That one bridge in Castle Combe 🥰 Last month, my mum and I took a road trip around the Cotswolds. A must place to visit was Castle Combe, very popular among travel writers for its stone houses and, of course, this bridge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📖 This village is tiny, and can be seen in a few hours or less. It has a huge golf course, and a lovely (free to enter) hiking trail goes through it that enables visitors to take in the sights without having to pay for golf. Once a month, local artists and craft makers set up a market to sell their goods (thanks @theoldrectorytearoom for the tip!) ☕️ We didn’t stay here, but had afternoon tea at @themanor_house It’s definitely worth the splurge, not only for the gorgeous setting and gardens but for the outstanding service and yummy food. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shout out to @all_about_rosalilla for inspiring this shot. Love her tips on blogging and her raw stories 🌷 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #travelwithmer #welivetowander #followingthegirls_ #coolplacestogo #slowtravelling #wotwtravel #travelbloggersofig #girlgettersglobal #destinationdiscoveries #thedreamytravels #theunitedkingdom #missadventure #folk_life_mood #itravelbecause #girlywanderlust #nomadiccreators #adventuretravels #nomadjunkies #lovelyviews #travellermemoriesbyme #travelnowlifelater #nowtravel #inspiredtravel #adventureinyou #daretoexplore #travelwriters #wanderwomeninc #conscioustravel #discovertheglobe #seetheworldthroughmyeyes

Scarlett O’Hara, Angel of Influencer Death, at your service. My laptop is still in repair so I haven’t been able to post anything on the blog yet. 📸 @bloggeronpole 👗 @sewn.in (turned into a skirt from a dress) #halloween #gonewiththewind PS. How do you even do hashtags now?

The writer in me is fast asleep as technology issues mount on. But I got the pics from the Cotswolds developed so at least you've got something to look at while I get it together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #destinationdiscoveries #sheisthewild #thedreamytravels #theunitedkingdom #missadventure #folk_life_mood #girlywanderlust #adventuretravels #girlstoptravel #lovelyviews #cowanderlust #travellermemoriesbyme #travelnowlifelater #inspiredtravel #daretoexplore #allaboutadventure #theglobewanderers #escapeandwonder #travelabout #traveldames #globetravelgram #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #getoutsidemore #worldofwanderlust #darlingescape #traveltherenext #offthebeatentrack #postcardplaces #thecotswolds #discovercotswolds

“Do you see me now?” Today’s #WorldMentalHealthDay - and a nice reminder to be kind and compassionate and to be there for ourselves and those around us. Without judgement. Without pressure. Just us. This is a self-portrait from March 2019, during a period of high anxiety. #worldsmentalhealthday #travelwithmer #mentalhealthawareness #recovery #story #hope #endstigma #wellness #healing #selfcare #itsoktonotbeok #itsgoodtotalk #recovering #mentalhealthwarrior #heartonmysleeve #wmhday

Finally breaking the blogging silence with my #bookreviews for the summer. The themes for August and September were #femalewriters and interpersonal relations. In their unique ways, these books gave me insight into the messiness of being human. I cried, laughed and warmed my heart with tales of friendship, love and overcoming adversity. Now go on to the link in bio to learn more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Books: - When All Is Said by @annegriffinwriter - To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf - Bad/Tender by @bloggeronpole - Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #travelwithmer #bookstagram #nonfiction #readstagram #bookaddicts #readingtime #booksbooksbooks #bookfeatures #bookworm #femaleauthors #annegriffin #virginiawoolf #bloggeronpole #gailhoneyman #womenwriters #vintagecollection #sceptrebooks #harpercollins #selfpublished

This weekend one of my best friends got married in an intimate location. I was honoured to be one of the bridesmaids, and also gave me an excuse to visit the last new country of the year :) It also game me the perfect setting to show solidarity with the #Sundaybumday movement - because if you don’t turn up for fellow writers and bloggers what are you even doing? #travelwithmer
