Last autumn Ella and I spent three days in Edinburgh for the University of Edinburgh open day – the very first open day we went to. We caught the train up to Scotland, stayed in one of the best airbnbs we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in (with the loveliest host you could imagine),…
In September 2004 my best friend Rachel and I, both 21 years old at the time, spent three days in Paris together. I’d returned to the UK a few months earlier from over a year of travelling in Australia & New Zealand and still had a desperately intense and all-consuming travel itch to scratch. She…
Phew, what a whirlwind few months it’s been since our wonderful stay at The Old Bakery in Bude. Summer came and went; the start of the new academic year brought with it a whole heap of changes for us as a family; and we’re now in the depths of a colourful Autumn with the festive…
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…
Back at the start of July 2022 I spent four days in Chicago for ClickAway, a photography conference run by Click Community. It was my second time attending – my first was ClickAway Atlanta back in March 2020, right before the world shut down (quite literally – I landed back home in the UK just two days before all…
