Around town : Seville (Plaza de Espana), Spain

Beautiful architecture set amidst huge gardens. The Plaza itself is reminiscent of Venice. 

The surrounding gardens/park....

Time of visit: Friday in May 2014.

Around town: Windsor, UK

Just 30mins by train from Central London, Windsor feels a million miles away from London...

Combine a trip to Windsor with a potter around Eton, just a few minutes walk away.

Around town: Greenwich park, London... on a sunny June evening

Fancy spending a sunny evening in one of London's most beautiful parks? That's what we did yesterday. Check out these photos from the rolling Royal Park at Greenwich, (South East London) home to the Greenwich meridian 

Time of visit: Monday evening, June 2013

...some photos straight from my iPhone...

Looking over the small boating lake, with views across to the remnants of the old industrial buildings of Greenwich (spot the tall chimneys in the distance) 

Views over the rolling hills across to The City (i.e. the financial district) the Shard is the standout landmark here

Realise this looks like the countryside, but it really is Greenwich park - the building on the hill is where the GMT 'line'  is located 

Looking over the park towards the River Thames & Canary Wharf 

Plenty of quiet spots to sit & relax 

There are some beautiful oak trees in the park 

Around town: Hampstead Heath, north London

Having a stroll through Hampstead Heath (north London) is a lovely way to spend a sunny afternoon. A perfect way to get a flavour of the countryside without leaving the capital....

Time of visit: bank holiday Monday, May 2013 

...Some photos straight from my iPhone...

Find a quiet spot to soak up the beautiful surroundings 

For the more serious walkers, put on your hiking boots & explore the Heath

Wander into the nearby residential streets & feel like you've stumbled into a beautiful English village 

Admire some of the stunning houses in Hampstead
