I’m a traveller, constantly in motion and always looking out for the next adventure!

Debbie from Deb's World
Hello from Debbie!

Welcome to Deb’s World

This is the world according to me…in photos, words, stories and sometimes even poetry. It’s a fun creative outlet, and as a bonus I get to meet some amazing bloggers from all around the world.

I love an adventure and I always seem to find one  – or it finds me!  It keeps me feeling young :)

I’m living life to the fullest and embracing the challenges that come with midlife! I’m now a new grandmother as well and I am as happy as a pig in mud.

Please take your time exploring my world – it’s full of stories, travels, adventures, photos and love.

I appreciate your visit, your likes and any comments or feedback you care to leave me.  Feel free to share the love 😊

The Ashton Windmill was a great find while out on a walk through the lanes around Stone Allerton in Somerset. The joy of discovery is alive and well. . . . . . . #ruralengland #ashtonwindmill #visitengland #outforawalk #instaview #thesettairbnb #windmillsofinstagram #somerset #windmill #countrylane #favouriteseason🍁 #nsyftravel #novembervibes #ruralsomerset #visitsomerset #visitbritain #wanderlust #travelphoto #rurallife #travelthursday #awalkinthecountryside #wanderingtheworld #travelblogger #debsworld
A walk in the countryside of Somerset was a great way to banish the jet lag cobwebs. The hedges had just been trimmed and everything looked neat and tidy. Best news, we found a pub with a smokehouse on the way back to our Airbnb. It’s a shame you can’t smell the rural-ness 😂 . . . . . #ruralengland #freshairtherapy #visitengland #hedges #instaview #thesettairbnb #jetlag #somerset #countrylane #favouriteseason🍁 #nsyftravel #novembervibes #ruralsomerset #visitsomerset #visitbritain #wanderlust #travelphoto #rurallife #countrycottage #awalkinthecountryside #airbnbphoto #debsworld
Here comes the sun! One of the benefits of jet lag means we get to see a magnificent sunrise like this and watch it all unfold. . . . . . #morningsky #visitengland #redskyinthemorning #instasunrise #instaview #nofilter #thesettairbnb #jetlag #somerset #visitcheddargorge #favouriteplace #favouriteseason🍁 #nsyftravel #autumnvibes🍁 #novembervibes #awakeearly #cheddargorge #visitsomerset #visitbritain #wanderlust #travelphoto #cheddargorgeous #viewfrommywindow #welcometoanewday #airbnbphoto #debsworld
Love the red door! Just as well autumn is one of my favourite seasons. Loving the autumnal colours as we walk around the village. . . . . . #autumncolours🍂🍁 #reddoor #visitengland #morningwalkabout #cheddarvillage #instasunshine #instaview #morningwalk #somerset #visitcheddargorge #favouriteplace #favouriteseason🍁 #nsyftravel #walkingthedog #autumnvibes🍁 #novembervibes #cheddargorge #visitsomerset #visitbritain #wanderlust #travelphoto #cheddargorgeous #debsworld
So lovely to be visiting our granddaughter Dottie on World Prematurity Day. We’ve come all the way from Australia to Taunton and it’s very fitting to be here today - 90 days in NICU and counting. . . . . . . #prematurebaby #worldprematurityday #prematurityis #prematurebirth #grandparenting #worldprematurityday2019 #granddaughterlove #grandmalove #nicubaby #nicuawareness #nicu #lifeslittletreasuresfoundation #bornveryearly #babylove #tinybaby #bornat25weeks #blisscharity #debsworld @blisscharity @lltfoz
We’re back in Cheddar! This view of the gorge, over the tops of the chimneys, caught my eye this morning while out walking Ozzy dog! Not too cold out there considering we’ve left lovely spring temps at home in Australia 🇦🇺 . . . . . . #lookingupatcheddargorge #visitengland #morningwalkabout #cheddarvillage #nationaltrust #stressreliever #instasunshine #instaview #morningwalk #mendiphills #somerset #visitcheddargorge #favouriteplace #nsyftravel #walkingthedog #autumnvibes🍁 #novembervibes #cheddargorge #visitsomerset #visitbritain #wanderlust #travelphoto #cheddargorgeous #debsworld

Travelling is in my family's blood and since being forced into an early retirement (due to a redundancy) I'm making the most of my 'spare time'. Along with travel, Rotary, running, cycling, reading, photography and social media, I love to blog. The community network, continually learning new skills, and sharing ideas is a source of great joy. Other things that make me happy are my husband, our three grown up daughters and family. I now have two new granddaughters, and another on the way, and they all make me very happy too! Taking pleasure in the everyday beauty around us is essential to a happy life - take time to smell the roses! It costs nothing to smile :)
