A Family Travel guide to Guernsey

Promotional Feature As you may already know we recently visit Guernsey, the second largest of the Channel Islands, a place on a bucket list we were keen to tick off and it didn't disappoint, we had an incredible time and one we won't forget for a while. Being well travelled and having visited over 25+ countries I can honestly say Guernsey is something special and I know we will be back as it truly offers that relaxed island life without the long-haul stress, so if you're looking for a Brexit-proof break this summer then I highly recommend you consider the Channel Islands. I would say that reading up before you go anywhere is essential but if your planning on visiting with your kids, even more so, as you need to know there are going to be the right facilities and what to expect. Now what I loved about Guernsey was the lack of takeaway chains restaurants, garish seaside arcades or multi-story soft play centres - instead, the focus is far more on embracing nature, g......

Growing up in South Africa sundays were always long sunny affairs that were spent taking things slow, she was the master of putting together beautiful sundays brunches with french toast, different jams, frittatas, freshly squeeze lemonade from our lemon tree and all of us sat around the table outside overlooking the garden and simply enjoying the peace, quiet and family time together. Growing up I never wanted to live anywhere else - I have a happy childhood and loved our hom......

London, Champagne, Canapes and Watches

John and I were lucky enough to be invited to the Global Blogger Search for Guess watches in London, to view their new spring/summer collection over champagne and canapes. We decided to make a day of as we haven't been to London together for a very long time as one of us has always had to stay at home with Arthur so it was a great for both of us to have a little bit of us time together. On the way there we had a cheeky upgrade to first class on the train from Cardiff to London...the seats are sooo comfortable I wish all the train carriages were like that. Once we got into Paddington we took the underground to Oxford St to visit the Albam store just off Carnaby St, unfortunately not long after that we got caught in torrential rain and decided to take refuge in one of my favourite traditional pubs on Wardour St - The Ship were we had a much welcomed Pear Cider and Pint of Guinness. We then had a stroll around Soho and picked up some very yummy crepes. The rest of the afterno......
