I don’t think there are many mums who woke up on Mother’s Day in a yurt, but I was one of them as we had a weekend away in Dorset last week. There is a lovely peaceful atmosphere at Caalm Camp, a campsite with six large circular yurts, all built in a traditional Mongolian style, and I should say ‘glampsite’ rather than campsite as this is much, much more special than a traditional campsite. Wooden…
Credit Literature is full of gorgeous locations, from ranging moors to beautiful buildings and architecture. The best books describe these destinations so well that you can see them in your mind, losing yourself as you read. Leaving your own four walls behind and living for a little while in these stunning places. Sometimes, these words are from another world. Far away planets or space stations, different universes and places out of time. But, others are…
If you consider yourself a lover of film and TV then there’s no better holiday idea than to visit the set of your favourite movie or show.

I have never visited America, neither Central, North or South, but there are a few destinations in each that I’d absolutely love to visit! In Central America the top of my list is Costa Rica- partly because it has earned the title of ‘The happiest country in the world’ but also because the landscape is beautiful and nothing like we get here in the northern hemisphere at all! Whilst browsing online through Costa Rica rentals I was blown away by…

Whenever Sam goes on holiday I tend to start thinking about being on holiday too, mostly out of jealousy at all the amazing pictures he’s been sending me from the alps where he’s snowboarding. In a couple of years we’re going to try and do another family ski-holiday when the kids are old enough to go into ski-school, and probably me too seeing as I’ve never done it! Ski school, and snowboarding/skiing in general is…
I’ve been to France a few times, to Paris, a few towns on the north coast on school exchange trips and also to the Alps in the winter for a snow holiday. But so far I’ve never managed to make it to the south of France, home of beautiful beaches, stunning landscapes and the gorgeous blue seas- all things that I adore. I though’t I’d share the things we’d do and a few areas in…
We started off our morning after a hot cup of tea sat on the decking overlooking the gorgeous views talking about our night the night before, where we managed to stay up till gone 1am drinking rosé and playing Cards Against Humanity… then it was time for a gorgeous cooked breakfast thanks to Laura and we were ready to hit the road; and beautiful roads they were too! We drove through winding country roads with…
