WELCOME TO VICTORIA’S VOYAGE

MY TRAVEL DIARY

  • Hello Chester (Pt.1)

    Hello Chester (Pt.1)

    It isn’t quite Japan, but it will do. When plans get derailed, you have two choices. 1. Wallow and be miserable2. Try to consolidate and make the best of it I did the latter, which is how I found myself in the historic English city of Chester – a land known for its Roman roots… Read more

    A Weekend in York

    We said we wouldn’t do it, but deep down we both knew that wasn’t the truth. That’s how within minutes of checking in to our hotel for the weekend after a short drive from work, we ended up in none other than Wetherspoons – and with vodka… Oops! And thus began a weekend in the… Read more

  • Haworth, West Yorkshire

    Haworth, West Yorkshire

Haworth is a village of steep cobbled streets, sleepy stone cottages, an abundance of witty signage and most importantly, a strong, feminist presence – which makes sense considering this unremarkable little spot of… Read more
