Family travel near and far, for all kinds of budgets
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you’ll know I’m getting married next year – eek! So this is is how I found my wedding dress in Hampshire, plus top tips if you’re shopping for yours. If you’re just here for the travel stuff, take a look at how I managed to save £££s on …
Copenhagen is an amazing city to visit. Initially, it was just a stop off point for us to get to Stockholm and Oslo, and we seriously underestimated how much fun we’d have there. Originally a Viking fishing village, Copenhagen became Denmark’s capital in the early 15th century and is now home to nearly 800,000 people. …
If you’ve seen photos of the interior of our house, then you’ll know we love bold patterns and bright colours. In fact, there’s only one room and the downstairs loo that use a neutral colour palette. Slowly, we’ve been getting more adventurous with our DIY projects over the years. Combining my crafty skills and Lee’s …
Let’s face it; we’ve all been there. Sometimes no amount of planning can combat a travel hiccup.

If anyone tells you Vegas is expensive, they lied. Okay, so they only lied a little bit and yes, it does depend on what you want to do. But we categorically proved that a 2-week trip to Vegas doesn’t have to cost the earth. Lee had been to Vegas before – twice – so we …
A trip to South Africa wouldn’t be complete without a safari. Not wanting to miss out on a true African experience, we booked a day at Aquila Private Game Reserve. When researching nearby safaris. Aquila was one of the closest and one of the more affordable. Many other reserves were quite costly, and were easily …
Clubbing. Partying. Unlimited alochol. The Hangover movie. Strippers and Magic Mike. I’m pretty sure this is the stereotype of Vegas we all have in our mind. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not far off…if that’s what you like. For me, I’d never had any interest in visiting Vegas. I don’t drink much and I’m not …
You should know by now that I’m a huge animal lover – my post on alpaca walking in Hampshire is a great example of this – and a couple of years ago, we discovered the Paws for Thought cafe in Romsey. After seeing photos and videos from animal cafes around the world, I was thrilled …
