  • Do you like to be a tourist in your own city? I certainly do for sure, especially when it also involves #food & #wine. I recently did a #doubledeckerbus tour around London taking in some of the cities iconic sites while enjoying fine dining with matching wines. It was definitely a tour with a difference @bustronomelondon #gift #bustronome #london #uk #visitbritain #pacemaker #sarcoidosiswarrior #londondrinks #mylondon #londonwine #discoverlondon #londonviews #visitlondon #londontown #stpaulscathedral #foodporn #bustours #lovegreatbritain #england #wineglass #winelover #travelblogger #yourshotphotographer #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring
  • Catching the sun appearing before everyone else arrives. I am definitely a fan of a sunrise or sunset. What about you? This massive stone you see in the picture is called 'The Heal Stone' & is considered to been one of the earliest stones at Stonehenge. I'm more intrigued that it weights a whooping 30 TONS & how they were able to make it stand up right. #stonehenge #stonehengecircle #lovegreatbritain #england #heritage #yourshotphotographer #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #bucketlist #wiltshire #uk #visitbritain #pacemakerclub #history #discoverearth #visitbritain #sarcoidosiswarrior #englishheritagesites #ancientcapital #melbtravelhistory #englandtourism #sunset #sunrise
  • Up close & personal with the Sarsen circle & bluestone circle at the main site. The average sarsen (stone) weights 25 tons & there are roughly 1.5 million people that visit these stones every year at Stonehenge. If you flick through to the next picture you see the crowds when l was leaving & the bus turned up.

  • Do you know that Stonehenge England is considered to be one of the most recognised sites in the world? There are different theories about how & why they were built but most do agree it was between 2000 & 3000 BC. Would you also believe me if l told you that there is even a theory that it was built by aliens 👽👽? Off course this has never actually been proven but always fun to read. #stonehenge #lovestonehenge #englishheritage #englishheritagesites #visitbritain #england #conservation #uk #wiltshire #stonehengecircle #culture #lovegreatbritain #heritage #yourshotphotographer #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #yourshotphotographer #history #discoverearth
  • Peek a boo can you see me there? I love playing around with reflection googles. How is this view? The best bit is you don't have to ski to come here, all you need to do is cat h up the gondola. Then you can sit here all day taking in the views with a glass of wine (ir coffee) in hand.

  • After a few weeks recovering in Australia with my family & friends, I am back!!! It is not going to be easy but l am looking forward to what the year brings & how far l can push my new abilities. And learning to live & travel with my very rare heart condition called cardiac #sarcoidsis. As well as traveling with my new #bionicheart #pacemaker & #defibrillator #bionicwoman #heartwarrior #pacemakerclub #sarcoidosisawareness #watchthisspace Paraskiing is one of my favourite things to do & less scary than you would think. Not to mention you get some of the best views ever!!! #laclusazskiresort #snowboarding #skiing #annecymountains #francemontagnes #adventuregirl #france #savoiemontblanc #neverstopexploring #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #paragliding #alps #adventureproof
  • #TBT l maybe not be able to ski at the moment due to my health but l can dream about my adventures l have had. Travel/Skiing is more fun shared with a friend or in my case it was my new horse friend. You know that you can ski with horses in La Clusaz but don't worry it's not dangerous for the horses or even on a ski slope. You have to be careful though because sometimes POO flys into your face lol 💩🙈💩 It is along a ski track through the forest and its you & the horse. My horse kept chasing me afterwards because he wanted lots of pats & attention. Who am l to refuse such a request from a beautiful animal. #selfie #horses #laclusaz #laclusazskiresort #frenchalps #skiing #adventuregirl #adventure #travelblogger #travelstoke #beautifuldestinations #lppathfinders #france #francemontagnes #annecymountains #yourshotphotographer #ski #skiseason #snowboardering #savoiemontblanc #neverstopexploring #alps #animals #rhonealps #lifelooksbetter #adventureproof #skiresort
  • #tbt❤️ Who else is jumping into the weekend or done the welcome dance? Doing the welcome dance with the massai villagers, if anything l think they were laughing at me as l was useless. I could not jump as high as them though l did give it a go.
