Hi, I’m Pattie and I share insider knowledge about visiting the UK for those wanting to staycation as well as those visiting from abroad.



I would like to help you with deciding where to visit and what there is to do there. There are so many hidden gems and wonderful spots off the beaten track. I want to help you discover the place in the UK that’s simply perfect for you. Along the way, I want to give you the best money-saving tips, as well as tips for those travelling with anxiety and how to make your trip more comfortable.

I am really good at thinking outside the box. I spent 5 years at art school, so creativity is my forte, and I love to put this to use when it comes to travel. Everyone knows that Big Ben is impressive and Buckingham Palace is a must-see. But I want you to find the trip that is perfect for YOU, and that takes a little creativity. No matter your interests or what you feel most comfortable with, I’m sure I can find something for you.

I was born and raised in the UK. Specifically, the West Midlands. I have been holidaying here for over 20 years and I have visited all four corners of the country – from Glasgow to Cardiff, from London to Sherwood Forest. I have insider knowledge and a great love of the variety of places, cultures and landscapes here. This, combined with my love of travel writing, mean I have everything I need to help you discover your love of the UK too.

Let’s get to know each other better! Here are a few fun facts about me:

  1. I am a big reader, from Jane Austen, to C.S. Lewis.
  2. I drink about 6 cups of tea a day! (Complete stereotype, I know.)
  3. I have a serious passion for 1960’s fashion.
  4. Walking is my favourite way to relieve stress.
  5. I’ve play the guitar….relatively badly.
  6. My favourite TV show is BBC Merlin, and has been since I was 14 years old.
  7. I love to crochet anything from clothes, to rugs, to blankets.
  8. I have been vegetarian for 8 years.
  9. My favourite thing to bake is focaccia bread.
  10. I more or less live in dungarees.
