Dungeness: Like another World

My Husband and I took a road trip to the South East a couple of weekends ago to visit friends in Hassocks. Taking advantage of the glorious English sunshine, we decided to take the Friday off and start our trip via the interesting 'village' of Dungeness.

Situated on the Kent coastline, Dungeness is a forgotten postcode that seems to have stood still in time with its shingle beach stretching for miles, dotted with boat caucuses and delapadated wooden sheds.

The sun was beaming down on us and the area was so quiet and eerie, we felt like we were in an American wasteland.

The area surrounding Dungeness is a heavily protected Nature Reserve with rare plants and masses of birds.

Most people will have heard of Dungeness by the film directors Prospect Cottage and the two massive Power Stations, which are a strange backdrop for such a uniquely beautiful spot.

We picnicked on the deserted beach, strolled around the shingles, and had a pint in the busy pub. 

Dungeness is well worth a visit for an afternoon or a day as it truly is like a different world.

POTTER! Warner Bros Studio Tour

Such an amazing adventure! All thanks to my brilliant sister. The best Christmas present ever, a ticket to the Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour!
Potter glasses purchased and on our excited faces, we were ready to enter Potter World!
Waiting anxiously in front of the doors to the Great Hall, our adventure was about to begin!

Real Film Sets, Costumes, Wands, Broomsticks, Props, Animals, Cars, Buses and Butterbeer, this place was truly magical.

Diagon Alley was by far the best part of the tour. It was so real and you actually felt you were part of the Harry Potter crew while you walked the cobbled streets!

Models and Cad drawings, Concept Art and Architectural Sketches, leads you through until you turned the corner to the final breath taking view of the 1:24 scale model of Hogwarts.
It was awesome. So intricate and flawless, no wonder it was used as the actual Hogwarts in the film!

Harry Potter World is a Magical, Educational and fun day out. I'd recommend it to any HP fan, no matter what age you are!

Lion Medallion

Just a little purchase i wanted to share with you in the form of this Versace inspired Medallion I found in H&M last week. I just had to have it.
I loved the Lions heroic face and thought it looked a lot more expensive than the £7.99 i paid for it.

Ladybower Damn Hiking Expedition!

Myself and my Husband visited our sister and her boyfriend this weekend in sunny Sheffield. She has recently purchased a new car, so thought it nice to take us out of the City and into the Peaks for a expedition!
We arrived at Ladybower Damn in about half an hour, had a hearty mix of warm homemade soup and crisps, then set out on our adventure.

With my Fur Coat, LV rucksack and my new Native Indian Cat jumper, i felt like i fitted in perfectly with the professional hikers!

We hiked, climbed, slipped, laughed, puffed and panted for approximately 3 hours! It was a beautiful place, with a lot more to explore.
Here's a few photos!

Amazing ipad Cases

How amazing are these Manish Arora iPad cases! Metallic leathers adorned with crystals and beading make these cases so uniquely exquisite. This is one of the first shows that i have seen to really show off the ipad case. I really don't think anybody could top these amazing gems!

Crispy White and Magical

If only we could move Christmas to January! It's colder, it snows and it's definitely a lot more Christmassy! It's been -8 degrees in my Rutland village, my cars broke down and it's so slippery, I've even have to wear flats! Apart from that, it has been absolutely beautiful and given me some great photo opportunities.
Here's some winter wonderland shots of my village and Burghley House.
