I have so many photos from Portugal I didn't know where to start! 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
I'm so excited to be going to Portugal for the first time! 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
We recently came back from a gorgeous family trip to South Devon. After having done many a staycation in this area when the boys were small, I have to confess I wasn't overly keen on the idea but thankfully this time the sun shone and it was a lovely few days. Travelling down here can … Continue reading Dartmouth, Devon 🇬🇧
I was in two minds whether to write this post as this is the kind of staycation that calls for more practical clothing and if you know me or read my blog, you'll know that's not my style! If you're heading to the UK coast and have been before, you'll know the weather is somewhat unpredictable … Continue reading Packing for Devon, UK
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. I miraculously feel like I've worn nearly all of my extensive Summer wardrobe already and have therefore … Continue reading Late Summer Buys
Well, it's been a while since I did a food post so I thought it should be a good one! I don't think it's much of a secret that Heston Blumenthal's "Dinner" at the Mandarin Oriental near Hyde Park is pretty good but I thought I'd share my experience anyway. This was the third time I've … Continue reading Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner, London
Summer is pretty much the only Season I am likely to be seen out and about in a dress. I am usually much more of a denim/trouser fiend but there is something deeply appealing about wearing dresses when the temperatures are rising. First and foremost is comfort - it's quite freeing to have your legs more … Continue reading Summer Dresses
I'm not going to lie, I did have mixed feelings when I first arrived for a stay at White City House in West London (although do read on!). I'm all for discreet entrances up to a point, but got thoroughly confused when I arrived as to where Reception was. (I didn't realise before, that Television Centre … Continue reading White City House, London
Summer Accessories are a great way to get excited for Summer (even when it's raining oustside) and upcoming holidays. At the moment I am really trying to be more conscious about buying things (which doesn't come naturally to me!) so I haven't invested heavily in accessories this year as I have so many in my existing … Continue reading Summer Accessories
We love Palma but being in the Mallorcan countryside made for a bit more of a relaxing break. If you do stay in the countryside you definitely need to hire a car. There are so many places to explore it would be a shame not to. Do be warned though that some of the roads … Continue reading Mallorcan Days
