Beautiful Bordeaux πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

January 26, 2020January 26, 2020Leave a comment

The minute I arrived in Bordeaux, I fell in love. It's so beautiful; a wonderful mix of old and new, small enough to walk to most places, it feels safe and everyone seemed friendly and welcoming. We were only here for a few days and stayed at the Hotel Particulier: The hotel had mixed reviews … Continue reading Beautiful Bordeaux πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

A Return to The Ned, London

August 4, 2019August 4, 2019Leave a comment

I loved The Ned so much when I first visited (shortly after it first opened), I knew I would return. It's the perfect place to catch-up with friends and there's so much to do you can easily while away a weekend without leaving. I didn't take many photos this time, as I was busy making … Continue reading A Return to The Ned, London

Exploring Seville

June 23, 2019June 23, 2019Leave a comment

Seville is perfect for a long weekend away. We loved the Alcazar (see my previous posts on Seville) but even if you don't get there, it's a great city for just wandering around, stopping for Spanish coffees in little squares and eating copious amounts of tapas. It's so beautiful and I would feel quite safe … Continue reading Exploring Seville

Plaza de Espana, Seville

May 30, 2019Leave a comment

The PlazaΒ de Espana in Seville was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition the following year. For some reason I thought this was going to be much larger and linked to other buildings when in fact it is a solitary crescent in a park. It was built to showcase Spanish architecture and craftsmanship: It is … Continue reading Plaza de Espana, Seville

The Alcazar of Seville πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

May 16, 2019May 16, 20192 Comments

I have to give the Royal Palace its own dedicated post as it was one of the highlights of our trip to Seville.I knew it was going to be beautiful but it completely blew my mind. If we hadn't had the kids with us, there's no doubt that we would have stayed there all day. … Continue reading The Alcazar of Seville πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

Easter in Seville πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

April 25, 2019April 25, 20192 Comments

Seville at Easter is quite an experience.Β I'm embarrassed to confess, we were completely naive and didn't realise to what extent the Sevillians celebrate Easter. I thought they'd just be a few parades on the weekends! We arrived quite late on the Tuesday night and hadΒ booked the Novotel for the first night before going to our … Continue reading Easter in Seville πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

Packing for Seville πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

April 14, 2019April 14, 2019Leave a comment

By the time Easter comes around I'm desperate for a holiday. This time we're going to Seville, Spain and once again my hubby has insisted we go with hand luggage only (eye-roll). I therefore need to be particularly savvy in the packing department and looking at the weather forecasts, this is going to be a … Continue reading Packing for Seville πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ

Dean Street Townhouse, London πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

December 9, 2018Leave a comment

Like Kettner's, Dean Street Townhouse is another Soho House hotel in the heart of Soho. However there is no harking back to another era here (see my post on Kettner's here) and things are a lot quieter and perhaps more discreet, starting with the entrance which is so unobtrusive I must have walked past it … Continue reading Dean Street Townhouse, London πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Lisbon, Portugal

October 6, 2018October 6, 2018Leave a comment

Wow, where is the year going? I can't believe how behind I am on my blog posts, so please bear with me. I really liked Lisbon. Yes, it's hilly (trainers are definitely a must) and a bit rough around the edges but to be honest that's why I liked it. It feels European with a … Continue reading Lisbon, Portugal

Casa Amora, Lisbon

September 8, 20182 Comments

I have so many photos from Portugal I didn't know where to start!Β I suppose the logical thing is to begin with where we stayed first. We chose to stay at Casa Amora in Lisbon because there were rave reviews about it's breakfasts! Who doesn't love a hotel breakfast right?! As you can probably tell, we … Continue reading Casa Amora, Lisbon
