This Thursday is dedicated to my fond memories of my short stay in Oxfordshire last year. I had a wonderful time, I stayed with a lovely family whom I hope to meet again soon, the weather was impeccable and I was as happy as can be. Looking through this blog post and the photos brought […]
While I was in Oxfordshire, the lovely family I lived with took me to see Blenheim Palace, Winston Churchill’s birthplace. And I was impressed already at the front gate of the building. It’s enormous! And a quick ImDb search also revealed that parts of the palace can be seen in several well known movies such […]
As a movie nerd, of course I had to visit Christ Church University while I was in Oxford! It was absolutely breathtaking with it’s green meadows and lawns, old historic buildings, beautiful architecture and wonderful athmosphere. The place I wanted to see was closed until after lunch, so I had about an hour and a half […]
My stay in the UK didn’t go as planned at all, but it turned out almost better than I had expected it to be. I spent just one week at the stable I was supposed to stay at, and returned to the stable in Surrey. Just a couple of days later, kind of before I […]
Just had the most delicious brownie with vanilla ice cream at a lovely little coffee house in Oxford. I’m here for the day sightseeing, wondering why on earth I haven’t visited this stunning city before!
While I was in Surrey earlier this month, I had a day off and decided to jump on the bus and go exploring the neighbouring village of Ewhurst. Originally I planned to go to Shere, a village often used in movies, but I couldn’t figure out the buses. So I ended up half way, in Ewhurst. […]
Tomorrow, after a 2,5 hour drive to Værnes, I’ll board my plane to Oslo and then continue to Heathrow, UK. I’m going to spend about two weeks in Surrey at the stable I worked at in 2013, and then I’m going to Canterbury to spend several weeks at a bigger stable when I’ll do yard […]
Looking for a certain photo, I scrolled through the folder with photos from my third ever trip to the UK, the spring when everything changed. Travelling turned out to be far easier than it seemed to me before, I fell in love with the UK all over again and I had more wanderlust and confidence than ever. On […]
I’ve been reading quite a few various blogs lately, and some of them really made me want to go travelling again. I would have left tomorrow already, if I had the money and no responsibilities. But with five horses and two rabbits to care for, I can’t just leave whenever I want to. And what to […]
