I do love a pretty village whether it’s a coastal fishing village or chocolate box Cotswold one. So after I didn’t manage to get there earlier in the summer, we made it to Clovelly Village. Clovelly is a private village…
I couldn’t believe it when I got back to work after our recent camping trip to Woolacombe. While we were there for other groups or people they knew on the beach, then one of my blogging friends said she’d been…
On our recent annual camping holiday, the one thing we mums determined was essential when camping with kids was food. And plenty of it. It’s not always easy to keep stored, especially in the recent hot weather we’ve been having,…

When we go on holiday, just N and I, it’s usually a last minute booking and decision on where we’re going. I tend to look for places near the coast because we’re so central, it’s the only chance we get…
