Picnics, movies and one Historic Home: Some times ‘Bucket Lists’ are not confined to getting on the plane, in fact sometimes I think it is nicer to have a few on your list that can take place on home soil, making them a little more achievable (let’s face it we can’t be on holiday everyday) […]

Greek Island Hopping. ‘The water sparkles over here’ This little island is how I imagine Greece to be, old Greece from the pictures of a blue, blue sky, a church and perhaps a goat, nothing else but space and a view, yes that photograph, that is what we are talking about. So in ‘Mary Poppins’ […]

The Three B’s, Beautiful ‘Barns’, Beautiful ‘Brighton’ and Hoorah for ‘British’ Summers. Living in the UK always pulls me towards warmer climates, when searching for a holiday or a short break, there is no need to question why when the summers never seem to fully show themselves. Anything planned for outdoors seems to be rushed […]

Swimming in pools, swimming in lakes, taking boat trips and of course lots and lots of gelato. My favourite thing about a European holiday is the slow morning, leisurely breakfasts and gentle walks, exploring new places without using too much energy. We could have just stared and looked at the lake all day. The tranquil […]

The Italian Lakes have been on our bucket list for sometime now, so when our friends invited us to join them for a part of their adventure around the north of Italy we jumped at the chance for a midweek get away to sunnier climates. After a very short flight we landed in Milan and […]
