If you read my recent post about the things I didn’t expect when I returned to Skiathos, you’ll already know that I had a brilliant time on my second visit to the island. One thing I was reminded of pretty quickly is that Skiathos Town has some very nice places for eating and drinking (nothing… Continue reading Where I ate and drank in Skiathos Town
Let’s Chat – August 2026
And just like that, August is over. Taylor’s right; it slipped away like a moment in time, but very BUSY moment! Holidays, weekend breaks, questionable TV choices and more outfits than I probably needed… So grab yourself a brew (or an ice coffee as we still have two and a bit more weeks of British… Continue reading Let’s Chat – August 2026
6 Things I didn’t expected when I went back to Skiathos
I’ve just got back from my second trip to Skiathos - the first trip was in 2023, and I did mean to post about it then but… well, I’m here and posting about it now! Although I had a pretty good idea of what to expect this time, there were a few things that had… Continue reading 6 Things I didn’t expected when I went back to Skiathos
Let’s Chat – July 2026
That’s right; I’m not only ‘back’ but I’m back to posting a (sort of) monthly round up! I have still been doing something like this on my social media accounts but a photo and 5 words isn’t quite the same (and I have NEVER been the type to say less in any scenario). This roundup… Continue reading Let’s Chat – July 2026
I spent 4 days in Las Palmas and this is what I found (and where I’d eat/drink again)
Las Palmas has actually been on my travel wish list for years at this point. The biggest pain point that stopped us from going was the obscenely late night / early morning flight times - however the travel Gods (well, the scheduling teams at Leeds Bradford airport / Jet2) heard my prayers and have finally… Continue reading I spent 4 days in Las Palmas and this is what I found (and where I’d eat/drink again)
Well… hello again.
If you’ve somehow remembered this little corner of the internet (or stumbled across it by accident) - I promise I have too! This blog has been part of my life for a long time. Twelve years, in fact! That’s long enough for questionable fashion choices to become trendy again (not that I ever made any… Continue reading Well… hello again.
How I spent 3.5 days in Rome
Last year* my mum and I headed off to Rome for 3 days to kick start my 40th birthday celebrations (just before I continued the celebrations in St Lucia, which you can read about here) As I did with my recent post on Iceland I've broken my trip down day by day so you can… Continue reading How I spent 3.5 days in Rome
How I spent 4 days in Iceland
I kicked off 2024 in the best way ever - I booked the first week of January off work and travelled to one of my bucket list destinations....Iceland! Despite the fact that I turned 40 last year, this trip marks the last of my milestone birthday travels (I've previously posted about my big birthday vacay… Continue reading How I spent 4 days in Iceland
Some of the best things to do in Saint Lucia
In April I jetted off to the glorious island of St. Lucia as part of my 40th birthday celebrations. It's somewhere I've wanted to go since my honeymoon 13 years ago and, after 2 failed attempts to make it to the Caribbean in 2020 and 2021, I finally made the dream come true! When it… Continue reading Some of the best things to do in Saint Lucia
40 Things for 40
Today I turn 40! Guess I'll have to update my bio so it doesn't say "thirty-something" anymore.... I feel like it took me right up until the last couple of years in my 30s to really understand life and think "oh, THAT'S what it's supposed to be about" thanks to all the many lessons I've… Continue reading 40 Things for 40
