As we are about to embark on another camping trip, it seemed only right to share our recent trip to the New Forest! Back in June, we headed over to Fordingbridge in the New Forest to spend a weekend camping in our van. It was gloriously sunny and dry, and we were ready to spend … More Camping at Tom’s Field, New Forest
Have you ever been onboard a cruise ship? Neither had I until very recently – and I was so excited to have the opportunity to spend the day onboard Independence of the Seas with Royal Caribbean! Independence of the Seas has recently had a multi-million pound makeover, to revitalise her appearance and add in a … More Exploring Independence of the Seas with Royal Caribbean
Everyone loves staying in a hotel – and sometimes it’s even nicer to indulge in a little ‘staycation’! So, that’s precisely what we did last week at Room2 Hometel in Southampton. The new Room2 Hometel opened this month (read about the launch event here) and I was so excited to return for a nights stay. … More A Home away from Home at Room2 Hometel, Southampton
Last month, we headed off on our first trip away in the van this year. If you’re new to the blog, we (and I really just mean Tom!) converted a Renault Trafic into a camper van – and it’s awesome! You’ll need to grab a cuppa, as this is a long one… Our destination was … More Camping at Durdle Door, Dorset
A couple of weeks ago, we went on a long overdue weekend away at Center Parcs Longleat Forest – thanks to the Beast from the East causing our original weekend to be cancelled! My family has been visiting Longleat Forest for years – even before I was born – so it’s become a bit of … More A Long Weekend at Center Parcs Longleat Forest
A couple of weeks ago, we headed off to the forest for a much delayed weekend away (thanks to the Beast from the East!) at Center Parcs Longleat. We spent the long weekend eating, drinking Pimms and enjoying evenings by the fire – a pretty perfect way to while away the hours if you ask … More Exploring the Forest
While we were in Padstow back in October, we spent a lot of time thinking about food, eating food and researching where to eat next. So, with that in mind, let me show you our rather spectacular breakfast! We decided to go out for breakfast at Rojano’s, which is near the harbour front and tucked away … More Breakfast & Beer, Padstow
Back in October, we visited Padstow for a long weekend. Padstow is one of my favourite places to visit, especially in the Autumn/Winter months as there aren’t any tourists around! As soon as we arrived, we knew what had to be done first – a pasty each. I reckon we’ve got our priorities straight! I … More Padstow, Pasties and Trevone Beach
Our final day on the Isle of Wight was my birthday – so we spent the day mooching round and eating in Cowes! Which is a pretty good way to spend a birthday, if you ask me. We went for a ride on the new chain ferry, from East Cowes to West Cowes (the main … More Where to eat in Cowes, Isle of Wight
We visited The Needles on what turned out to be a very breezy day (evidence as above) – which was a little disappointing as the cable car was shut down! There’s still a fantastic view though. The weather was so windy, grey and miserable that we simply had no choice but to return to The … More The Needles & Newport, Isle of Wight
