Inside York Minster – Cultured Kids #24
I am beginning to think that a relocation within my own country is a lot more stressful than an international move. Maybe that’s because I can completely understand every minute detail though, whereas with previous moves?!… Add to that all the other ridiculous necessities that come with handing back a rental property before completing on […]
The Railway Museum – York
I am pretty sure I have said this countless times, but I think the secret to successful travel with kids (whether you are talking about a trip, a day out or a full on expedition) is to involve everyone with the decision-making process. Whether that’s giving them a say in where we stay, what we […]
York in Three Days
York is one of those places that everyone’s visited (it’s the most visited British city after London and Manchester apparently!), and you’d be hard pushed to find anyone with anything bad to say about it it seems. It’s definitely one of those special places – although turning up on a Bank Holiday Sunday afternoon was eye-popping to […]
Cultured Kids #23
Thanks to the never-ending upcoming move, I might have forgotten to mention one little thing… As of recently, I find myself in outstanding company in hosting the Cultured Kids linky along with Catherine from Cultural Wednesday’s, Iona of Zenbaby Travel, Scarlett of Diary of a Londoness and Megan of Truly Madly Kids. Except I should […]
Pizzeria Da Zero and Italy’s Biggest Science Museum
Be warned. If you are one of those people that needs everything to be punctual and organised to be happy, Italy might not be the destination for you. We booked a table at Pizzeria Da Zero (tempted by its sky high ratings and reputation for the best pizza in Milan) for lunch one week day. […]
City of 100 Towers – Pavia
If you fancy a spot of Architecture Appreciation of an early Milan morning, might I suggest you head straight to Centrale Station where you should grab a punchy espresso to kick start your day (we loved the traditional cafe with its long bar and chandelier! Pay for your coffee at the till, give the barista […]
Sunday Photo – A Slice of Life
Slightly cheating with this week’s Sunday Photo, but come on English people, there hasn’t been much to photograph in a week full of rain and greyness. I took this photograph in our little Navigli apartment at the end of a long day’s exploring, and it has to be one of my favourites of our trip […]
Sleepless in Milan
Parents be warned. If your friendly Milanese landlady shoves chocolates into the hands of your bambinos when you first arrive at your apartment for the week, do immediately check the contents, especially of those that your rather “obsessive about chocolate” toddler stuffs into his mouth before you can actually count how many he has digested. […]
Beautiful Bergamo
Like everything in my life at the moment (in that it all seems a little bit upside down and back to front right now) – I am starting with our last port of call during our Italia trip – to beautiful Bergamo (school started back again Wednesday, and I finally have time to plough through […]
