Pearson Home Moving Review of Chester

Lets head to Chester, Chester is a great place to visit! This place has got a great feel to it. It has a old fashion fell to it with the old styled building in the town centre and shopping areas. The night life is pretty good to. There is plenty of restaurants to eat and bars to venture into.  Also if you like visiting Zoos there is a really good one in Chester. The admission is a little bit more expensive that  most zoos but well worth the visit. 

Pearson Home Moving review of New Quay

There has been reports that there has been two months of rain in 24 hour in the UK.  Well we have been in to Newquay over the weekend and Saturaday was a lovely day but at 2am Sunday morning the rain began.  And it didn't stop all day plus being on the coast means you get the sea breeze, or should I say gale winds haha. 

It rained that much the roof started to leak at the hotel we was in. 

While we have been down there we tried out a few bars clubs and restaurants.

The best resurant we can recommend is a place called Steams.

It is in a great location over looking the coastline. The food is really nice and excellent value for money.

Suitable for families couples and groups. 

9/10

We also when to over bars and clubs and found a bar and night club call Berties was the best. 

Music was varied but that cant be a bad thing because everybody can enjoy it. 

The atmosphere was good and lively. 

These two recommendations are 100 meters from one another so for the ladies who are in heels dont worry its in waling distance. 

Pearson Home Moving review of Aberystwyth

Aberystwyth is located on the coast of mid Wales.  This is a small town that on the coast. It has got all the quality you can a imagine of a small town. Unique shops  such as local craft shops, candy stores etc.

There is a nice resturant on the pier that overlooks the sea. This is especially nice when the sun is setting. also there is a arcade to entertain the kids. 

The beach is a peppy not sandy. If you want a sandy beach you will need to travel north to Borth. 

Pearson Home Moving Costa Blanca

The image above is of a  beach of the Costa Blanca, a resort area south of Valencia. With its stunning views and blue skies and clear water. This is a beautiful holiday destination. or if you are looking to relocate to a sunny location. 

Pearson home moving at Wollaton Hall and Deer Park

Pearson has taken a trip to Wollinton Hall in Nottingham. The building was built between 1580 and 1588. There is plenty of grounds to walk around on a nice summers day. The house is impressive but compare to other manor house located around the Uk it is quite small. Wollinton Hall and Deer Park is currently a council owned building, this is rare because most manor houses located in the UK are managed but the national trust.
The hall is open to the general public free of charge. but you will have to pay for the the car parking. The parking costs are £2.00 for 3 hours or £4.00 for all day.
Also in the court yard there is a engine museum that costs £2 per person.
If you fancy a bit to eat there is a cafe on site. Seating is limited on a bad day but if the weather is fine, the cafe does provide plenty of seating outside.
This is a great budget day out.

Pearson Home Moving review of Harlaxton Manor

Harlaxton College is the British campus of the University of Evansville in Indiana, USA.  They main aim is to "we are—to state it simply and directly—one of the finest study-abroad campuses anywhere in the world."

This is set in the British country side and surround by English heritage. But filled with the state of the art technology

Pearson Home Moving review of Harlaxton Manor

Lets bring it back to the UK. Near the Nottingham, Linconshire the is a monor house that was built in the 1800's. 

It was used in the film The Haunting (1999) I can under stand why with its gothic exterior is the ideal setting for a horror movie. 

You can visit this manor house any time through out the year. It is currently used a university campus but you can stay the night as a guess. The grounds are so big  they have wedding venues there to while the campus is open. 

It is well worth the visit if you are into English heritage and Gothic architecture, Or if you are planning on getting married. 

Pearson Home Moving Gibratar

Gibraltar is located south of Spain. 

The Images above show the airport from two angles. The airport is very short and both ends will result in landing in water. If the pilot misjudges the landing or taking off. 

The tempture can go as low as 10 degrees and the highest is 28 degrees. This small part of the world has a interesting landscape.

What is good is when you are coming to land and you see the view of the mountain side and the clear blue sea. It put a great holiday feeling when you arrive.

Pearson Home Moving Review about Norway and Sweden

WOOOOOOOOW Look at this for a shot!!!! This is a totally wicked shot of a skier ploughing through the snow. Plus the camera angle is brilliant.  If you was ever planning to this I would move to Sweden of Norway to do this full time! The are plenty of places to live around these ski resorts so are in driving distances. If you are thinking about trying this out you should try the french or swiss aples. Plus if you look at any good tour operator and you will find good deals for skiing holidays. 

Pearson Home Moving reviews of Venice

This is a traditional shot of Venice on a summers day. It gives you a true insight to the wonder of Venice. I like how active this shot is. You have got the gonadals on the water, the different styles of bridges and how active the bridges are.  

If you search the internet for Bora Bora. You will find hundreds of stunning images of the Islands. They Island is located on the South Pacific. 

As you can see from the images the accommodation on the island, well on the water. Is nothing but the luxury. These apartments are built to the highest standard. Staying here is not cheap but if money isn’t a problem of you really want to treat yourself. Also as you can tell the weather there is always stunning as the furniture is located on the decking. This is the totally relaxing place to be. 

