A lifestyle blog
We love exploring, either close to home on an afternoon out, slightly further afield on a weekend away, or to a far flung destination picked because it happened to be on page 83 of the travel guide and we were asked to pick a number between 1 and 230.
Do you know about Timehop? Chances are you do, but if you don’t: Timehop is an app that allows you to connect your social media accounts and then everyday it reminds you want you were posting about on that day, a year ago, five years ago, eight years ago etc. It is a lovely reminder of the places you have been, the people you were with, what you ate.
As windows or rather window frames go, this probably the strangest one I have seen since I started Window Wednesday. Spotted on the walk down from the car park along the river at Cliveden I wooped when I saw it and knew I had this week’s blog post sorted! There are six picture frames on the walk, this one the only blank one to allow you to frame the
Shimmer in the haze of summer lawns Then I heard the children singing They were running through the rainbows They were singing a song for you Well it seemed to be a song for you The one I wanted to write for you, for you Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green All I can say is “thank god for air conditioning in my car” because when we came away from
So having said I thought I was too old to sunbathe I rammed the point home by then spending a day on the beach and burning myself to a crisp. You see the problem is whilst I think that (and now know that if I am not too old I am just too stupid) you can’t really spend two weeks in the Caribbean and NOT spend a day on
Window Wednesday and we are in Barbados, at Surfers Bar It was sitting here in the living room in Barbados last year that I realised I had a bit of an obsession with photographing windows. As I scrolled through my camera and phone I had taken so many photographs that included the frame and the view through them I realised I was slightly addicted. And it was confirmed by
There are lots of beaches on Barbados. Ergo there are lots of ways to “do the beach”. Over on the Atlantic coast my advice would be to do the beach with caution as the waves are quite ferocious and it is not for weak swimmers but it is great if you are surfer. They also aren’t the most beautiful to look at though the scenery is spectacular
I thought I’d written about Amsterdam several times…..apparently not! Amsterdam is a lovely place to visit, and if you’re lucky enough, as I was for 18 months, it is a lovely place to live as well. The old part of the city is arranged around several horseshoe canals – study your map to find out where you’re REALLY going and you could save yourself a long walk or an expensive taxi

Quite how we ended up in Orvieto we still aren’t sure. Mr B had suggested Ostia which I had mis remembered and said “It’s Orti something” when Jonnie asked where we should go the following day. Google produced Orvieto and once Jonnie had read the Wikipedia page for the town we were sold. It was just under a two hour drive from Camping Fabulous where we are staying with
It might strike you as a bit odd but last year when we visited Barbados we didn’t spend a single day on the beach. Not one. When I think about it now it does sound odd but at the time it didn’t feel odd. You see, we aren’t the “lying on the beach” type of family. We all burn. We all get bored quickly and it somehow
It was only a quick trip to Kings College in London this week but it could have been the first of many so I felt I needed to document it! A couple of weeks ago I stepped inside a university for the first time. I didn’t go to uni. None of my friends went to uni either. Caity and Jonnie decided not to go to uni but to walk
