At the end of August, I visited Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn and her siblings, Mary and George. The Gardens at Hever Castle The gardens around Hever Castle are incredible, and there are plenty of photo opportunities. The gardens looked beautiful at the end of August, and the weather was perfect, so I could enjoy the grounds. I enjoyed exploring the grounds. There is a lot to see, and the back of Hever Castle looks interesting. Visitors can take great photos there. Hever Castle To get to the castle, you must walk through the grounds. However, the Read More

Why I Loved Returning to see Six the Musical
In October, I visited Coventry to see Six the Musical for the second time. We got there an hour before the show to ensure we had plenty of time to get parked and buy the merchandise I wanted before we found our seats. We sat at the top, so Mum and I had a great view of the stage. Six the Musical Hoodie Before seeing the show for a second time, I created a Six the Musical themed hoodie. If you want to discover how I created it, you can find the link here. I loved wearing the hoodie, and Read More
Why I Loved Visiting Baddesley Clinton
Baddesley Clinton is a house that the National Trust runs, and there is a lot of history surrounding the place. If you want to visit the National Trust website to find out more, you can find it here. Baddesley Clinton is in the West Midlands, and it is a rural area. Baddesley Clinton History The house was first built in the 1400s, but very little of it survives today.

Special Interests: SIX the Musical
My interest in Six the Musical began soon after I finished my A-levels. Britain’s Got Talent was on, and Mum was watching it. She found out about it and showed it to me. After that, I became obsessed with it (which is the proper word for it this time). Most of the time, I would use Special Interests, but obsession seems more appropriate for my interest in SIX. SIX the Musical- Countdown to seeing the show As SIX the Musical was going on tour, Mum and I booked to view it. My interest kept growing, and for my birthday, I Read More
Visiting Hampton Court Palace
Visiting Hampton Court Palace has already topped my favourite days so far in 2019. Upon arrival, it was easy to park in a field opposite the palace. You do need to pay to enter the palace, and pricing can be found on the official website for Hampton Court Palace, https://www.hrp.org.uk/hampton-court-palace/#gs.w3ckw2. I brought a guide book before beginning so that I can read it after my visit. After entering the palace, we explored Henry VIII’s kitchens, which is forty-five rooms that were used to feed the Court, which contained at least six thousand people. As such, Hampton Court Palace was built Read More
Visiting Bradgate Park
After visiting Bradgate Park, I felt hopeful and excited. This visit made me feel freer than my visit to Sudeley Castle. Bradgate Park, located in Leicestershire, is surrounded by parkland. There is a mile between the two information centres, meaning that I walked at least two miles that day. Due to this, I had to take a break before I reached the visitor’s centre at both ends, but it was well worth it because I came away with a smile. Bradgate Park has a lot of open space and allows people to do what they want to do within reason. Read More
Visiting Sudeley Castle
After visiting Sudeley Castle, I have come away from my visit unhappy. Several reasons lead to me having this feeling as we were driving out of the car park. The first reason for my visit to Sudeley Castle becoming unsatisfactory was the food served at the café. They served sandwiches, but the bread was extremely thick, and I had salad in my egg mayonnaise sandwich. Due to the salad, it led me to pick it out of my sandwich; which took some time. If you plan to visit Sudeley Castle, I suggest that you take your own picnic so you Read More
