We’re Celebrating: National Bike Week 2013
Having started last Saturday (15th June), National Bike Week 2013 is in full swing with lots of exciting events taking place all over the country.

Whether that meant hosing down the rusty old two wheels from the back of the garage, or going out and buying a brand spanking new state-of-the-art cycling machine, we all started getting on our bikes.

Out and About: Ghost Hunting Experience in Gloucestershire
“Expect the unexpected” we were told after volunteering as potential ghost busters on a Red Letter Days overnight ghost hunting experience. With a long drive ahead to Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire, we discussed our views on ghost hunting on the way: Ali, a convert already; Issy, not convinced. What could possibly go wrong? Ali takes up the story on arrival: “The gate is padlocked with a four number combination. I try the year, I try the area dialling code, I try my birthday. Nothing happens. We are locked out. How to open the gate that gets you into the mansion grounds? (the first of many questions to present themselves as…

Out and About: Thames Dinner Cruise
Shuhena and Genevieve from Red Letter Days’ Bookings Team were lucky enough to sample one of our own dining experiences recently in the form of a Thames Dinner Cruise. They went down to Embankment where they boarded a glass sided boat, glided down The Thames and saw some stunning views, including a beautifully lit up Coca-Cola London Eye as shown below in electric blue mode. “The views of the city by night are stunning. Sometimes you just don’t realise how lucky you are living in London and this experience was a perfect reminder of how great our capital is” said Shuhena. As for the food on this Thames Dinner Cruise, the girls…
