When you’ve got young kids, nothing beats a family holiday . Getting away together is a fantastic way to spend quality time, keep the youngsters engaged, and even teach them a thing or two. One thing’s sure getting them used to flying and new cultures when they’re young is always a bonus. What’s more, there are plenty of family-friendly vacation spots to make the most of when travelling together and some Kid-focused hotels even host fun clubs should you want to mix culture and travel with also the odd break for an hour or two. However, a short child-free break can be a really positive experience. I recently went to Durham for two nights, it was the first time I had ever left our kids for more than a night, that's over 7yrs of not one proper child-free weekend away and you know what it went really well. Then kids loved having fun with their grandparents and we had a fantastic time exploring the historical northern town of Durham we all felt renewed and refreshed from our week......

Italy is one of those magical places that offers such variety that even if you have visited one city you long to discover more. I have been lucky enough to spend some time in Milan, Venice and Rimini before having children but I have always been left longing to go back. John and I have been discussing a possible road trip down to Italy near the end of summer and I have been putting together a few places I really want to see such as the famous Lakes and eating pizza in Naples but one city that really stands out to me and also features in one of my favourite travel inspired films (Eat, pray, Love) is Florence.

As you may already know as much as I like to throw caution to the wind every now and then I also really like to plan our trips and I am certainly the planner in our house and love nothing better than staring at a map all day working out......

For the love of Coffee
Beautiful Coffeeshop ( image ) I think I was fairly late discovering coffee having my first mug when I was around 19years old. I always use to drink Rooiboos tea which is the most popular hot drink in South Africa. I was introduce to coffee by a friend who loved going to a cafe in Cape Town called The Mug and Bean, I felt like something different so he suggested having a Mocha - you know the hot chocolate coffee combination, this was my first taste of coffee and after a month or two of drinking Mochas I found myself wanting a stronger coffee taste and switched to a Cappuccino which later turned into an Americano or an Espresso and that was it really I have been a coffee fan ever since. Although these days I have switched to Decaff it doesn't mean I don't like Artisan coffee, I still enjoy my Cafeteria daily at breakfast time and John and I are always on the search for the best flat white in Cardiff. Coffee can be found on my instagram, thats for sure John has ......
