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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Spring is springing with the flowers starting to emerge and the sun breaking out from the clouds. What better time to make some fresh changes? Top of the list is a mini overhaul for the City Tripping linky which I co-host with the lovely Cathy at MummyTravels. After more than a year, and 66 link-ups […]

It barely seems like yesterday that we came back from skiing and now it’s almost time to head off again as February half term looms closer. What travel plans do you have for this month? We are revisiting the Alps for a few days next week (which means I really HAVE to publish my post from […]

I find it quite fascinating how we can visit a sight, city or country and have a completely different perspective and experience than the person next to us. Having read through all your lovely comments on the post I linked last week about my visit to Gamla Stan in Stockholm, it was very insightful to hear […]

This time last year I was lying on a beach in Sri Lanka! This year, things are slightly different as I bundle up in my ski jacket, hat and gloves to do the school run. Sunny getaways in January aren’t going to be happening in the near future with a school age child (not as a family […]

It has been back to real life for me this week as we left the mountains and returned to the UK. Last week the Alps got some much-needed snow but all we seem to be getting here is rain. Oh well, at least it’s warmer. We spent a very chilly day in the city of Dijon on […]

Happy new year! I hope you all had a great time welcoming in 2017. Warm wishes from the French Alps where we are currently enjoying the unseasonably sunny skies and bare mountain tops. We’ve still managed to do some skiing in the Portes du Soleil resort though and the weather has been perfect for teaching […]
