As a family, our trips and adventures usually focus on us staying for a week or so in a specific location and using it as a base to explore other places nearby. It works well for us: we like being able to feel like we have a bit of a home away from home that…
What a beautiful month May was! The weather throughout has been absolutely fantastic, even over both Bank Holiday weekends, which is pretty much unheard of here in the UK.
