There's actually something rather comforting going through Summer photos whilst you're in the midst of a rainy Autumn. Our Summer holiday this year was a 3-centre mix  consisting of the Lot-et-Garonne, the Dordogne and Bordeaux. It was basically a huge French love-in that completely blew me away, so if you're beginning to think about your holidays … Continue reading The Lot-et-Garonne 🇫🇷
It's so exciting to do a 'Packing for...' post! I just can't wait to spend some quality time with my family eating copious amounts of cheese and other wonderful French produce.

As much as I like layering and am not afraid to mix things up, in the Spring it doesn't require so much … Continue reading Spring Prints
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 🇪🇸

We're going to Lisbon, the countryside North of Lisbon and the Algarve so if you have any tips, do let me know.The first point of call will be Lisbon so I need flat shoes for walking and negotiating those hills, a decent sized … Continue reading Packing for Portugal

This Summer has been an amazing one (weather-wise) in the UK with gorgeous sunny days since May. No doubt this will change next week, but even if it does we have our Summer holiday to look forward to.
