A BEAUTIFUL STAY IN ‘THE GREEN HEART’ OF ITALY

IT’S hard to believe now that just a couple of weeks ago, I was in Italy with my little family. As I sit here going through the hundreds of photos (!) and look outside my window at another grey day in Blighty, I can only wish I was back in beautiful Umbria enjoying the glorious Italian sunshine. I was sent to Italy by the wonderful Bookings For You. A company

A FAMILY HOLIDAY TO LAKE MAGGIORE, ITALY

IT seems only right that I finish 2015 with this post. About our family holiday to Lake Maggiore in Italy. Because it was a stand out holiday for many reasons. It was our first holiday abroad, through this blog. It was the first time we’d been to Italy with Elsie. It was also the place where I had the biggest health scare of my life. It was a time for

A LITTLE TASTE OF MALTA (HERE AT HOME)

ONE of my favourite things to do… When I visit a different country or a far flung land, is to eat. Lots. To eat all the local delicacies, to feast on new dishes, to try out new tasty morsels.

As we came into land, we flew over the most beautiful beaches and turquoise seas, pretty little villages scattered across the hills, all lit up by the most glorious sunshine. And so I knew, before my eager feet had even touched the hot tarmac, that I had found a Greek paradise.

WHY I LOVE MY BIKINI BODY (EVEN THOUGH IT’S FAR FROM PERFECT)

TOMORROW afternoon I will be stripping off. And, slipping into an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini. Maybe the black one. Possibly the red one. But either way, I will be popping it on and hot footing it to the nearest beach or pool. I haven’t been abroad for about four years so I am ready for the sunshine and the waves, the sand and the breeze, the relaxation and the

MY TOP TEN TECHIE THINGS FOR SUMMER

IT’S official, it is Summer time! (Even though the great British weather may not agree.) The kids are off school, the barbies are being dusted off and if you’re anything like me you’ll currently be in the midst of washing and ironing and packing, as you prepare to go off on holiday. Summer is just brilliant isn’t it? Such a happy time, for children and parents alike. I love Summer! As

BEING a blogger has brought me so much good fortune and happiness. But I have to admit, working with this super holiday company, is going to be right up there, at the top of my ‘jammy bugger’ list! Because today, I’m delighted to announce that I am going to be working in partnership with Bookings For You – a specialist provider of luxury Italian villas and apartments across Italy –

HELL YEAH, I’VE FOUND THE PERFECT BEACH BAG

IT’S true, I really have! Just think about what you look for in a beach bag… Room – to stash everything in. Waterproof – so your stuff doesn’t get ruined. Stylish – so you look sensational on the beach. (Naturally.) Tick. Tick. Tick. This beauty of a beach bag from Catherine Kelly has it all.  Which is unsurprising really when you consider that Catherine Kelly is an Australian fashion label.
