It’s not hard to find my child free posts in the Bavarian Sojourn “back catalogue” as they are typically called things like “The Perfect Quiet Weekend” or “Birthday Castles” (which wasn’t a strictly child free weekend, but as Schloss Elmau does such a good job at entertaining your offspring, you can pretend if you really […]
Sunday Photo – Two Tigers Who Came To Tea
6 Having tea with a tiger at Mottisfont. He’s not one for large stuffed animals or dressing up really so this made me laugh.
Sunday Photo – Trout Watching
Trout Watching. We would swim in this part of the river when we were small (and my fish phobia wasn’t quite so bad!)…
A Day at Duxford
I think my memories of living in Cambridgeshire will involve a lot of stereotypical things (even though it was for a relatively short period of time), bikes, punting, and gown clad students… And then a few not so – the masses of flag wielding tourist groups, Anglesey Abbey, Wandlebury Ring, and The Imperial War Museum […]
Sunday Photo – Through the Water Meadows
These two, busy exploring their new environs. They love each other very much, but they don’t half wind each other up! It’s hard to believe that Winchester is classed as a city at times, its so full of beautiful greenery…
Cultured Kids #27
It’s taken what seems like weeks to sit down and compose a post, mostly because I think this move has been so very different from our last three… There’s so much more to do than when you first arrive at your rented foreign Expat property. That whole process typically goes something like this: Wait for […]
Sunday Photo – Exploring
Exploring our new city. Slowly getting back to normal after the upheaval. House is coming together mostly thanks to my lovely Pops who spent the week grafting and sorting lots of the rubbish left for us by the previous owners. It’s starting to feel like home… Normal service resuming soon!
Sunday Photo – Unpacking
A week in and we still have a few boxes to go. It’s a huge novelty owning a house again after such a long time. I don’t think we will get tired of looking at something and thinking “I hate that, that’s going” instead of having to live with it – something fellow expats will […]
Coastal Adventures in East Anglia
Now that we are back on our own small (but perfectly formed) island, having overdosed on mountains these past few years (never a bad thing!), we are currently enjoying making up for lost time when it comes to beaches, and being so very close to the sea… So, when Parkdean Resorts got in touch to […]
Not so Secret Gardens – Botanical Gardens Cambridge
As was the case in the last few days before we left Denmark and Germany, I would often be found rushing around favourite places, or those places that had been on the list but that we hadn’t quite made it to. And, as we very much treated Cambridge like any other expat location when […]
