February has been… interesting. I’ve been solo-parenting and holding down the fort for just over three weeks whilst Neil travelled to the other side of the world to watch the England cricket team play two test matches in New Zealand, with adventures in Los Angeles and Fiji along the way. We weren’t sure if he…
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…
Hello and happy new year! It seems strange to be saying that at the end of January but I honestly don’t know where this month has gone. I started 2023 off in style by testing positive for Covid on New Years Day, having successfully avoided it for almost three years. I felt pretty rough, which…
December seemed like quite hard work and I felt as if I put in lots of effort just to get through it, as wonderful as it was in many, many ways. I was still on crutches for 3/4 of the month and as a result I had to cancel plans with each of my best…

In the summer holidays of August 2022 we drove down south from where we live in the Midlands, hopped on a ferry and headed across the Solent for an Isle of Wight family holiday. We spent a week exploring the island and made lots of memories together, all of which I’ve added to the cluster…
When I was a little girl, somewhere around seven years old (at a guess), my Mum and I went on holiday to the Isle of Wight, just the two of us, and had the best time exploring together. I’ve been wanting to go back and re-visit the island for years and years, particularly now that…
¡Hola! Here is part two of our travel diary from our Spanish summer holiday in August 2022 – a family trip to Nerja on the Costa del Sol. I’ve loved spending time in Spain since I was a little girl as I have family who lived there and I couldn’t wait to show it off…
November felt like it lasted for an eternity, despite being relatively busy. I am a summer/early autumn girl at heart and absolutely not a fan of darkening mornings & evenings and incessant rain. I’m doing my very best to embrace each season for what it brings but I confess that I do tend to find…
We have been lucky enough to be able to do a fair bit of travelling this year, both individually and as a family. Neil went to Barbados with a friend to watch cricket for 11 days in March; I went to Chicago for a 3-day photography conference in July; and we spent our annual week…
