Working from the road while traveling is not for the faint of heart. It can be very stressful finding reliable internet and comfortable work spaces. I really hit the jackpot today though. Yesterday, my husband and I scoured the town we’re in for a decent looking coffee shop. We saw a few that were embedded…

On our final day in London, we walked along Regent’s Canal from around King’s Cross to Camden. It was so pretty I really didn’t take a lot of photos as I was soaking it all in. I didn’t realize the extent of this Canal until after. Definitely on the list for something to do next…

Thanks to Atlas Obscura I discovered the existence of this amazing tree right next to St Pancras Old Church. The gravestones were piled up around the tree by Thomas Hardy himself, back when the St Pancras train lines were being developed. The story is that he was an underling at the company in charge of…

Abbey Road was only marginally on our list of things to do in London, but some friends of mine really wanted to go so Lana and I tagged along. Turns out it was not only neat to see where The Beatles spent so much time, it was an amazing people watching spot. I was blown…

On one of the days we were in London, we met up with a friend of mine. We planned a walking path in the direction of Buckingham Palace. We did get to the Palace but got distracted by shiney things along the way. The first of which was the Lego store. What a place! Apparently…

Did you know Charles Dickens used to walk by this church just to gaze at the skulls on the archway into the graveyard? He did! According to the internet, at least. The church has many other claims to fame. We mapped out our walk via tips from atlasobscura.com (great website if you’ve never seen it)…

We really wanted to see the sea, so we hopped on a train and went down to Brighton for the afternoon. What a great town! We saw the Royal Pavilion, a bunch of statues of queens, a gorgeous ancient church, got sprinkled on, of course, and walked on the pier. This arch was gifted to…

We saw this sign while walking through Vauxhall Park on our way to the Tube. So! No adults allowed. Definitely. Luckily we were allowed to wander through the rest of the park. Just not the kiddy area. Phew. I wanted to see Vauxhall as it comes up a lot in Regency romances like Georgette Heyer…

We wanted to see a bit of the city before catching our train back to London so we mapped out a path through Manchester for the morning. We started with Chetham’s School of Music and Library. It was closed “due to filming”. So we moved on to the Cathedral. Adorable bees everywhere! There was a…

The wifi universe was not in our favor since we left Bath so at long last, here’s the update on Karen and Lana’s Epic Uk Adventure! We said goodbye to Bath with a lovely coffee and a stop at a bookstore. Saturday in Bath was gearing up for a fun festival. Here’s more Jane: Cutest…

I’ll begin our story of Manchester with a tale of clothes washer woe. We were so excited to have a washer in our Airbnb, halfway through our trip and perfect timing for a load of laundry. While it worked, more or less, the seal on the door was failing so we had to keep sopping…

We left our adorably quaint room with the crooked door early in order to have a traditional breakfast in the hotel before starting our journey to Bath. I can’t say our journey was uneventful, but our tummies were satisfied. Long story short, we got off the bus a stop too early but too far to…
