Abbey Park, Leicester, A Park Full of Magic
Abbey Park is located on Abbey Park Road, Leicester. It's a public park, owned and managed by Leicester City Council. It's a mile away from Leicester's busy city centre, which is easily walkable to reach; around a 25 minute walk, or there are bus routes that are available too. The park is free entry, and it closes at 8 PM.

Enjoy the tour... Playing the flute takes me to many fun, exciting, interesting, historic places. It's always a joy to venture somewhere new, learn new history, discover incredible facts about a place, and enjoy the experience.

Great Places That Welcome Dogs
Yes it is no secret, I adore dogs! All dogs, every single breed, but when it comes to my favourite breed, it is Labradors all the way for me. Over the years my red-fox Labrador, Lola, and I, have had many adventures and fun times together. We have visited many places, and it is always wonderful to discover a place that is dog friendly and welcoming. It will be an absolute joy to share mine and Lola's favourite places, which are well worth a visit, and are a treat for your dog, as well as yourself.

Visit: Leicester
Leicester is my home city. I suppose it is not really up there with cities to visit for a day trip, or a weekend city break. But it should be, as it is a city rich in history. Full of interesting tourist attractions, parks, restaurants, music scene, shopping centres, museums, theatres. A great nightlife, bars, nightclubs. Of course there is also Leicester Market, where many bargains can be found! A proud city; a beautiful city.

Visit the Top 5 Castles In the UK
I love castles, always have. There is something about them that just brings out the child within me! I suppose it's nostalgia from visiting so many castle's as a child, plus I loved The Canterville Ghost, and the game show Knightmare! Castles were places where fun was to be had!

Heartbreak: Nothing Hurts More Than The Death of Your Dog
I have come to believe that losing a beloved family dog is one of the worst pains you will ever feel. That loyal companion, that faithful friend, that unconditional love. The dog that was once the permanent cuddle, that was always there for you, is one day gone. That leaves a hole in your heart, which takes a long time to heal. The grief and pain is deep.

Snake Facts That Will Blow Your Mind!
The incredible world of snakes. Okay, I know, you either love them, or you are simply terrified of them. There is no in between. I used to be absolutely terrified of them, that was until recently, then I very bravely stroked my boyfriend's pet King Cobra. Yep, my heart was pounding, I felt shaky, but I soon realised, there was nothing to be afraid of. I have been truly fascinated by these intelligent reptiles ever since. Snakes are amazing. I have been like a sponge soaking up as much facts on them as possible! Here are the facts which amazed me the most.

Photoshop: CS2 Is Still the Best!
Photoshop, as we all know, certainly comes in handy from time to time! A little touch here and there to make fabulous photographs and images, it creates graphic perfection. It is just awesome for designs for posters, adverts, and flyers. The possibilities are endless.

Princess Eugenie: The Original Brunette of the Palace
On the 12th October 2018 we watched Princess Eugenie of York marry her long term love Jack Brooksbank. After a seven year romance Princess Eugenie walked down the aisle, beautifully, at St. George's Chapel, Windsor. The second Royal wedding of the year. Who doesn't love a wedding? Especially a Royal one! Champagne and confetti were at the ready! The day was very special indeed.
