Our new series comes from online UK travel guide This is Your Kingdom, whose handpicked contributors explore favourite places, special finds and great goings on.

You can read about one we love each month in The Simple Things - turn to page 68 of the June issue for more of this Northumberland glamping adventure - and plenty of others at thisisyourkingdom.co.uk.

 

Jen Chillingsworth is a regular contributor to thisisyourkingdom.co.uk. She is a freelance writer and photographer based in Yorkshire and blogs at little-birdie.com. She shares her northern adventures on Instagram as @jenlittlebirdie.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
