After months and months stuck in SE London for lockdown, we finally escaped the capital for a tentative holiday in early August. We booked a cottage in a Sussex village just over an hour from home with our friend Katharine … Continue reading
I’m sitting in a cottage at Coombe Mill in Cornwall at the end of a wonderful Christmas week away with my family. It’s been a peaceful, much-needed week away from the bustle of London and work. I’ve been thinking about … Continue reading
We kept heading south for our final road trip destination of 2019. Longing for some mountain air, we ventured into the foothills of the Pyrenees to stay in a completely different campsite to the rest of our trip. The Sunelia … Continue reading
Our third camping destination of our French road trip was in the Dordogne region in south west France. We chose another Huttopia campsite, this time in Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne. On its own little island in the Dordogne, it was a wonderful location. … Continue reading
Sorry for the interruption in my summer roadtrip write up. I’ve been busy launching another website at work and celebrating a certain young man’s 9th birthday (more on that soon…) After our flying visit to the Normandy coast, we began … Continue reading
After last year’s successful European camping roadtrip, I found myself to agreeing to another camping adventure this summer. And unlike last year, where we spent part of our trip either staying with friends or in an Airbnb, I somehow suggested … Continue reading
You’ve made it to the final post of our Welsh adventure! During our week in North Wales, we squeezed in one final walk before heading South. On our final full day, the weather was terrible across Snowdonia and Anglesey, but … Continue reading

I’m back! It is so nice to get back to the blog after a bit of a break. Since Christmas, I’ve been overwhelmed with work and have had to devote pretty much all my spare time to it. And so, … Continue reading
So here’s part two of my posts about our Easter break in Whitstable. Two of my favourite days were when we explored the local area by foot and bike. There are a couple of well-marked paths that lead from Whitstable … Continue reading
Just before Easter weekend, we escaped the capital to spend a week down in pretty Whitstable. We visited last year for a weekend, and had so much fun we wanted to see more. It’s such an easy place for us … Continue reading
A friend of mine asked about my blog at the weekend and whether I was still keeping it up. Recent evidence suggests I’m not, but hopefully it’s just a temporary lapse. 2019 has been even more crazy for me than … Continue reading
A few weeks ago we headed down to the New Forest for a weekend away. The weather forecast was pretty grim but we were determined to get outside in the forest for at least part of our trip – and … Continue reading
Last weekend, we were back up in Scotland for a flying visit. It was a very special occasion. My grandparents both turned 90 years old this year and so my family all gathered outside Edinburgh to celebrate with them. My … Continue reading
