Travelled January 2020 Most visitors choose Zanzibar as a relaxing way to unwind in a tropical setting after the thrill of the open dirt track on a mainland safari. You might think that after ten days of chasing lions and bush sunsets, the adventure part of a Tanzanian trip would come to an abrupt halt …
Tanzania Safari
Travelled January 2020 We went on our honeymoon to Tanzania in January 2020 and I have spent nearly every day since thinking about how lucky I am to be able to have such a sentence to my name. It’s taken a long (long) time to piece together my notes, photos, thoughts and memories into something …
Amalfi Coast
Travelled September 2019 It was probably midway through my third day of consecutively consuming a meal of aubergine parmigiana when I really cemented my love for Italy. Drowning in aubergines and parmesan alongside the Gulf Of Naples in the perfectly warm September sun; there is, surely, no better way to recover from a wedding. We …
Stockholm
Travelled December 2019 This year’s Christmas expedition in pursuit of markets and mulled wine took us back to beloved Scandinavia. What Sweden is lacking in winter daylight hours it makes up for in fairy lights and I can confirm that Stockholm may well be the twinkliest of all festive trips thus far. This was a …
The South
Travelled in May/June 2019 The South. The Low Country. A broad way to describe the selection of states where sky meets sea, Spanish moss hugs trees and old fashioned charm is upheld in a luncheon or a cool glass of iced tea. Maybe it’s the rose-tinted Nicholas Sparks impact, but there’s no denying the South …
California
Travelled in May 2019 I have always had an affinity with the USA. A childhood spent getting lost in the world of Judy Blume novels, wanting to be the Sweet Valley triplet Elizabeth and Jessica didn’t know they needed and wondering which of my friends would come in useful for our very own Babysitters Club …
Krakow & Zakopane
Travelled in December 2018 December isn’t complete without a long weekend in a European city soaking in all things festive. From mulled wine at markets to walks around winding streets, it’s the most wonderful time of the year to wrap up and get down to the very important business of all things pre-Christmas activities. We …
Our Wedding
Our wedding may have been just over a year in the making but our marriage has been a nine year work in progress. Tom and I have been an “us” since 2010. Together we have run wild and grown up. Travelled the world and built a home. Despite the fact I feel like I’ve been …
Switzerland
An Alpine adventure is always a good idea and determined as always to make the most of holiday allowance/lapses in the acting-sphere, we ventured to Switzerland for some Autumn sightseeing. Having never been to Switzerland before, we chose to fly into Geneva (the cheapest option) and spend a day there before road-tripping out into the …
Chiang Mai
From the tranquil islands of the south to the tropical urban jungle of the north, Chiang Mai was our final stop in our journey around Thailand and again showed exactly how diverse a destination this sprawling country can be. Another budget airline flight saw us land right in the centre of Chiang Mai. The airport …
