Frenglish Expedition

[frenglishexpedition]

To welcome 2026, we climbed Moel Famau in the Clwydian Range. 🗻🏕

Just before midnight, the entire horizon, along the North Wales coast, across the Wirral, and all the way to Liverpool, started flickering with fireworks. 🎉🎆 Tiny flashes everywhere, towns and cities lighting up at once. Around 200-300 people had made the climb too, counting down together in the cold, standing in the wind on the steps of the tower.

Cold, windy, unforgettable. A very special way to begin the year ✨

Happy New Year 2026 ✨

Year transitions aren’t always easy. For us, the past year was a heavy one, and we had to take time to focus on ourselves and our family first. We know many people have been navigating similar things, quietly and in their own way.

As we turn toward the year ahead, we’re choosing hope. We’re looking forward to sharing more stories, places we visit, and the things we create, and hopefully being a bit more present again, including at markets and in real life.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your support. It truly means more than we can say 🤍 Here’s to a brighter year ahead.

Scenic Saturday took us to Frodsham, and it delivered!

We explored Castle Park, visited a cute little art centre, stumbled upon some spooky church ruins, and climbed the big hill for that beautiful view from the war memorial 💙

An easy, beautiful day out from the city!

Remember the charcoal bowls?

Time to see if they can be saved.We soaked them in a 1:1 glue and water mix to strengthen the fragile wood.

One cleaned up beautifully… But the other is still in pieces — glued together, yes, but full of gaps.

What's next for the black bowl? Find out in Part 3.

What happens when you try to save woodworm-infested bowls with a fire treatment?

Let’s just say… things didn’t go exactly to plan.

One bowl turned to charcoal, the other barely made it out alive.

Curious? Part II shows what I try next 👀🔥

Leeds is such a vibe 🧭

Historic details, modern energy, and those classic British skies.

I loved wandering through the Corn Exchange and getting lost in the city’s charm.

📿✨ Fimo Friday!

Today, I crafted colorful friendship bracelet pendants and Azul-inspired tokens using polymer clay canes.

Creativity and gameplay go hand in hand! 🎨💪

Some days, it’s just me and her exploring together.

Through the rustling leaves and along the winding paths, she’s my little adventure buddy. 🌲🐈‍⬛✨
