A fornight ago I was lamenting the end of summer and although I’m still doing that (can’t get my head around the shorter days), writing up some of my travels over the summer has cheered me up. My latest post, which I am linking to this week’s City Tripping, is our family day out to Portsmouth […] Read more…
September is always a time of change, isn’t it? In our household, Mrs T has gone into Year 1 – bringing home her first piece of homework this week. I’ve gone back to work part-time after maternity leave which means cheeky has started nursery. One thing that hasn’t changed though is City Tripping. Yes, it’s […] Read more…
Welcome back to City Tripping following the summer break. The summer already seems long gone here in the UK but I’ve lots of wonderful memories of adventures at home and abroad. Our trip to the south of France went really well so I have lots to tell about our travel in Provence and the Dordogne. […] Read more…
With the school summer holidays upon us and travel plans galore, City Tripping is having a bit of a break for the summer. My co-host, Cathy at MummyTravels, is off on a very exciting trip to Cambodia while I will be road tripping around France for a couple of weeks with my family. Towards the […] Read more…
It’s the countdown to the start of the holidays and the end of my daughter’s first year at school! Where did the year go? We’ll soon be heading off to France and I’m looking forward to spending some family time together. We’ve been up and down to London a lot over the past few weeks […] Read more…
We’ve had the summer solstice and suddenly we are in July with the school summer holidays looming. Mrs T will soon wrap up her first year at school and then we have six weeks of summer. Hurrah! What shall we do though? Like many other parents, I am keen to get some inspiration for UK […] Read more…
The tragic events in my home city of London have left me with a heavy heart. My thoughts go out to those affected. I love London. It is my home and my favourite city in the world. For people to be targeted for enjoying everything the UK capital has to offer is sickening. But London is […] Read more…
It seems a while since we arrived back from our family trip to Asia. Funny how quickly you get back to daily life. In fact, it’s only two weeks since we jetted back from Singapore, although far longer since we were in Hong Kong. The city has been the subject of my latest post and […] Read more…
As much as I love to travel, it can be very satisfying to get through your own door and no longer live out of a suitcase. We returned from our three week trip to Asia at the weekend. It was an extra bonus to find Spring in full bloom and the sun shining (although that hasn’t […] Read more…
South East Asia was where I truly caught the travel bug – sixteen years ago. My time backpacking in the region cemented my love of travel and desire to see the world. Now we are back in the region – as a family of four – visiting some new places and a familiar one too. […] Read more…
Back in August last year we booked a trip to Asia. It felt so far away at the time but now it is suddenly here! Of course, I feel woefully underprepared for it, nothing that a bit of last minute packing and research won’t fix though. It will be brilliant although I’m slightly apprehensive about the […] Read more…
Last week my City Tripping co-host Cathy, and I, announced a slight change to the City Tripping linky we have been running for over a year now…67 links and counting! Going forward, the link up will alternate between the hosts. Not too much changes, it’s still the same fab linky where you can find some great city-travel inspiration and lovely […] Read more…
