"Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life" – Michael Palin
This small but perfectly formed island holds a very special place in my heart. I have a family connection to the island and I also have precious memories from a particular holiday taken there long ago. The few trips I had there initially when I was younger were very much about sun, sea and sand… Continue reading Aaah Menorca!

I spent a lovely weekend in Lewes during the summer visiting friends. I always love going down there, it’s brilliant to hang out with my friends first and foremost, but Lewes is also a gorgeous little historic town. I feel like I’ve had a proper little mini-break when I return from there. Lewes sits in… Continue reading Loafing around Lewes!
The falls are about 45 minutes outside of LP (by tuk-tuk, other modes of transportation are available!) and are definitely worth the trip! We were told to get there early to avoid the crowds, but that didn’t actually happen, despite our best intentions.

Both African and Asian elephants are facing severe threats ranging from poaching (primarily for the illegal ivory trade), to loss of their natural habitat. Conflict between the animals and their… Continue reading World Elephant Day 2018
... FISH AND CHIPS BY THE SEA!!! I recently visited the gorgeous little town of Lewes in Sussex. The town doesn't sit on the coast but it isn't too far away. I was there for the weekend visiting friends and to begin with the weather was looking great and even a swim in the sea… Continue reading Because I Love…
My mum and I had one full day to explore the delights of Wells, a gorgeous little town in Somerset. We had already had a little wander around the town the previous afternoon when we arrived, but on our second day there we were all about exploring the two major sights that Wells has to… Continue reading Sightseeing in Wonderful Wells, Somerset
