Every year we travel to Cornwall at Easter for our annual holiday in Bude – our happy place for almost a decade now. This year our trip felt more important and necessary than ever – a final chance to rest and recharge before the intensity of our eldest daughter’s GCSE exams began the following month….
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…
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…

In April 2022 we headed down to our happy place by the sea for our annual Easter visit to Bude in North Cornwall. You can read all about what we got up to in the first half of the week here. This post covers our adventures during the second half of the week, when we…
I love sitting down to write these posts about our annual Easter visit to Bude and when I do I often wonder what I’m going to say. After all, we go every year – what can I possibly talk about this time that’s new and interesting or different? And then I look back over all…
Back in June 2021, after spending the first part of Whitsun half term in Edinburgh, we were invited to spend a few days at Cameron Lodges on the shores of Loch Lomond in western Scotland. We were really impressed with our whole experience there: everything from the 5* luxury accommodation; to the superb resort facilities;…
