June has been a full-on month with both work and play and as a result it feels like it’s disappeared in the blink of an eye – how are we halfway through 2021 already?! Having spent the first part of Whitsun half term exploring Edinburgh at the end of last month on our first ever…
I have wanted to visit Scotland for years so I was ridiculously excited when we were lucky enough to be invited to spend three nights at Cameron Lodges on the shores of Loch Lomond at the beginning of June. Our accommodation, activities and an evening meal were all complimentary for the purposes of this review…
We like to escape for the week-long May/June Whitsun half term holiday and after not really being able to get away in 2020 because of Covid-19 we decided to explore somewhere we’ve never been before: Scotland! Scotland is a country of two halves – interesting cities juxtaposed with spectacular countryside and scenery – we wanted…
I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do choose to share. I originally created this blog as a…
May felt like a month of two halves. The first two weeks involved a lot of rain (the inevitable flipside of the glorious weather we had during our week in Cornwall in April perhaps?!) and a lot of waiting. Waiting for the weather to improve (we had the heating on. In May!). Waiting for news…

During the second half of the Easter holidays, as soon as self catering accommodation re-opened post lockdown #3, we made our way to Cornwall to spend some time in our happy place during our favourite season: Spring in Bude. This post covers what we got up to during the last few days of our trip…
April feels like it’s stretched on for ages. For all the right reasons though – it’s been full of good things. We’ve been doing our best to make the most of the last month of having Neil home with us full time before he goes back to work at the start of May to get…

Every Easter holidays (with the exception of 2020 of course because of the Covid-19 pandemic) we travel down to Bude in North Cornwall. Spring in Bude is our absolute favourite time of year to visit: we usually get lovely, warm, sunny weather; it’s less busy as the summer season meaning that the beaches are a…
