We took a good old fashioned film camera with us on our road trip across the MidWest America back in April. Well I say I, Wes did, but in typical us style, we didn’t get round to developing the film until about 4 months later. There is something quite lovely, exciting and quite worrying about […]
A couple of weeks ago on a warm, sunny blue sky October Sunday, we headed for the Surrey Hills for twenty-four luxurious hours in the English Countryside. How every Sunday should be….. if I had my own way. Quintessentially English, Beaverbrook Country House is nestled in the hills, surrounded by stunning gardens that go and […]
Okay so it does feel a little odd, waxing lyrical about Summer when we are half way through October, although with the temperature hitting 24 degrees in the UK only four days ago, I can’t be blamed too much for not fully immersing into Autumn. So with that, I bring you to the last few […]
Benvenuto alla Maison La Minervetta, quite possibly the most beautiful hotel I have been lucky enough to stay at. A cliffside abode, with views out to the Sorento and Amalfi Coast from every possible part of this stunning boutique hotel, from the pool to sun terrace but what overrides this, if that is possible is […]
Wherever in the world I might be, seeking out hidden bays and beaches is always a pretty high priority. So on day 3 of our Amalfi Adventure, we chose beach over town and what a beach it was. What we didn’t quite take into consideration was the trek to get there….. I had read it […]
On our second day, after a very slow, leisurely get up we decided to explore a little more of the Amalfi Coast. So much to see, Capri, Amalfi, Positano all on the list but alas we really only had time for one of the three, as I also had plans for a boat trip and […]
A couple of weeks ago we left behind the start of rainy September and headed for the Amalfi Coast for a taste of La Dolce Vita. Five full days filled with pasta, wine, Aperol spritz, beautiful albeit a little crazy and unconventional coastal drives, A LOT of steps, granite de limon, lemon cake for breakfast, […]
Early on in the Summer, back in the heart of the heat wave, I took a long weekend and travelled down to Cornwall with my family. With a lovely house in Falmouth, close to the beach, the port, the old town, the beach huts, the ice cream, it was the perfect way to kick start […]
Sometimes sequels to things come straight after the first and other times you have to wait months, (yes still getting over the longer wait for The Crown and Stranger Things) a little like this blog post, my part two to Bella Roma. But with Summer starting to slow down a little and an impending return […]
It has been a while since I’ve put pen to paper or fingers to keys as they say, for the blog. With half written adventures aka Rome, part two coming soon, a glorious weekend in Cornwall, also coming soon, it is not as if I’ve not got any tales to tell so the only excuse […]
