Back in the summer of 2016 we spent a week exploring Jersey in the Channel Islands and the girls have been begging to go back ever since. It’s an absolutely beautiful, completely unique place – the perfect, short-haul getaway destination from the UK. And there are so many family-friendly things to do in Jersey! I…
I almost feel sad to be writing this post as it’s the final instalment in my series from our big trip to the USA earlier this year. We had such a fantastic time together investigating what Boston had to offer over the course of almost a week (you can read all about what we got…
Back in May half term we took our ‘big trip’ for the year. We try and alternate between exploring more of Europe and venturing a bit further afield because I’m determined to show our girls just what an awesomely diverse and beautiful world we live in. Last year (2018) we visited stunning Lake Maggiore in…
As a Mum and as a photographer, I know just how important it is to document your memories. To capture those moments that illustrate your life at any given moment. To freeze time on your family, exactly as they are, right now. Photographs are key to telling our stories, to ensuring that we are seen…

It’s become a little bit of a tradition that we escape on holiday for the first week of the summer holidays. As soon as the final bell of the academic year rings, we’re swapping school uniforms for comfy clothes, grabbing ready-packed suitcases and heading down (or up!) the motorway to the airport to catch a…
Cornwall is jam-packed full of a huge range of National Trust sites: beautiful gardens; impressive houses; wild beaches and idyllic countryside walks. The vast majority of them are located along the county’s breathtakingly rugged coastline. We have already explored some (Boscastle, Northcott Mouth beach and Morwenstow’s ‘Hawker’s Hut’ – the National Trust’s smallest property –…
A couple of weeks ago I shared Part One of our family holiday to Bude, documenting the first half of our adventures in our happy place by the sea. This post, Part Two, covers the second half of our family holiday to Bude, including the bonus days we were lucky enough to be gifted by…