Mont Saint-Michel

What a beautiful, well situated castle. Back in its day it would have been the best defensiveness castle of its time.  Pearson Home Moving would recommend visiting this castle. For Its location and how well preserved it is. I could sum this castle in one word… Grand!

It is located towards the north of France and was established in the 8th century. Wow!!! How on earth did they construct this magnificent structure back then and fighting against the tide.

La Potherie Estate

This magnifcsent castle was built in the 19^th century. It was built for the Count and the Countess of La Rochefoucauld-Bayers constructed on their La Potherie Estate, a new grand castle in the neogothic style. They chose a very famous architect from Paris, Louis Visconti. He was famous since he designed the Louvre extension. They asked him to design the new Chateau to replace the 16^th century one and asked Rene Hode a famous architect from angers to build the castle. The construction began in1848 and was finished in 1854. The design was a classic arrangement one rectangle with 4 towers, very large-60 meters long, 37 meter deep and 47 meters high- 120 rooms on 5 levels with an abundance of limestone sculptures made by Jacques Granneau, student of David D'Angers.
At the death of her husband, Ida de la Potherie, Countess of la Rochefoucauld-Bayers finished the construction of the Castle and continued to finish her and her husbands dream.
All this architectural construction in the village made this place one of the great private French residence in the 19th century. Because of the ambiance of the total property the Castle Chateau de La Potherie was named the "neogothic jewel in Anjou" or "The Petite Chambord".
Situated on beautiful grounds, the Chateau complex makes up one corner of a small village, which also has shops, a cathedral, and many summer events. The Chateau is now open for both overnight guests and day visitors, and also hosts wedding receptions and other events, your chateau holidays in France.

The Chateau de Challain is located only thirty minutes outside the town of Angers in the Loire Valley, the region of Castles, and only one and a half hours from Paris by TGV (High Speed Train). The Castle is easy to get to from England and Ireland by flying direct into Nantes airport. The Castle is situated at the corner of a quaint village in the western Loire Valley region of France. The ultimate destination for your destination Castle Weddingor Romantic Bed & Breakfast

What a view from Notre Dame

You can also pay to go to the top of notre dame. Dont get me wrong there is loads of  steps to get to the top but its worth it. 

There is always a queue to get in but its only like 20 minutes. The architectural design of the building is really impressive. and when you get out side you will see the gargoyles.  Is hard to believe the condition of these Statues because of how old they are.  

As you can see from the Image above you get a good view of the river seine and in the distance you will see the Eiffel Tower.

Pearson Home Moving in Paris

Pearson Home Moving in Paris. This is a image taken on a river boat trip on the river Seine. It is a nice summers day in Paris and we are currently heading towards Notre Dame. The more common image of Notre dame is taken from the front. But I thought it would be different to take a picture from the rear. I like this because the architectural design has got a Gothic sort of theme to it.

Pearson by the Trevi Fountain

As you elbow your way through the summertime crowds around the Trevi Fountain, you'll find it hard to believe that this little piazza was nearly always deserted before the film Three Coins in the Fountain brought the stampede of tour buses. Today this newly restored gem is a must on everybody's itinerary.

Supplied by water from the Acqua Vergine aqueduct and a triumph of the baroque style, it was based on the design of Nicolo Salvi and was completed in 1762. The design centers on the triumphant figure of Neptunus Rex, standing on a shell chariot drawn by winged steeds and led by a pair of tritons. Two allegorical figures in the side niches represent good health and fertility.

On the southwestern corner of the piazza is a somber SS. Vincenzo e Anastasio, with a strange claim to fame. Within it survive the hearts and intestines of several centuries of popes. According to legend, the church was built on the site of a spring that burst from the earth after the beheading of St. Paul; the spring is one of the three sites where his head is said to have bounced off the ground.

Pearson Home Moving in Vatican City

Lets Take a trip to Vatican City. The City within a city.The home of the Pope Benedict XVI. This is a truly wonderful place to visit. The condition of the sculptures are in really good condition. When we went there was hundreds of people gathered in the center just admiring the area. But on Sundays when the the pope does his speech. the place it full. 

Pearson at the Eiffel tower

Wow this a great prospective of the the Eiffel tower. Out of all the constructions in France this has got to be one of the best. If you ever get the chance to go there you really should. Also if you are thing of relocating you really should get family and friend over to France to see it.  

The queues are pretty bad but well worth the wait. and the shop is expensive but at least you can say you have brought a souvenir from the Eiffel tower.

Pearson In Italy

Could You imagine how Windy it is here. Especially When you have waves this high crashing on your door step. You must be hard to live here. 

I bet when its sunny you get some amazing views. If anyone has been there could you please add a pic. I would like to compare the images.

Pearson home moving in Lichfield. Lichfield is a small village in the Staffordshire. It very similar to walking around stratford upon Avon. The birthplace of William Shakespeare. There is a bit of history around there but it has got an impressive cathedral. On a nice summers day it is quite a impressive sight. 

If you travel on a Sunday you will find more free parking spaces. and it tends to be a little bit quieter on a Sunday. 

