If you have been to Barbados, you have been to the Round House. It sits right on the edge of the Atlantic side of the island in a town called Bathsheba and has the most spectacular view. We have been here a number of times for a drink, but finally got to eat here yesterday. It was a miserable day so we headed off in search of some sun.

Can we talk about death for a minute?
Sorry, I know that might be a bit of a downer and that nobody ever starts a conversation with “can we talk about death for a minute?” but can we, please? I am a huge champion of having a will. Everyone should have a will, even if you think you don’t have a home or assets, you do have “stuff”. It doesn’t have to be about expensive pieces

#Gifted
This might be a controversial one but here goes. I don’t like the term #Gifted. To be fair it might not be something that is even on your radar, so let me explain. Us bloggers, or influencers as we are increasingly being referred to, are required by the ASA to mark anything that we have been paid for, or sent for inclusion in a blog social media, as an

It might actually be my travel bucket list for beyond 2018 as I can’t see us squeezing many of these into the next eleven months, but a girl can dream, right? The past month has been, to put it mildly, a tad stressful. First of all my youngest ended up in hospital. Twice. Once driven to A&E by me on the advice of 111 and then three days later (with
