I remember speaking on a Travel Panel at BritMums a few years ago where I was asked whether you should bother writing about a destination if it had been written about many times before. “Absolutely” I replied, your personal experience of a place is never going to be the same as someone else’s is […]

Sunday Photo – Below Tintagel
A sea view taken below medieval Tintagel Castle in Cornwall… England can be so beautiful, especially at wildflower time!
Surfing with George
I am very much of the opinion that you only get once chance at life. It’s often shorter than you think, and you should absolutely grasp every opportunity you get to see new places, and try new things… Whatever or wherever it is, it might be the best thing you have ever seen/done after […]
A Taste of Cornwall
Mention Cornwall to a lot of Brits, and watch as their eyes mist over with memories of many a childhood Cornish holiday. It is up there as a favourite holiday destination for the staycationers amongst us for so many reasons… Even Mr R became misty eyed when someone suggested Cornwall after a family discussion about […]
Sunday Photo – Cornish Views
A scene from a half term break in Cornwall… Will be back to tell you about it shortly.
A Week in the Peaks
Unsurprisingly, lots of people visit the Peak District with the sole intention of walking or hiking. This part of the UK is stunningly beautiful, and the surrounding countryside is almost completely unspoilt. It really is English scenery at its finest, and there’s something for everyone, from gentle walks in quintessential patchwork countryside (all divided by […]

A HUGE house in the middle of rolling English countryside, where I could roller skate through the vast halls (once I had learned how) […]
Top UK Family Travel Blogs
A couple of posts back, I mentioned that having recently returned home, we are currently quite far out of the loop when it comes to travel in the UK. So, I like to interrogate my fellow (very patient) family travel blogger friends about their best family friendly tips of places to see on this small […]
Mam Tor & The Devil’s Arse – Peak District
Coming back to the UK, it’s been really useful to call on the advice of other travel blogging friends about visiting areas that are new to us, and slightly interrogating them on their must see things. On popping over to meet Brutus (obviously not his real name, but believe me it suits him!) and […]
The Plague Village – Eyam & Curbar Edge
A first Peak District post. They aren’t in any particular order, my inner morbid self just expressed an interest to write about this place first… My older two take after me with their gruesome history interests, and because of this Eyam was firmly on the list… First stop, Eyam Plague Museum… Way back through […]
