Yet there are many that are unaware that Wakefield is even a city, let alone that it has a cathedral. It certainly doesn’t rank high amongst the UK’s most popular cathedrals when…

I’ve visited Paris several times over the years and am flabbergasted at how much there is to see and do in the city. There is such a wealth of culture and history every direction you turn that I leave wanting more and more. It is impossible to see everything in one trip no matter how long you are…

I regularly visit the north east coast of England as my husband’s family hails from the coastal town of Hartlepool. Despite countless trips, I rarely explore much of the area as we tend to spend most of our time catching up with family and friends that still live there.
