Celibate and Sane: Romantic Destinations in the UK

Romantic Destinations in the UK

Years ago, I recall reading a list of some silly place names in the USA and Australia. I had forgotten about it until just recently when by accident I found the place names "Little Snoring" and "Great Snoring" in the UK.

(FYI: Little Snoring is a village north-north east of London in the county of Norfolk and Great Snoring is located in the east in the UK in North Norfolk.)

"Wow! What great names," I thought.

But rather than repeat what's already been done multiple times by others, ie create a list of the silliest names , I thought it would be nice to find some lovely romantic ones.

Then if anyone wants to go for a honeymoon for example, one of the couple might like to organise a trip to romantic sounding destinations.

Here then is a list of places in the UK:

Caring
Church Town
Cupid's Hill
Darling’s Hill, Darling Fell, Darling How, Darling Field,
Fancy
Gentleman’s Cave
Heart's Delight
Honeypot
Husbandtown
Kissock, Kissthorn Farm
Loves Green, Lover, Lover’s Lake, Love lane, Love Lodge, Loves, Lover’s Leap, Loves Farm, Love’s Hill
Red Roses
Sweet Bit
Sweet Hope
Sweetheart Abbey
Truelove
Valentine's Park (London)
Weddington
Yearn Hope

I then thought that as a single woman,I could create single women's tours with the second last place on the tour being at Husbandtown and the final destination being Truelove. Mmmm, sounds like a winner!

But I would definitely have to say that my favourite romantic destination in the UK is "Isle of Ewe" off the coast of Scotland.

Personal Quotes from Vicki-S

"Occasionally I find my breakfast a little bitter, and sometimes it's difficult to chew and swallow; though at other times it's sweet, but it’s very satisfying and always sustains me. My most important meal of the day, is feasting on God’s Word and drinking up His presence."

I love me, because God loves me. It's not that God doesn't see my flaws, they are like blazing torches in His eyes, but rather that He sees past my imperfections and still loves me. And who am I to argue with the perfect God that I am worthwhile, that I am worthy of love, and that He accepts me and wants me to be His child, His beloved daughter? When I understood this, I began to accept and embrace His version and His vision of me, and not the world's.

"The silent treatment and sulking are simply two other weapons in the arsenal of the manipulator."

"Often people use the metaphor of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon to describe how we can grow from difficult experiences, but what they don't mention is the fact that at first we start off as an ugly caterpillar."

"We so often just get caught up in trying to just get through each day, that we forget to pause and be thankful for the fresh one that is presented anew and untouched each morning."

"Contrary to what we might think, forgiveness isn't so much about healing our relationship with that other person, but about healing our own broken heart."

"The purpose of school reunions is to show off how much you've achieved in life, to laugh at the once popular kids who've aged more quickly than you; and to wince at the guy who was a bully in school and who aptly became a policeman."

"I've found in many organisations where volunteers are needed, including the modern-day church, that 80% of its people sit back and let everyone else do most of the work, then there's the 10% who actually make the place run, and the remaining 10% just like to whinge about the 10% doing the work, especially about how they could do it better."

"When traced back to its source, every sin, every despicable act, and every war was motivated by someone's selfishness."

"I do not want to think of man, for that would distract me from God. But if I focus on God, I cannot help but think of my fellow man, and each day God keeps the scales balanced so that I have enough within me to do both."

"Overcoming depression isn’t about changing ones attitude, or just ‘getting on’ with things, it’s like removing one’s personal black shroud one thread at a time, with ones teeth.”
