Hiking Hadrian’s Wall – our full seven day itinerary
Back in May 2022, after a visit to Housesteads Roman fort the previous year, we were inspired to hike the entire Hadrian’s Wall Path.

Hiking Hadrian’s Wall in 2022 – what you need to know
In October 2021, while travelling in the North of England, we were curious to visit Hadrian’s Wall. The Wall was the north-west frontier of the Roman empire for nearly three hundred years, and was built by the Roman army on the orders of the emperor Hadrian in AD 122. At 117km (73 miles), it crosses […]
Perks of being a full time pet sitter
When we began pet sitting full time in 2018, travelling all over the U.K. and beyond, we could never have imagined all the experiences we would have with this lifestyle. Beyond the obvious perks like travelling to new places, living rent free, and spending time together, our favourite parts of being nomadic house sitters are […]
Visiting dog friendly cafes in Hove
Before we began our full time house sitting lifestyle, we spent a year renting a flat in the centre of Brighton. Back then, Chris was spending his weekdays working at a desk 9-5 as a web developer, while I worked on my Etsy shop in our conservatory-turned-studio at home.

48 hours in the Cotswolds
During our rare gaps between house sitting assignments, we absolutely LOVE exploring! With no house or pet responsibilities, we go all-in on seeing as much of a new place as we can and enjoying some time just the two of us. The Cotswolds is one of those places that has absolutely boomed in popularity in […]
Dicky Bag review: A must-have for walkies!
Anyone walking a dog in the countryside can attest – there’s never a bin when you need one! We’ve carried full poo bags for MILES over the years on our dog walks, because there simply aren’t bins up mountains, deep in forests, or on rolling moorland. Don’t get us wrong – it would be a […]
