Taken on the first time I have seen my Mum (it’s her garden for those of you not familiar!) in what was then 12 weeks. I have to say I think our Expat years gave us training in not seeing friends and loved ones for months at a time, but it was so […]

Sunday Photo – Reading Time at the Zoo
I don’t tend to feature my kid’s faces in the blogs, but as they are not directly looking at the camera, and one of them is partially obscured by a giant Lego book…. I think the image sums up a general feeling of what it’s like in lockdown for quite a few kids in the […]
Sunday Photo – Easter Tree…
A few days early, but I thought people would appreciate the colour right now… Not the best picture (taken from the lounge), but if you look closely you should see the eggs we decorated our tree with…
London with Original Travel UK – Part 2
I make no apology for the fact that this is an incredibly picture heavy post… Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Great food, the pastrami egg rolls are delicious, as are the giant Xiaolongbao (Soup Dumplings, served […]

London with Original Travel UK – Part 1
Original Travel UK started life some 16 years ago, when a group of friends left the City and joined forces to start a creative travel company specialising in Luxury Travel. This new venture grew quickly (winning countless awards along the way – like the Guardian’s Best Tour Operator twice!) and branched out into family holidays, […]
Sunday Photo – London Colours
London colours taken last weekend. I always imagine London to be grey with a bit of red white and blue chucked in from time to time, but there are pockets of colour if you know where to find them! More on our weekend over the next day or so…
Sunday Photo – Mountain Scenery
A little bit of Mountain Scenery for a Sunday morning. Watch this space for a report on our mountain getaway. x
