I honestly can’t claim to have had all that many “put the tent up yourself” type of camping experiences in life, apart from a handful of festivals in the misspent part of my youth (where to be honest someone else usually HAD to put the tent up for us anyway!). There was also a camping […]

Cultured Kids #47
Anyone else feel like they are slowly drowning in things to remember, places to be, and what your offspring absolutely need to have with them at this time of year? I am sure it’s not just me? I always seem to struggle in these last few countdown weeks to the summer holidays and inevitably forget […]
Sunday Photo – Taking in the View – Wales
Taking in the view (and his wellies off!) at our Welsh holiday cottage… I am going to miss this!
On the Edge of Snowdonia..
Regular readers will notice a lack of current international travel from these quarters. It doesn’t mean there’s none in the near future by the way, it has just meant building projects, plus a husband working abroad a lot has gotten in the way, as has (in the nicest possible way) a need for our offspring […]
Residenz – Munich
There are things that will forever remind me of our other homes. Now, whenever I see a dahlia, I automatically think of Denmark. To be honest, I wasn’t fond of them before we moved there, they weren’t that fashionable at the time in the UK, and most people associated them with old people’s gardens… […]
Investigating the Brickosaurs at Marwell Zoo
Given that the Three-Year-old has a pretty vivid imagination, it was nice to be able to answer “yes, I think we will” when he asked whether we might see a dinosaur at Marwell… Luckily for him, from now until the 1st September there are 36 giant Prehistoric Lego creatures dotted amongst the Zoo’s usual […]
Pinacoteca Di Brera – Milan
Yeah, thanks Facebook for the reminder that a year ago today we were enjoying Milan (picture me doing a vastly over exaggerated eye roll right here please?)… The beginning of this Easter Holiday is not quite as exciting in the Bavarian Sojourn Household as stage one of the house project is finished up. We had […]
Cultured Kids #42
I know the saying goes be careful what you wish for, but I really am more than ready for the Easter Hols to begin this afternoon… Just a break in our usual routine will be nice, and maybe a lie in or two (I can wish!). Now the the initial phase of our house renovations […]
A Munich Meander
Staying up the road in Garmisch had the added advantage that we were able to pop to our old city for a day… Whilst the rest of my gang happily spent the day in their old haunt (actually much changed, much rearranged, slightly smaller?) Deutsches Museum, I was able to have a meander around Munich, […]
Mountain High – Zugspitze
Of course, if you’re staying in Garmisch, then you are bound to end up at the top of its incredibly famous mountain at some point… This was not our first ascent. I was introduced to the Zugspitze several years ago when we first moved to Munich. It was Mother’s Day I remember, which also happened […]
