  • Our Stay in a Yurt at Waterperry Alpacas

    If you’re looking for a countryside escape, the yurt at Waterperry Alpacas won’t disappoint! For my 30th birthday, Alex surprised me with our first trip away with our daughter Adelaide, who was 8 weeks at the time. With no idea where we were going, we packed up the car – full to the brim with…

  • England

    Ah England, our home country. As we live here, we will no doubt be filling this space with day trips, weekends away and loads of tips and tricks for travelling the country. We have of course been to SO many places here, especially in the South/South West where we live, but we rarely take the…

  • Cornwall

    One of the very few positives to come out of the COVID pandemic was the fact that we were forced to stay and explore our beautiful country as opposed to jetting off to another part of the world. Don’t get me wrong, the thought of 2 weeks in the sunny Maldives beats 2 weeks in…

  • The Vatican City

    The smallest country in the world is just about the size of a town square and is located across the river from the main parts of the city of Rome. If you want to visit, we’d recommend planning a trip to Rome for a few days and popping over for a visit; there are some…

  • Sandomierz

    In Summer 2020, we flew out to Poland for a friend’s wedding which was taking place in his home town of Sandomierz. It was quite a last minute holiday for us as, although we had known about the wedding for a while, we assumed it would be cancelled due to COVID. We only found out…

  • Krakow

    We travelled to Krakow from Sandomierz by bus which cost us 40zl each (approx £8) and took around 3 hours. The transport in Krakow itself is the same as most European cities. It has a direct train service, a bus station, airport and the all-important Uber. There are also some other fun ways of getting…

  • Poland

    In August 2020, we went over to Poland for a friend’s wedding. Initially, we weren’t sure if it was going ahead still as COVID had put a halt to most UK weddings, however Poland had much fewer cases and the wedding carried on. (You can find out exactly what to expect at a Polish wedding…

  • Singapore

    On our way back from Australia, we stopped over in Singapore. We were meant to have a couple of days to explore the city but due to flight changes (we travelled just as Coronavirus was hitting the globe) we were limited to around 20 hours. When we arrived into the airport, there were airport scanners…
