  • Where is your happy place? Mine is skiing & having the slopes to your self. I may not be able to ski at the moment due to my recovery but l certainly can dream about the #skiseason. #TBT This was last spring skiing in Chamonix when the Musilac Mont Blanc music festival was on. You would ski in the morning & then dance the night away in your shorts all afternoon. Best of both worlds l say. #presstrip #montblanc #france #savoiemontblanc #neverstopexploring #lppathfinders #yourshotphotographer #ski #skiing #annecymountains #francemontagnes #adventuregirl #lifelooksbetter #adventureproof #gopro #snowboarding #skiislife #springskiing #musilac #musicfestival #skiingtrip #snowboard #alpsmountains #goprohero5
  • What a view right? Don't worry you to have fo be a skier to enjoy these amazing views of the French Alps. I'm on the observation deck at Anguille du Midi Chamonix, right next to Mont Blanc. You can take in some of the most amazing views ever while enjoying a hot chocolate. Those skiers you can see are preparing to head down one of the most famous routes Valley Blanche. It is also a very dangerous route over glicers that are unmarked, ungulided & not controlled. I would highly recommend a guide if you want to try it & you must be a confident skier or snowboarder because you don't want to get stuck. #aiguilledumidi #chamonix #montblanc #france #frenchalps #francemontagnes #savoiemontblanc #yourshotphotographer #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #adventuregirl #skiing #annecymountains #snowboarding #travelblogger #ilovefrench #ilovefrance #skiislife #alpsmountains
  • Fun fact for you 🤗 That mansion you can see in the picture is called Apsley House & claims the adress of Number 1 London. Apparently it is because it was the first house you saw once you entered London (That bit I'm not sure on). There is rumours though that if you do post a letter ( if you still do it) to Number 1 London it will go there but who knows if that is true. The address now though has changed if you are wandering but they still keep that claim. It was pretty cool seeing on the #bustronome doubledecker tour. #gift #lovegreatbritain #england #heritage #yourshotphotographer #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #amazingviews #neverstopexploring #englishheritage #greatbritain #sarcoidosis #pacemaker #defibrillator #travelblogger #mylondon #visitlondon #bustours #winelover #winetours #londoner #londondrinks
  • Who loves rooftop bars? London has some amazing rooftop bars which take in some amazing iconic sites.

  • 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
