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
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
To round off our summer adventures we went to Madrid in September. I had not been to mainland Spain for 14 years, so I was looking forward to it. There were plenty of hotels to choose from, most were called hostels, including the one we stayed in. We were situated just off Sol Square, which … More Remembering The Summer – Part 3
Our summer was nicely busy with travel this year. A month after Portugal we were in Amsterdam, Amsterdam – A city that tries too hard although the weather was at the same standard as the UK. Amsterdam is a city that everyone seems to have been to and it was on our list as a city … More Remembering The Summer – Part 2
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

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. However, for the pedestrian it is not enjoyable… Cyclists and motorcyclists had their own lane, which took a bit of time to get used to for us as most of their … More Dam(n) Bicycles
We needed a night away from the stresses of what feels like everything at the moment. So we booked a night away at The Derby Conference Centre, in Derby funnily enough. The Derby Conference Centre does not have a good ring to it. They really should add ‘and hotel’ onto the end of it. It … More Another night in Derbyshire
2016 was a great year for travel for me and Emma. We went to Disney World in May, which was my first trip and Emma’s fourth! It has been something that Emma has wanted me to experience since the dawn of time! After two wonderful and exciting weeks in Disney World I am now as … More Memories & Expectations 2016 to 2017
Scarborough is one of our favourite destinations and we have been on quite a few occasions. But on our latest visit we saw a new part of the town, which we have never come across before. We walked along the Esplanade, which had magnificent views of the sea and the town. We were searching for … More The Italian Gardens
