We arrived back at the Wood Norton (after our little spin around the Cotswolds in that amazing Morgan) a tad too early for dinner and decided to head to the bar for a bit of light pre-dinner refreshment i.e. cocktails. The Espresso Martini is quite famous here and after a little (i.e. no) persuasion, I … Continue Reading
I maaaaay have over-indulged at dinner the night before. The good thing about that though – combined with the clear sea breeze meant that I slept rather soundly that night. (Seriously, nothing beats a good night’s sleep when you’re travelling). The next morning (after breakfast, of course), packed our bags, bade farewell to our hotel … Continue Reading
After lunch in Alesund and lusting over lighthouses, we carried on in the laid-back spirit with which we started the day and gallivanted through the town… Stopping off to say hi to Alesund’s very own grumpy cat (at the local glassblower’s) – a cat so grumpy it needed a sign to stop you from stroking … Continue Reading
Oh, I’ve got to tell you about this place as I found it pretty special and I think you might too! See in Alesund, there are quite a few good hotels to stay in but if you’re looking for somewhere pretty special to stay in, you should look to spend a night in Molja Lighthouse. … Continue Reading

Funny thing is, you never really think of beaches when you think of the UK. We’ve got the bright lights of London, the historic lure of Edinburgh and even the rustic charm of the Cotswolds that draw people near and far. That being said, the UK is about so much more than these ‘obvious choices’. … Continue Reading
As you probably already know, we’ve been loving our time in Valencia. We’d been hot air ballooning, midnight feasting and had a whole host of other experiences just waiting to be had in Valencia so I was understandably excited pretty much my entire time there. On this particular morning, however (after breakfast at the hotel), … Continue Reading
Exploring the Faroe Islands is hungry work and so, after a rather busy day on the island, it’s easy to understand why all my thoughts switched right from sight-seeing and exploring straight to food! 🍜 Luckily, in Tórshavn (the capital of the islands), there’s quite a lot of choice for delicious food (Faroese or otherwise) … Continue Reading
A weekend in the Cotswolds is always a good idea! Said weekend in question is made even better when you get to stay in an old historic British countryside home! It’s even amped up some more when you get a classic British car to see the weekend through with (more on that below). Now, this … Continue Reading
After seeing the magnificent Puente Nuevo bridge, (especially coupled with that uphill walk), all I could think about was lunch! (Yes, even before carrying on with exploring the rest of the city). As it turns out, lunch was quite an unremarkable affair so I’ll just skip past that one, and instead take you on a … Continue Reading

Thankfully, after our time in Malaga, we decided … Continue Reading
