3 Cosy Adventures to Take in the UK this Autumn

Hey Owlets,

The leaves have begun to turn, the sun now sets before 8pm and the rain has returned (not that it ever really left - what happened to summer this year?!). With summer being mostly a non-starter, I’m uncharacteristically excited for the darker months this year. I’m already wondering where to hang fairy lights, thinking about purchasing my favourite home fragrance in candle form and dreaming of pumpkin picking and bundling up to go for a wander on a chilly day. On that note, I wanted to share a few places that are my absolute favourite spots to spend a cosy autumn day.

Bath is a city brimming with heritage. From the beautiful sandstone buildings to the Roman remains and everything in between, the city is the ideal place for any history or architecture buff to spend a weekend. Bath has a secret though - it can transform in the blink of an eye to perfectly embody each changing season. Famous for its city-wide Christmas Market Bath can sometimes be forgotten in the summer in favour of the UK’s seaside towns, but the city is full of hidden gems just waiting to be explored when the sun shines. Here are a few places that you need to take another look at during the warmer months to experience the best that Bath has to offer in summer.

How To Pack For Your First Cruise

Hey Owlets,

Cruising is an entirely new way to travel - there are so many differences between cruise holidays and land holiday. If you’re planning your first cruise it’s understandable that you might feel a little overwhelmed and not know where to start when it comes to packing for a cruise. When I went on my first cruise I didn’t have a clue - I was a fully paid up member of the “pack everything and hope for the best” brigade. Now I’ve been cruising for a few years I wanted to share a few some of my tips on how to choose what to pack for your first cruise, what to leave at home and suggest a few things that you may not have thought to bring! 

Rotterdam in One Day - The Best Itinerary for 24 Hours in Rotterdam, Netherlands

How to Spend the Perfect Day in Rotterdam

It's no secret that Rotterdam is one of my favourite cities in Europe. As a port day on a cruise ship, you're presented with a wealth of opportunities to explore either Rotterdam or further afield. One of the most popular choices for a port day usually involves a day trip to Amsterdam, but I've known someone be left behind on more than one occasion because of traffic or trains, so I prefer to spend the day exploring Rotterdam instead. Rotterdam is a city packed full of arts and culture - it's got a huge foodie scene, a wealth of different museums and galleries, and more independent shops than you could possibly hope to visit in a single day. If you're not sure where to start, try this itinerary for a day spent in Rotterdam - perfect for a port day on a cruise ship or a mini break where you've flown into the city.
