My memories of a summer in 'The Shambles'

The Shambles ~ Summer 2023

My memories of a summer in 'The Shambles'

Brought to (second) life by the talented Tolla Crisp. 

'The Shambles' returned for the summer with beautiful vistas, relaxing corners to meet up with friends, lovely walks and a fun beach ... all in all a perfect place to forget the woes of both worlds and just be immersed in english summer beauty.

The 'real life' Shambles, in York dates back to the 14th century, a narrow, cobbled street in the city originally known for its many butcher shops. One of the most popular tourist destinations in York, it is often cited as one of the most picturesque streets in the world, which is easy to see with it's timber buildings and old-world ambience that has been preserved in large parts.

Tolla beautifully re-imagined the world that once was and extended the vibe into a wider village setting, with beautiful woodland walks along a river, a camping spot and even a beach setting. The absolute fun part was, of course, the mega high Bungee Jump Tower.

It is gone for now, but fingers crossed, it will be back at some point in the future...maybe even for Halloween.

Thank you, Tolla for a beautiful summer location and the memories x

To see my memories of a summer in The Shambles in a photo video slideshow, here is the YouTube link.

Winterset Hollow in Second Life

My memories of a truly magical place in Secondlife ~ Winterset Hollow ~ 

Inspired by a vintage swedish winter village, brought to (second) life by the talented Tolla Crisp and Terry Fotherington. 

We were treated to an immersive and inspirational landscape, perfect for long walks and forgetting everything for a while and just 'being in the moment'.

There was a wonderful Ice Rink and Sled rides for the more avtive travellers, those in a more relaxed mode could take a Zip line going all the way up to a little snack-stop restaurant on an overlook platform with a stunning view over the landcape...walking for hours through the forests and fields, finding little dotted around homes and making friends with the many friendly animals finally returning to the cozy 'main street' with welcoming food establishments to warm your feet and your soul.

Absolutely beautiful!

Winterset Hollow is gone for now, hoping it will return once again next season x

x Thank you for the memories x 

Here is my photo album with some of my favourite views of Winterset Hollow, the choice was difficult, had I chosen all my favourite photos, the album would be hours of viewing pleasure, as it is it, I condensed it to a mere 6-ish minutes :)

Visiting ' Holiday Magic' in Secondlife


A perfect Winter Holiday destination with lots of activities and places to relax and enjoy the season; a fun zip-line providing a fantastic view, skating and dancing the night (and day) away on the romantic ice rink, taking walks through a magically illuminated world and cosy up in a carriage enjoying all the photgenic spots the location has to offer; followed by a stylish dinner.

~ I preserved my memories in a musical slideshow ~

Visiting 'Tis the Season ~ Winter Wonderland at Moochie in Second Life

  Visiting

'Tis the Season ~ Winter Wonderland at Moochie

It's always a magical experience to visit Moochie in Second Life, whatever the season ... the Winter Wonderland is simply enchanting. Walk through the twinkling forest, snuggle up in one of the many somewhat secret nook sand crannies, enjoy a hot chocolate by the camp fire with friends after having a jolly good go at sledging or ice skating across the rather sizeable frozen lake or grab a reindeer led sled and explore the Wonderland in style. A fun festive market is set up by the lake with lots of produce, festive gifts and treats to choose from. Relax at the lakeside restaurant and take in the seasonal atmosphere with some fine food.

Don't forget to grab the free postcards to send out or keep as a souvenir ... it'll be another year before the magic will return.

I collected some photo memories and created a musical slideshow as a little souvenir.
