For a long time one of Great Britain’s best kept secrets, when the activities of Bletchley Park were final revealed to all after it was declassified under the Official Secrets Act, a race was underway to restore the rapidly decaying huts where hundreds of men and women (mostly women) served relentlessly to decipher enemy messages which were to shorten the war significantly.

It’s a little late for Easter but if you are looking for a nice day out with the kids this summer you won’t go far wrong at Gulliver Land. Our grandkids just had the best day, which was part of a long weekend also pulling in our trip to the Harry Potter studio tour.

You can read the whole review here and now you can experience a little of it for yourself by watching our video review on our youtube channel:
Brighton sits on the pebbly south coast of England, which has featured in many books and films, and is THE quintessentially British seaside resort.
For years we have toyed with the idea of visiting the town (actually now officially a city) and this year we got the chance to spend a long weekend there. And while we had a very nice time, it wasn’t at all what we had expected.

Hi Everyone! Well Christmas is fast approaching and our vacation calendar is almost complete for the year. Next year we have many more trips planned; the first is already booked so I hope you’ll keep following our adventures. But there’s a little time left before we start packing for me to catch up with some missing reviews and videos from this year.
Here is the next offering – our video review of Paradise Lakeside Lodges in Storwood, Yorks to accompany my recent review post of this excellent venue. I hope you enjoy. Come back soon!
Rob and Sue’s World Traveller visited Paradise Lodge in October 2018.
