Writing this, wistfully remembering our family adventure in Boston in May half term, got me thinking back about our holidays over the years. When the girls were small, we couldn’t afford to travel. My therapy business was still in the very early stages as I emerged from maternity leave with three babies aged 3 and…
It’s become a little bit of a tradition that we escape on holiday for the first week of the summer holidays. As soon as the final bell of the academic year rings, we’re swapping school uniforms for comfy clothes, grabbing ready-packed suitcases and heading down (or up!) the motorway to the airport to catch a…
Cornwall is jam-packed full of a huge range of National Trust sites: beautiful gardens; impressive houses; wild beaches and idyllic countryside walks. The vast majority of them are located along the county’s breathtakingly rugged coastline. We have already explored some (Boscastle, Northcott Mouth beach and Morwenstow’s ‘Hawker’s Hut’ – the National Trust’s smallest property –…
A couple of weeks ago I shared Part One of our family holiday to Bude, documenting the first half of our adventures in our happy place by the sea. This post, Part Two, covers the second half of our family holiday to Bude, including the bonus days we were lucky enough to be gifted by…
Hi there. everybody! Today’s post is all about the second half of our holiday to Bude, North Cornwall. Part One was all about the first five days of our trip – Saturday to Wednesday – and this time it will be documenting the last five days – Thursday to Monday (we left on Tuesday). So…
Our annual, much-loved, family holiday to Bude in Cornwall during the Easter holidays feels like forever ago. Life has been so busy since then that it’s taken me two whole months to be able to create the time to sit down and write these travel diaries. Looking through all the photographs and thinking back over…
Hi there! I’m very sorry- I haven’t been on here for a VERY long time! We have had the fire, two months of a kitchen-free environment and have just been on holiday to Bude, North Cornwall. And so here is Part One of my blog post… ENJOY! Day One: Saturday After waking up really early…
As I write this it’s the deepest midwinter here in England: minus five degrees Celcius; grey and miserable. I am longing for sunshine and warmth and the chance to explore somewhere new. My thoughts keep wandering off ahead to our upcoming big trip to Boston and Cape Cod later this Spring, as well as nostalgically…
Our holiday-of-a-lifetime to Walt Disney World Florida feels like forever ago now, though in reality it’s only been just over a year since we travelled there in October 2017. Once we’d actually taken the plunge and booked our trip (see Part One for more information on what worked for us), it was time to begin…
I can’t quite believe it was a whole year ago that we were on our way to Walt Disney World Florida in October 2017. The build up to our holiday-of-a-lifetime seemed monumental, even more so because we kept it a secret from the girls for nine whole months, only telling them about our surprise four…
