I’m Sue, the founder of Out and About with Sue. What started out as a hobby blog, attempting to introduce readers to the delightful and delectable tearooms that decorate our fair shores, whilst exploring our wonderful countryside and all that encompasses, I began to realise that I wanted more out of this ‘journal’. My aim is to enrich, be positive and justify, while embracing who we are, whatever age throws at us.
As I have grown in self-confidence, self-awareness and certainly matureness – although my children may dispute this – I want to share my struggles and face the challenges that life hurls at us, and I’m sure most of us will agree, there are plenty.
I was recently reading a blog by a writer of some note, who said that writing is honest, that in privacy you can be more truthful than you normally would be. I don’t find that to be true, we can write whatever we want and be whoever we decide to be and it is up to you, the reader, to decide what you believe to be true.
Its true what they say about life being a never-ending journey, for me it’s the never-ending process of discovery. I genuinely believe our perceptions change, and a lot of mis-conceptions abound and how we arrive at that belief is something that needs understanding, tolerance and patience.
Pinkie promise, I’m not going to drone on about ‘self self self’, instead I hope you are going to enjoy, relate, contribute and impart your own thoughts and aspirations, whilst accompanying me on my holistic journey across the country in the search for better understanding and a greater wisdom – whilst letting yourself become immersed in all that nature offers. I hope to offer places and locations from around the country that everyone from all walks of life will enjoy.

Admittedly, I have never been one of life’s great visionaries, but always believed that our retirement would consist of travelling the width and breadth of our beautiful country in our beloved ‘box’ on wheels – and always proud to be a caravaner. The meaning of to retire is ‘the withdrawal from one’s occupation or from…
Andalusia, Spain.
Hubby and I were recently invited out to Spain for a couple of weeks, by our son Chris and hubby Alex, to stay at Alex’s mum Sue’s newly acquired villa in a small village surrounded by the breath-taking mountains of the Baetic System, often snow-capped in the winter months. Although, when we travelled at the…
Levens Hall, Kendal.
Now be honest, would you expect any of our modern builds to be around in several centuries time? Nope, nor me. Elizabethan architecture is something to behold, with its glittering expanse of glazing, displaying large mullioned and decorative windows, Levens Hall is stunning. Full of fascinating artefacts linking the hall and its occupants to the…
