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 […]
Sunday Photo – Munich Market Characters
I have featured these statues from time to time in my blog over the years. Dotted around Munich’s Viktualienmarkt they usually depict locally characters associated with the market and Munich generally. This is Karl Valentin, a Bavarian Comedian, performer, author and film producer and was often called the Charlie Chaplin of Germany… I love how […]
A Munich Morning
One of the reasons I didn’t change the name of this site (apart from the fact that it’s such a nightmare to do so), is that we obviously spent a huge chunk of our lives in Bavaria and it just wouldn’t feel right to change it. Another reason is that we will of course continue […]

In my original 12 […]

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 […]
A Saturday Kitchen with Baked by Romanos
During my time spent on Planet Earth, I have learned that there are typically four different kinds of people in life… There are those you won’t particularly care for, and those that don’t much like you either (and there’s no point in losing sleep over them!). There are those whose company you enjoy, and who […]
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 […]
