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 […]
Sunday Photo – Ely Cathedral
Taken in beautiful Ely a few days ago. A Cathedral with a very different ceiling…
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 […]

An Easter Break
I have decided to let A Bavarian Sojourn have a little well-earned rest whilst we take a break in the Peak District. Is there a place that better suits Spring I ask myself? Back soon with many a tale of this gorgeous area. x
