2021 was another epic fail with abroad travel for us. We had a trip to Majorca booked in May, which was cancelled, then it was Ibiza in September, but we postponed that because of too much expense with covid tests, as well as the risk of catching covid while out there and then being stuck … More 2022…maybe this year
We stopped off in Beverley for a walk round, I managed to have a quick look inside the grand Minster, in between toddler meltdowns. I’m not religious in any sense but I love cathedrals, churches and minsters because of the architecture and history. Beverley’s minister is a must visit. We walked around the town, having … More Shots of Beverley and Hull
Ciutadella was the capital of Menorca as far back as the time of the Romans, even after the “disaster” of 1558 when the Turks decimated the city and sold every inhabitant into slavery.

It had been an incredible 5 months since we had been away! A long time for us traveller folk. But sometimes other things in life takes precedence and that was moving into our first house over winter.

After Amsterdam we were looking forward to Madrid, hoping for more sunshine and not such a crammed feel. We weren’t disappointed either. It was early September so the weather was still good, except for one day that was cloudy and mild. The Zoo – On our 2nd day we went to the zoo, which is … More 5 Must do’s in Madrid
Amsterdam is a city of many things for many different people, which is probably why it is such a popular tourist destination. We spent four nights there with my mum and brother and we could have stayed there for four weeks and we still would not have been able to do everything! Although, we would … More Amsterdam – A city that tries too hard
Amsterdam is a bicycling city, which is generally a good thing because it means less cars on the road and more people getting exercise.
