In one final look back at 2021 highlights (after the Scotland road trip blog bombardment), I wanted to share some photographs from probably my favourite week of the year. Back in late May, we escaped London for a week in … Continue reading
You made it to the final instalment in our Scottish roadtrip adventure! Thank you for indulging me in some serious reminiscing from a fabulous holiday so many months ago. We were sorry to bid farewell to Skye, but we had … Continue reading
Matt and I first visited Skye back in 2008 on our honeymoon. Back then, we visited with big plans to hike in the Cuillin Mountains. But the weather during our trip was so bad, we didn’t even see the peaks … Continue reading
After our week in Crieff, we drove through beautiful Glen Coe to reach Fort William. It was a cloudy, atmospheric day and looked just stunning as Matt and I bored the children with tales of our West Highland Way adventures … Continue reading
So as I promised in my 2021 lookback, one of our real highlights of last year was our Scottish roadtrip. Back in July/August we headed north of the border for over two weeks of adventures. We flew into Edinburgh, picked … Continue reading
It’s hard to know where to start. It’s been eight months since I’ve posted on my blog and I feel very sad that I’ve not been able to keep it going during 2021. Work has been relentless for so long … Continue reading

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