Also a good placer to eat is the Bowling green which is located in the middle of a roundabout which is fun to drive around because you cant find the entrance. 

Pearson Home Moving In Derby

Pearson has traveled to Derby. I didnt think that there was much in Derby but I was wrong. It a proper good uni city. There are plenty of bars and resturants. Loads of students doing there thing. Also there is a massive Westfield there so you can spend loads of money.

Pearson home moving would recommend that you be carful where you park your car. Because there is loads of traffic wardens. But the is a car park called ParkSafe. This is the Safest carpark in Europe. 

Pearson visits the Colosseum

I think this is a great picture of the  Colosseum  . I may have mentioned before that the Colosseum is a good place to visit in Rome.If you are going on holiday or moving over there. You should defo visit it. and the surround landmarks there.

Golden Gate Bridge

Lets take a visit to the states, We are heading to towards San Fransico. I have participial fond of the golden gate bridge. It a true engineering accomplished. 

It is over 1900 meter long and 230 meters height. 

The construction took place on January 5, 1933 and was finished April 19, 1937. 

You only pay to use the toll road when you are heading south. 

Thats Pearson fact of the day. 

Pearson review of WestField London

Westfield London

OMG it is massive and the architectural is simply amazing. Also for a nice change there is a section within the Westfield that is called the Viliage.

It is you top store like DKNY, Tiffany, Calvin Klein also there was a champayne bar. OMG how the other half live

British Museums

I went to the British Museums a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. The grand entrance is impressive. You can spend hours walking around looking at all the artifacts.
I is a must be place to visit if you travel to London. 

Pearson visits the British Museum

The courtyard at the heart of the British Museum is the largest enclosed public space in Europe. Its glazed canopy is a fusion of state-of-the-art engineering and economy of form. A new kind of public space – a cultural plaza – the Great Court resonates beyond the confines of the Museum to provide a new civic amenity for London.

Pearson Berlin population fact

Welcome to Berlin. 

This is the capital Germany. The current population is 3,490,445 million.

The average low temp is 5.9 degrees and the average highs of 13 degrees. 

Surfing What a Sport

In my opinion Surfing is the best sport there is. You get a real good work out and if you are in a tropical place were you don't need to wear a wet suit. You can get a proper good tan lol.

Don't get me wrong its not a sport for the faint hearted. I started back in 2005 in Bude, Cornwall, UK. On a body board. It was so much fun even the little waves were fun when you could get on them lol. Then I want on a few surf school classes and went from there. I try to get to the coast a many times a year as possible.

But over the years I have traveled to different parts of the world to get bigger and dangerous waves.

If you ever get the opportunity to be inside the wave before it breaks is breath taking.

The Big Apple

Lets take a trip over to the Big apple. 

A few facts.

The current Major is Michael Bloomberg.  The temperature vary quite alot, in the winter the temperature can go down to -3 degrees and in the summer it can hit 30 degrees. They have a lot of snow over the year. It averages about 68 cm. 

Also this is the home place to the statue of liberty. Thousands of tourist come and visit the island to see this great monument. 

Pearson review of Egypt

Its time to visit one of the wonders of the world. The great Pyramids are a truly outstanding sight. How they could build such a HUGE construction at that time is simply amazing. But they didnt just do one they did three of them. They have surely  stud the test of time.

Great adventures have been undertaken to uncover the  secrets of the ancients. If you don't get chance to visit the great Pyramids. you can travel to the British museum in London. They have hundred of artifacts under one roof.

Pearsons review of Dubai

Let visit on of the world most rapidly growing cities. This has become a place for holiday makers and business development.

This city has great weather. stunning reviews. Very clean. You have got to be aware of the cultures over because you done want to upset anyone.

The architecture of the buildings are quite something as you can tell from the world famous hotel. ( see image above).

It is an expensive place to visit from what ive been told. A couple of my fiends have been on honey moons there.

I went with a couple of friends.  This was such an adventure. we hired a motor home and traveled across the Eastern coast.  We started at Melbourne and all the way up to Brisbane. We made so may friends on this trip and a few lady friends lol. This country is simply amazing. the atmosphere is great and the people are so laid back. Food was great plenty of great nights on the beach. I would defo do this again if I had the Cash.

Pearson Trip to New Zealand

This is one of many beautiful pictures that have been taken from backpackers in New Zealand. This is a wonderful county, the people are so friendly and laid back. Every mile you travel you will see a new and stunning scenery. I when there a few years ago and laded in Auckland. One of the first things I did was to bungee job of the pie in the sky lol. I travel all over the northern Island seen some wonderful things. Then after a few weeks i traveled down to Wellington And spent some time down there. The most impressive part for me was seeing the penguins in the snow in Otago.

Pearson summer holidays

The new year has started and its time to start thinking about the summer break. I can wait to be lieing on a beach like this with a cool breeze and the sun burning my skin a lovely color of red lol. Also taking a dip in the warm sea water. It seems such along time away but it will be well worth the wait. 

S.Pearson

Pearson wishes everyone a Happy New Year
