The word detox pops up pretty frequently this time of year. January, the time to clear off all vices, sins and bad habits. Clean everything from body, to house, to mind, even the cat is taking the stairs three steps at a time…House and mind I am on board with (although the latter is a […]

There is never a time of the year, week or day I am not thinking about the next trip, getaway or adventure but January, well January I go straight to 10 on the Ritchascale of Bucket Lists. I add, I take away, I reflect, I spend hours looking at websites working out where we could […]

After three blissful days at The Last House, we moved up the coast to Galle for our final few days in Sri Lanka. For the first time the journey was simple, comfortable and quick, although our diver did ask to stop to pay in a cheque for his daughter…But it gave us chance to have […]

Last Friday night we headed in to London to meet some friends for a surprise celebration evening. I always think it adds to the excitement to a night out when you are sending a million text messages in 1/2 hour….”Where are you guys?… Train was delayed… Can you stall them for a bit, Victoria tube […]

Walking into the Last House was like all my Christmas’ coming at once. A long arduous journey from Kandy but oh so worth it when we finally reached our abode for the next three nights. Peace and light accompanied with the sound of the crashing waves welcomed us, completely immersing us into the calm spirit […]
