Hannah, Greg and Pumpkin the pup! Travel, trucks and snacks. Come for the adventure!
Is this one of the most beautiful views in the whole world?
We definitely think so!
The Quiraing on the Isle of Skye in Scotland 🏴 is a stunning place no matter the season or the weather. The first time we ever went there we were mesmerised by its beauty and its wildness. There are so many beautiful features you can’t take it in all at once. We could have stared all day and still wanted more!
Have you been to the Quiraing? Where are some of your favourite views?
What a trip! We are home now and back with Pumpkin pup after our mega adventure to Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam.
Although it was a quick trip we made the most of every second and are certain we will go back again in the future to see more! Greg’s done a lot of international travel throughout his life but I had hardly left the UK until we met 7+ years ago. Now I want to see everywhere and everything ❤️.
We have a whole bunch of stuff to post from our travels over the next few weeks.
This is one of my favourite shots from the whole trip. Taken by my childhood friend who now lives in Hanoi. It was great to be shown all the best spots for street food. I will be dreaming of Phở and Bún chả until I get to have it again 🥲.
I spent my birthday evening sat on the top of a hill at my sister’s farm
4 years ago to the day I sat in the same spot celebrating my 30th birthday. It was in the midst of Covid and we were only allowed to gather in groups of 6. My family had set up a campfire, chairs and a picnic, we sat out under the stars and spent time with each other for the first time in months. I was in such a bad place back then, my mental health was at its worst, in a job that had ground me into the floor, every day was a struggle and I was at the very limit of my resilience.
Sitting up there this year helped me reflect just how far I’ve come, how much has changed and how happy I am now. What a difference 4 years can make ❤️.
Grief is a funny old thing.
3 and a half years ago I lost one of the most important people in my life. When we met he was my boss but he soon became much more than that, a mixture of friend, family, teacher and secret keeper.
I carry a lot of guilt from his death, he died during one of the lockdowns and he died without anybody there who loved him. Deep down I know that I couldn’t have been with him but it doesn’t make it any easier.
I have a lot of his things, some are treasured possessions but others less so like piles of paperwork which needed to be disposed of safely. For some reason I’ve found it really hard to let those go. However, for some reason last night felt right.
As I sorted through the piles of paperwork and scraps of paper, I found myself shedding tears at shopping lists in his handwriting scrawled on the back of envelopes, his order from the Chinese takeaway because he always ordered the same thing and it brought memories flooding back and a note saying what date and time I would arrive at festival we were working at many years ago.
I’m slightly embarrassed to admit I’ve kept an old list of things he wanted to buy from Toolstation and a few notes written about me. It’s so so nice to have his handwriting.
The rest of the paperwork was fed to the fire with some tears. While it burned, I toasted him with some which seemed only fitting.
I’ve lost count of the evenings him and I spent around of fire sharing a whisky or 4 in years gone by.
I know wherever he is now he would have been laughing at the ridiculousness of me sobbing over old receipts and invoices and he would be telling me to pull myself together.
Afterwards Greg used the fire to cook our dinner over which felt so right.
What a day!
Yesterday was Greg’s birthday and it was epic. We worked during the day but in the evening Greg cooked an amazing BBQ for us all over the fire on his new tripod and cooking rack. Then the Northern Lights made an appearance and gave him a birthday he will never forget. We have seen them a few times but they have never been as magnificent as they were last night. The fact we saw them like this at home in Dartmoor made it even more special!
What a beautiful birthday. Mother Nature you are incredible 💜💚😍.
Greg has been cooking a big meal over the fire once a week to share with family and friends. Last night was Moroccan night with stunning Mutton from , chicken skewers, couscous, flat breads and so many lovely salads. Other meals he’s cooked recently are Southern BBQ, Chilli and Cornbread, a stunning Japanese inspired meal and a massive trout my brother caught. What do you think he should cook next?
Ultimate family portrait 🧡 😂
We made the most of the sun coming out the other day with a lovely river walk and soaking up some sunshine. This was meant to be just a photograph of both of us but Pumpkin gets serious FOMO and hates to miss out on a cuddle 😂.
Greg took these on our American adventure last year while hiking part of the South Rim Trail at Cedar Breaks National Monument in Utah. I think the first shot is my favourite one he has ever taken!
2 birds, one bird of prey and a raven fighting in the sky. The raven is flying upside down mirroring the bird of prey above it.

We all know Greg loves to cook over the open flame! Last weekend our friend Fred @allerparkfarm celebrated his birthday in style! Greg helped him cook a whole pig over the fire. Fred is a pig farmer, he reared this pig himself. As far as local food with minimal food miles you can’t get better than this! #hogroast #campfire #campfirecooking #cookingonfire #firepit #firepitcooking #porkbelly #cookingoutdoors #cookingoutside #localfood #lowfoodmiles #eatlocal

The Devils Pulpit stands high above the River Wye on the Offa’s Dyke footpath in Gloucestershire. The rocky outcrop gives a stunning view of the valley and the ruins of Tintern Abbey. Legend has it the Devil stood up there preaching down to the monks who lived in the Abbey and trying to tempt them into leaving it. @chasefarmmilk is nearby, they sell their ice cream, milk, milkshakes and waffles. Check their opening times and pop in! . . . . #findinghappiness #findingyourself #vanlife #vanlifeuk #devilspulpit #sunsetmoment #adventure #sunsethike #coupleswhotravel #wildwomen #sunset #beautifulplaces #hiddengems #offasdykepath #offasdyke #wildandfree #hikingadventures #hikingwithdogs #explorepage #cockerspaniels #hikingwithdogs #spaniellove #hikingtrip #gloucestershire #visitgloucestershire #forestofdean #exploreuk #ukstaycay #staycation #yourcountryside
This is my favourite quote, I grew up with this written on a post-it note stuck to the window of my parents house with the River Teign flowing in the background. Swimming at Teignmouth always feels pretty special when you think how far that water flows. It flows past my childhood home, the village I grew up in and past the land my sister now farms sustainably and in harmony with nature. It amazes me to think just how many lives that water has touched. 📍- Teignmouth, Devon....#coldwaterswimming #wildswimming #riverswimming #youroutdooradventures #wildwomen #bewildandfree
If someone told me a few years ago I would be getting up before the dawn to hike on Dartmoor and watch the sunrise just for the hell of it I would have never believed them.I have always struggled with my mental health and that combined with the loss of several loved ones, a previous abusive relationship and job that made me feel worthless had led me to a place where I was just surviving day to day. Anything other than the bare minimum seemed too overwhelming to contemplate so I missed events, birthdays and lost touch not only with people I loved but with myself. Now after a hell of a lot of time and work I’m self employed, in a happy secure relationship, spend my days making treasure (@hammered_and_twisted) and hanging out the sweetest (but somewhat bonkers) pup. I can do things like get up for a sunrise hike which may not seem like a huge feat to many but to me symbolises so much more.Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all sunshine and daisies…I still have bad days and being self employed can be pretty scary but I’m free and I’m trying to enjoy the small moments again. 📍- Haytor, Dartmoor..#adventureuk #adventure #choosinghappiness #lifeofadventure #vanlifeuk #vanlife #findinghappiness #exploremore #selfemployed #explorepage #adventurediaries #happinessproject #findingjoy #keepmoving #wildandfree #exploremore #stayandwander #stayandwonder #wildadventures #wildwomen #wildwoman #dartmoornationalpark #devonisheaven #dartmoor #adventureisoutthere #outsideisfree #wildplaces #youroutdooradventures #yourskies #yourcountryside
