Scarefest 2017 has officially started at Alton Towers Resort and if you’re a wimp like me you won’t be queuing for the haunted houses – but fear not, there’s plenty of Halloween fun to get up to for free this October!

Talk to anyone about travelling and the young will say they want to do it and the old will say they wish they did it – but how many people actually do?

After much deliberation over a date we were all available, I finally met up with some of my blogger pals on the Bank Holiday weekend for a lovely day gallivanting in Shrewsbury.

I’m partial to a bit of ‘live’ trip blogging so for the next 10 days I’ll be attempting to bring you a day by day account of my trip to Punta Gorda, Florida.
