One of my favourite things to spend my time doing is exploring. I love to go to new places and wander my way around seeing what there is to see and photograph. There are lots of layouts in my gallery covering various trips we’ve been on over the last few years. I made this one about part of our trip to Italy with the July Special Edition.

I love to travel as far and wide as I can given the constraints of real life (I’d love to go on a grand tour of Europe, but we’ll just have to do it in sections!) but sometimes new experiences can be just around the corner.

The photographs in my layout were taken at a seaside resort just a short drive from home, we go there regularly, but we normally spend our time on the watersports beach rather than in the ‘touristy’ section. My daughter had recently mentioned that she’d quite like to try ‘Crazy Golf’ and we knew that Clacton has a fun pirate themed Adventure Golf course. My husband and I had played before, years ago, but there are new experiences everywhere when you’re 10! I chose to emphasis the seaside theme over the pirates, so I chose to use Scotty Girl’s Beachside Boardwalk collection.

I hope that seeing my layouts inspires you to document your own adventures and explorations Don’t forget to check out today’s challenge over in the forums!
