I’m running training on blogging to a load of PhD students on Friday and realise I’m no longer a model blogger! I just remembered I didn’t finish writing about our Sussex holiday, so here is another photo laden post to … 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
It’s weeks and weeks since I’ve blogged. I confess after spending long days, evenings and weekends in front of my laptop trying to work through lockdown, I’ve not really fancied dedicating my limited free time to more screentime! But I … Continue reading
It’s six weeks now since our lockdown started, with the children home with us for five of those. I must confess, it feels like forever, and the easy days when we dashed about the city seem like a lifetime ago. … Continue reading
We’re two week’s into Covid-19 lockdown and social distancing. It’s incredible to me how much life has changed in such a short period of time. Our world, which was so recently busy with activities, people and plans has reduced to … 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
We couldn’t visit Snowdonia without attempting to climb to the summit of Snowdon – the highest point in England and Wales. We packed a picnic and waterproofs and set off early for Llanberis. We parked the car there and squeezed … Continue reading
With the weather a bit ropey during our trip to North Wales, I found myself spending quite a bit of time carefully scanning the Met Office satellite maps tracking rain showers and looking for locations that were looking less cloudy! … Continue reading
