The Smart Leisure Guide

Vivien Devlin member of the British Guild of Travel Writers

Vivien is a beautiful writer of SMART leisure guides. Extremely thorough in her research you can be certain of an honest opinion with accurate recommendations. We are then extremely proud to have been scrutinised by Vivien and delighted to be included in her ‘Smart Guide’ – she has magically produced an article which is both interesting, historical and enticing! If only we had her talent.

Why is hers a SMART Leisure Guide?

She plans to offer fabulous, fun and unusual ideas to liven up weekends and time off from work: smart as in a wise move such as good value; smart as in sassy and stylish; smart as in being good to yourself, keeping fit and healthy; smart as in art and culture.

Through her regular blogs, she recommends hotels, restaurants, bars and pubs, art galleries, beauty salons and spas, city walks, countryside rambles, shares her love of books, theatre, music, along with little titbits on what to do and where to go in your leisure time.

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows…”

―William Henry Davies
