkin fields and have been longing to go myself. So, as I have a week off work we have finally got the chance to go pumpkin picking at Farmer Copleys.
Visiting Steeton Hall Gateway
Visiting English Heritage sites is rapidly becoming an obsession of mine. The history behind the sites is usually fascinating. The monuments are beautiful, even in their ruined state, and hold so much history. And they are usually set in gorgeous surroundings so are great for a day out walking or with a picnic. Steeton Hall Gateway is the closest English Heritage site to us and somewhere we’ve never visited before.
Five things to do in Scarborough South Bay
Living in Leeds, the North Yorkshire East Coast are our nearest seasides. Whitby is usually our go to seaside town but we have been trying some of the others recently too. Scarborough is the largest beach resort in Yorkshire and it is really popular with tourists. Huge limestone cliffs are the backdrop to the beach and separate it in to two sections. North Bay is the quieter area and South Bay, where we have spent the day, the busier part. Here are five things to do in Scarborough South Bay.
Leeds Festival 2018
Leeds Festival 2018 is a very different LeedsFest for me as I have a new festival buddy. It is Ellie’s first Leeds Festival and her “proper” festival too. Whilst we have been to Bingley Music Live and lots of gigs and concerts we haven’t done a big festival before. As she is 15 now, next summer she is able to go on her own with her friends. As I’m something of a self-confessed festival veteran now I want to take her so she can see what it’s like. I want her to experience everything, know what happens where and generally show her around.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park
My first visit to Yorkshire Sculpture Park was on a frosty, cold Decembers day. I said then I would have to go back to see the park in the summer. As the weather has been so nice I have been working on this years resolution and exploring more of my local area so we visited again on a gloriously sunny day.
