[vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1499254227877{padding-top: 0px !important;}"] It was always going to be a very different kind of holiday. I mean, it was our first foreign holiday with a baby, so we knew we wouldn't exactly be sipping cocktails by the pool, or dancing the night away in a club, you know? (Er, not ...
Now, I'll be honest: when it comes to travel, Bruges wasn't particularly high on my bucket list - not because I had any negative feelings about the place, I hasten to add, but purely because it hadn't really made it onto my radar. It's easy to get to from Kent, though, ...
I should probably start this post by saying that this is not going to be my usual kind of holiday roundup - because this was not our usual kind of holiday. I have hardly any photos to remember it by, for one thing: or, rather, I do, but most of them ...
It's been almost a year now since Terry and I took our last winter break to Tenerife, and over two months since the miraculous recovery of the GoPro memory card, which, as some of you might recall, we lost down the side of my parents' couch the day we got ...
Those of you worrying that I'm about to embark on my biggest weather-related rant ever: relax. Actually, I probably could work some "complaining about the weather" into this post if I tried, because a) I always do, and b) I woke up to snow again this morning, but as it happens, ...
You know how people are always saying they like it when bloggers wear the same things over and over again, because it's so much more "relatable" or something? I'm REALLY hoping people actually mean it when they say that, because oh hey, look, it's that white blazer again! Worn with the same ...
Zoos aren't normally my kind of thing. In fact, seeing animals in captivity just makes me feel really sad, so, for the most part, a trip to an animal park wouldn't be high on my agenda. Someone recommended Tenerife Monkey Park to us years ago, though, and we enjoyed it so much ...
I completely forgot it was Easter this weekend. I mean, I say I "forgot" - I didn't even know in the first place, because when you're self-employed, and work from home, national holidays have a tendency to pass you by, really. I remember Christmas, but only because it's on the same ...
So, we're going to the Canary Islands. Tenerife, to be exact. Yes, AGAIN. We've been to the Canaries quite a few times now on last-minute winter sun holidays, and I'll be honest: I hesitated to even mention this one, because the thing is, there's a bit of stigma about the Canary Islands. When ...
On our last day in Kent, Terry and I decided to make a pilgrimage to Canterbury, with a knight, a monk, a prioress, a miller and man of law. Oh no, wait: that's Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, isn't it? MY Canterbury Tales will be almost as long (and probably just as ...
What do you do when you're scared of heights, and you want to see as much of London as you can, in a very short space of time? Why, you book yourself a couple of tickets on The London Eye, of course! The London Eye was my idea (Er, going on ...
On the south tip of England sits Britain's only desert. Dungeness is one of Europe's largest expanses of shingle, and home to an odd assortment of houses (many of them converted from old rail carriages), two lighthouses, a power station, and a miniature railway. It also happens to be home to The ...
♥ Topshop skirt (via eBay) ♥ River Island top ♥ River Island shoes Slightly different backdrop for the ol' outfit photos this week, folks! If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you may know that Terry and I spent the weekend in the south of England, flying down on Friday morning ...
Unlike me, Terry does not feel compelled to write down every single thing that ever happens to him. (I guess that's what he has me for, mind you.) When we go on holiday, however, he does like to record our movements, in a little journal I bought him after his ...
First up: thank you all so much for the lovely comments on my last post. Blogging can seem like a bit of a thankless task sometimes (especially when people like the lovely Jellybean decide to get in touch), so the support from everyone who commented on that post was very ...
