To find our Christmas getaway for 2019 I did the usual research of what places had Christmas markets and if they were any good. I had visited the city of Chester before when I travelled England way back in 2006. To be honest on this visit I didn’t really recognise much… Chester has a historic … More Chester – history and inaccessibility
Our travels have come to a halt in the last few weeks now that a baby has joined us! After a long labour we spent the next four days on a ward in hospital. When we were finally discharged we were glad to go home and get on with being parents. But now that our … More Registering a birth
I am posting this later than I wanted to as somehow it’s already February! We had quite a few adventures last year, including Disney World, Florida in May, Portugal in September and other trips in the UK; Shrewsbury, Cirencester and Leeds. 2019 will be a completely different year, as a baby is on it’s way … More 2019 Expectations
Animal Kingdom in Disney World, Florida was already a brilliant theme park, but now with the exciting and colourful night show and the new land Pandora it’s right up there with Epcot and Magic Kingdom. The two main attractions in Pandora are the two new rides Flight of Passage which I have already written about … More Pandora – A New Land
We are now down to only 3 weeks until we go to Disney World! It will be pretty much exactly 2 years since we last went and are very grateful that we are managing to visit again in a relatively short space of time. It will be a different trip this time, as it will … More What’s new for us in Disney World!
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. We spent just the one night in Shrewsbury, staying at the Premier Inn, which was rather well located … More The Sights of Shrewsbury
We chose a lovely day to visit Tattershall Castle in Lincolnshire, it felt like a summer’s day! Situated in the little village of Tattershall, the 15th century castle is in great condition and looks more like a tower than a castle. It used to have spires on top of each of the four turrets, but … More Tattershall Castle
Albufeira has been on the to do list whenever we have been in the Algarve. This time round was not different. We caught another local bus, this time from the Senhora da Rocha bus stop next to the Intermarche. It was 4.15 Euros per person each way again, as it was to Portimao. We got … More Albufeira in July
Belton House is located not far north of Grantham, in Belton. On the day we visited there were horse trials taking place on the grounds. This meant it was a bit busier than usual and the constant drone of the commentators voice could be heard around the grounds, which meant it wasn’t as peaceful as it … More Belton House
We went on Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom four times when we visited Disney World in 2016 and I couldn’t get enough of it. I beat Emma three out of the four times. I think I actually got worse each time we played and Emma got better! We are both huge fans … More My Favourite Ride
