If you’re dreaming of sunshine, stunning views, and a whole lot of family fun, Majorca ticks all the boxes! Our recent holiday to this Mediterranean marvel was packed with beachy bliss, exciting day trips, and magical moments we’ll be talking about for years. We based ourselves just outside Palma, up in the peaceful hills —… Continue reading Sunshine, Sandcastles & Smiles: Our Family Adventure in Majorca!
April 2023 We've just returned from the most amazing short break to Budapest, Hungary. It's a city I, Charlotte, have been to before but this was our first trip as a family. Accommodation As usual, we checked into a fab Airbnb right in the centre of the city (2 minutes from St. Stephen's Basilica). We… Continue reading Budapest with children
A day out in Aachen with the children
Summer 2023 was upon us (well it was January and I needed to start planning!) and once again we found flight prices to be stupidly high. As with last year's trip to Zadar, we settled on Sicily, in part, because the flight prices were cheaper than sunny rivals like Greece, Spain etc. Now, what I… Continue reading Sicily – Summer 2023
With the Easter holidays looming we were on the look out for a short break (neither of us could get much time off work!). Flight prices were ridiculous so we settled on the Eurotunnel and a trip over to Amsterdam. We set out, as usual, after work and drove down to the Premier Inn in… Continue reading Easter in Amsterdam (with visits to Bruges and Ypres!)

Once again we had no fixed ideas about where we wanted to go and instead started by looking for some cheap (or cheaper) flights. I've come to see that there's definitely a thrill to be had from travelling to unexpected places… Continue reading A family holiday in Zadar, Croatia

We didn't have any fixed ideas about where to go but instead thought we'd see where we could find some cheap flights. We found some… Continue reading 3 nights in Tuscany
So Covid was still a thing. The travel guidelines were hard to predict and my husband’s job (as a doctor) didn't allow for extended and un-planned periods of leave (well that’s what we thought!). Given the circumstances, and somewhat reluctantly, we planned to holiday (yet again!) in the UK. It should be known that I… Continue reading A stay near La Rochelle
The summer of the Staycation. The summer of 2020 will be forever etched in our memory - for the right reasons! With our annual camping trip to Spain cancelled we settled on a week in a (hopefully!) sunny Cornwall. I'm ashamed to say that I hadn’t been to Cornwall since I was 7 (and this… Continue reading St Ives – Family Staycation
Summer 2020 was like no other. So many holiday plans were cancelled, re-arranged, or postponed. I wrote this at the time.... We can either be miserable about it (and believe me I favour this option from time to time) or we can try to embrace it and look on the bright side of life (cue… Continue reading A weekend in Herefordshire
