Meet Bronte, who I've nicknamed "The little Brontosaurus 🦕" 😍 She's the reason I've not been travelling and gramming this summer - sorry its been so quiet on here!! 💼 ✈ 📸 Born to our dog Widget at the end of May, she and her 8 siblings kept me pretty busy for most of June and July!! Anyone else welcomed a new pet into their lives this summer? We're on the lookout for training tips!!!!! #labradorpuppy #labradorsofinstagram #puppylove #brontosaurus #dogsofinstagram

I may be otherwise preoccupied looking after a whole heap of 🐶... (If you haven't been following my IG stories, big news, Widget gave birth to nine healthy puppies last weekend!) ...but my mind is lingering over my epic stay in the Isles of Scilly last month. Keep your eyes peeled because a review of my trip will be dropping on the blog later this week! Pinky promise✌️ #myscillysummer #lppathfinders ⠀

Sorry for my radio silence Instagram. I've had a hectic few weeks of travel so decided to disconnect for a few days to reconnect with life at home. Now I'm back at my laptop and reflecting on my stay in the Isles of Scilly; what a hidden gem. Quintessentially British architecture married with a totally tropical climate made for an epic island escape; and I didn't even need my passport to get there 😋 #connectscilly #lovegreatbritain #ad⠀

📙 🌴 🌸 ⛅ They say that in the Isles of S

📙 🌴 🌸 ⛅ They say that in the Isles of Scilly spring comes early, autumn stays late, and winter hardly exists at all; and if the subtropical vibe that I found at Tresco Abby Gardens is anything to go by then I’d have to say I’m inclined to believe them. Although I’m not entirely sure who “they” are!! 😂 It’s hard to believe that the coast of Cornwall is just 30 miles from the islands, they seem to be blessed with a completely different climate than that of the often grey and dreary British Isles. The difference is most notable on Tresco where there’s an incredible display of the island's diverse flora at Tresco Abby Gardens. Built in the 19th century around the ruins of a Benedictine Abbey, it is home to countless different species from across the world’s Mediterranean climate zones, from Brazil to New Zealand and Burma to South Africa. You’ll find the garden in bloom year-round, with more than 300 species in flower during the winter solstice! 🌸 I was so inspired I bought some seedlings at the gift shop and am going to attempt to recreate my own little piece of Scilly paradise! Wish me luck!! #connectscilly #sponsoredtrip

🌴 ☀ 🌊 A quintessentially Scilly view to brighten your Thursday commute home from work ✌️ Granted, I had perfect weather during my stay, but this sight isn’t uncommon here in England’s answer to paradise. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, the isles’ micro-climate facilitates all manners of flora and fauna; everywhere you look there are shades of the entire rainbow glistening at you in the sunlight. I snapped this on my hike around the island of St Martin’s (where I took my seal snorkelling tour with @scillysealsnorkelling) and actually stopped here for a while to dip my toes in the water. Despite its tropical appearance the water temperature is pretty chilling, it was just 10 degrees! #connectscilly #sponsoredtrip

📸 This photo pretty much sums up my day on the island of Tresco. Although just a stone’s throw across the water from St Mary’s its rugged coastal landscape feels a million miles away 🌊 🌴 Swathes of sand dunes dominate the south (and remind me of my childhood home in North Norfolk) whilst in the north a rocky outcrop provides elevated hiking trails that are akin to those found in Scandinavia. 😍 Just look at this view! 😍 After catching the 10:15am ferry service from St Mary’s Fred and I spent a few hours in the magnificent Tresco Abby Gardens before making our way slowly (there were so many picture perfect views to photograph) up the eastern side of the island. We stopped for lunch at The Ruin Beach Café (highly recommended, their superfood salad is divine and enormous!) and then made our way up to the most northern tip of the island where we found this epic view. I hope you’re enjoying my Scilly Isles pics, because I’m going to be hitting you with them for at least another week! #sponsoredtrip #connectscilly #mytresco

I'm genuinely struggling to choose which pictures

I'm genuinely struggling to choose which pictures of my stay in the Scilly Isles to share with you. If you've been watching my Instagram stories you'll have seen the countless scenic views I've snapped during my time here. There's a picturesque view at every turn and it's becoming clear that the islands are like those Instagram models we all can't quite believe are so beautiful - there's no hope of catching them off guard and taking a bad photo, they just look amazing all the time 📸 So here's one of the hundreds of postcard worthy views I've enjoyed today. A classic and one that every visitor to the Scilly Isles will see - looking across St Mary's Harbour to the main Quay where the St Mary's Boatman run boat trips off island. Wish you were here? I'm sure going to when I have to leave 🌴 ☀ 🌊 #connectscilly #sponsoredtrip

Currently having a “Mrs Durrell” moment here on St Martin’s – has anyone else been watching ITV’s The Durrells?!! I’m imagining what life would be like if I packed up and moved to this tiny sub-tropical island 🌴 I’m guessing when the weather was like this it’d be like living in paradise! I’ve been blown away by the pristine natural beauty of the Scilly Isles, from the spring meadow flowers that litter the fields, to the distinctive coastlines that seem never ending, I’m totally charmed by English island life! I spent yesterday exploring St Martin’s (check my IG stories for more pics) and got the chance to snorkel with wild seals – see the video on my Facebook page 😉 – If the Scilly’s have just crossed your radar plant them firmly on your bucket list, I’m certainly going to be back ✈ #connectscilly #sponsoredtrip #myscilly #scillyisles
