Picture a manor house, built in the 14th century, with grounds that are far reaching and manicured to perfection. Look up towards the house and see the manor’s staff waiting to greet you, welcoming smiles on their faces, and ready to take your luggage. Now, add to that a complete feeling of calm the minute you enter through the archway leading onto the gravel driveway,…
I didn’t expect to find myself writing this review. In truth, our first stay at The Grosvenor Hotel fell very short of my expectations, and I didn’t think I would ever find myself staying there again! However, I always feel that you can tell a lot about a company and its attitude towards its business, in how they deal with an unhappy customer when something…
Brunch. The fanciest of fancy-ness. There is something a little indulgent about having brunch, especially when it is accompanied by beautifully chilled glasses of champagne! Well, we were that fancy last weekend when we headed up to the 39th floor of the iconic Gherkin to try the Searcys Sunday brunch in the Helix restaurant. Now, Sunday brunch at The Gherkin comprises of four courses, so…
Cast your mind back to your childhood. Did you ever go down to the bottom of your garden, be it a big or small area, to investigate what was under rocks or whether there really was fairies living at the end? Can you recall getting into the car with your parents to drive to your cousins house, and it seeming that you were in the…
One of the reasons that I started this blog, was to hopefully encourage and inspire people to explore more, add to their memories, travel both near and far and try new experiences. Life is for living fully and enjoying after all isn’t it! One of the things that Nik and I vowed to do a couple of years back, was explore more of the beautiful…

This months cuppa and a chat post was inspired by a realisation that I had a while back about myself. I was sitting on the train, going into London. My stomach was in knots, as it had been all morning. Even on the short distance into London I had talked myself into and out of the destination I was heading to. You see, I was…
I have always felt a real connection to the ocean. It calms me, makes me feel a strong, grounded in nature feeling. I love the ocean in all weathers, and can sit and watch it for hours! Nik and I have always talked about retiring somewhere that is near to the coast. Thats the dream…. I have spoken to you before about my love of…
I have a firm belief, that what you need comes along at the right time and what is meant for you won’t miss you. Well having just returned from the most blissfully relaxing retreat in beautiful Bergerac, that belief was confirmed and demonstrated to me yet again. I very nearly didn’t make it to the retreat, but, about five hours in on that first day,…
