One thing is for sure – Covid made the staycation fashionable and more popular than ever! I mean I have always loved visiting different parts of the UK, but it is not that long ago that we literally couldn’t really visit anywhere else. We were trapped on a beautiful island and instead of browsing flight […]
I often write about the benefits of getting outside in the wintertime, whatever the weather. I love the coast and regularly chose it to be the theme of my travel musings on the Patricia Bech Travel Notes. Most people associate the coast with warm summer days. Sunbathing, swimming, tropical fish, ice cream vans… the list […]
There are rumours swirling that travel restrictions will ease for people who have received both shots of the vaccination when freedom day arrives. I cannot wait for July 19th so that we can at least make some steps back towards how life used to be and I can start writing about trips away for my […]
This summer, I am hoping to be able to travel somewhere. Even if we are not allowed to get on a plane, there are so many nice places to visit in the UK. Today I thought I would write a little bit about Scotland for the Patricia Bech Travel Notes. While it is not known […]

So the misery continues! We are facing yet another lockdown in the UK as a result of the increasing number of cases of Covid-19. When will this nightmare end? It is very frustrating but we must keep going with our resilient approach to try and drive down the disease while we wait for the vaccination […]
I am feeling very reflective today. I just want to say a big thank you to all my followers and readers of the Patricia Bech Travel Notes this year. It has been such a challenging time with the Covid-19 pandemic. It has touched so many people in a different way, but it has been particularly […]
