Aaaccckk!!!! It’s finally here! 😁😁😁😁

Aaaccckk!!!! It’s finally here! 😁😁😁😁 Today’s our publishing date which means our book’s available everywhere in the UK from today! It’s been the best feeling seeing copies winging their way across to their new homes and we can’t even begin to tell you how much we appreciate your support! It truly TRULY means the world to us. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You’re the real MVP - we wouldn’t be able to do any of this without you! 😁😁😁😁

*Also, huge thanks to our managers @ryanlamont and @gleamfutures / @gleamtitles for the gorgeous flowers. 💐🌻🌷 I think it’s the first time anyone’s ever sent us flowers and it just made our already ginormous smiles even bigger this morning!

AAACCCK!!!! 🤗🤗🤗 Can’t believe this! We literally went into M&S to get a bottle of Prosecco on the way to Greenwich Park, because - HELLO SUNSHINE and decided to pop into Waterstones on a whim and look what we found!!!! OUR NEW TRAVEL BOOK!!! (*cough* Link is in our bio 😉😄)
To say we’re excited would perhaps be something of an understatement. I wanna say, we were all calm and collected but we were those people taking a million selfies with our book on the shelves. Still can’t quite believe it!

I’ve been told by TikTok that I’m no longer allowed to wear skinny jeans, which is a hard pill to swallow because I can begin to tell you how long it took me to get into skinny jeans to begin with 😄😄😄😄 (*On the flip side, I had like 10 women stop me in Belgravia today to tell me how much they like my trousers so it sounds like TikTok might be right).

Highland sunsets… Like the landscape wasn’t al

Highland sunsets… Like the landscape wasn’t already gorgeous enough! 😍😍😍😍 #Scotland

We’re back in the Scottish Highlands and it’s every bit as impressive as we remember! 😍😍😍😍

Going into the weekend super excited! We’ve just

Going into the weekend super excited! We’ve just received advanced copies of our book and it’s everything we wanted it to be! For the uninitiated, it’s all about the very best things to do in Great Britain which is quite apt as we’re currently packing for another British holiday as we speak. This book has been years in the making and we still can believe we’re actually holding it in our hands. It’s out in 3 weeks and (shameless plug 😄😄)- if you haven’t gotten yours yet, hop onto the link in our bio for a preview and to get your copy too. 😁😁😁

Also, huge thanks to our publishers @hardiegrantbooks / @hardiegrantuk and our agents @gleamfutures and @gleamtitles for helping us make our dreams become a reality. We know the destinations like the back of our hands but we’re total novices when it comes to publishing so can’t even begin to express how thankful we are for their help in navigating all of this.

ᵃᵈ The @rudloearms is such a visual feast! I

ᵃᵈ The @rudloearms is such a visual feast! I’d never have thought to put those crows in a room (swipe to see what I mean) but somehow it just works. And don’t get me started on all the other art in the rooms and outside of it too.

Thanks to the CleanPLUS experience that the hotel is part of, we got to relax straight away and get stuck right in, instead of spending the first 30 minutes attempting to disinfect the room - which, crazy as it sounds, is something we did every time we travelled since the pandemic began.
Yup - we used to travel with our own cleaning supplies! 😄😆 It wasn’t even about those other rooms/hotels not being tidy but instead about the stuff you couldn’t see - which only fuelled the panicked hotel cleaning even more.

Knowing that the @RudloeArms has the CleanPLUS sticker, which shows that it’s been cleaned professionally using trusted brands we’re all familiar with (e.g. Flash (Professional), Fairy (Professional) and Microban 24 (Professional)…etc ) meant that we didn’t have to concern ourselves with any of that cleaning stuff and could just settle in straight away, which, I kid you not, is genuinely such a huge weight off our shoulders.

ᵃᵈ We’re now double vaxxed but definitely no

ᵃᵈ We’re now double vaxxed but definitely not lax or relaxed when it comes to cleanliness on our travels. Literally saw something the other day about someone who’s been double vaccinated and still tested positive for COVID so cleanliness in hotels when we travel is still very much a BIG deal to us (as it should be, really). Not even kidding, since the pandemic, on what little travel we’ve managed to do, we used to take our own cleaning products with us - which is a tedious way to check into a hotel and one step we’re more than happy to stop doing!

One thing that definitely makes us relax on the hotel cleanliness front, and focus on more important things (like what to have for dinner 😄) is seeing that the hotel (or BnBs) are part of CleanPLUS Experience. It’s easy to spot too, it’s a Blue sticker which shows that the hotel has been cleaned to the highest levels, using trusted brands that we’re all pretty familiar with like Flash (Professional), Fairy (Professional)and Microban 24 (Professional).. to mention but a few.

The incredibly eccentric (and absolutely gorgeous) @rudloearms hotel by @marcopierrewhit is one of said hotels with the CleanPLUS Experience, meaning our own cleaning products could stay at home where they belong and all we had to pack was huge appetites for our weekend away! 🤤😋
