Travelling in 2020 is a bit different for everyone this year. We took the difficult decision to not to travel abroad considering this was how the pandemic spread in the first place. So Spain has been put on hold and we decided on Devon, in particular; Dartmouth, as we luckily have access to a holiday … Continue reading Devon Summer 2020

Beautiful Bordeaux ๐ซ๐ท
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 ๐ซ๐ท

The Marqueyssac Gardens, Dordogne
The first thing we did when we drove from the Lot-et-Garonne into the Dordogne was to stop (for quite a few hours) at the most magical garden; the Marqueyssac Gardens in Vezac, just south of Sarlat. I knew from having seen photos, that it was going to be ย special but wow, it is such a … Continue reading The Marqueyssac Gardens, Dordogne
The Lot-et-Garonne ๐ซ๐ท
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 ย consisting of the Lot-et-Garonne,ย 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 ๐ซ๐ท
The Newt, Somerset ๐ฌ๐ง

Of course, being a complete boutique hotel freak, this hotel has been on … Continue reading The Newt, Somerset ๐ฌ๐ง
A Return to The Ned, London
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
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
The Plazaย 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 ๐ช๐ธ
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 ๐ช๐ธ
