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 created this blog as a way…
This is part two of a blog all about our unexpected little mini-break in Dorset over half term. You can find part one here. MONDAY I woke up early (as always) to the sound of torrential rain. I’d checked the weather the night before and it had forecast rain so I’d been expecting it, but…
I’d had half term all planned out. Sophie was coming to visit for the week, we were going to have fun doing some of the things on our Autumn Bucket List and I’d factored in some much-needed downtime as well after a jam-packed and busy first six weeks back at school. And then, as so often happens…

Towards the end of my epic year spent travelling in Australia in 2013, the guy I had been travelling with and I went our separate ways. A couple moved into the shared dorm-room in Sydney that we’d been living in at the time. Their names were Tamarin and Pete, and they were just at the beginning of their travelling adventure. We did…

As I write this, the last of my summer blog posts, we are already three-quarters of the way through September. I’m really not quite sure how that happened. For a start, the weather has been absolutely lovely over the last few weeks (with the occasional exception of the odd rainy day or chilly morning) and so…
One Sunday a few weeks ago we were at a bit of a loss as to what to do. We’d exhausted pretty much everything on our Summer Bucket List (which was relatively short anyway as I wanted a slower, more simple summer than the usual mad-busy craziness that I normally create by packing as much…
