Indie Friday Shopping Guide
It has been so refreshing this year in the run up to Christmas to see so many messages and support encouraging supporting small businesses over the big brands. Never is this message more important than around Black Friday, which can be a slightly disheartening display of mass consumerism for small businesses. That is why I …
The Brecon Beacons
A few weekends ago we went to the Brecon Beacons with Millie & Jo of Millie Benbow Photography for our engagement shoot. I had decided fairly early on that I did wanted to have one, partly because I knew it would help Karl and I feel more comfortable in front of the camera on the … Continue reading The Brecon Beacons
Watergate Bay Hotel
Somehow, in the blink of an eye, it has been six months since Karl proposed. A lot has happened since then. We welcomed Martha, a springer spaniel cross whippet, from an accidental litter nearby (we call her our ‘sprippet’!) into our little family. We’ve more or less planned the wedding – which is going ahead … Continue reading Watergate Bay Hotel

And whilst this goes … Continue reading The Yoga Farm
Monteverde Rustic Lodge + How We Choose Where To Stay
Costa Rica is the twelfth country in our round the world trip. This means that we are extremely well acquainted with hotels, hostels and guesthouses. We have had some amazing ones, a lot of mediocre and a few which have brought me close to tears. We appreciate the simple things: cleanliness, genuine + friendly … Continue reading Monteverde Rustic Lodge + How We Choose Where To Stay
IN FOCUS: TORRES DEL PAINE – HIKING THE W
Patagonia had been one of the first places on our mind when Chile became part of our itinerary. The rising snow-tipped mountains from photographs and the brilliant blue lakes were enough to persuade us, but we also read about spectacular trekking and wildlife. However, as usual, we left the fine-tuning of actually working out how … Continue reading IN FOCUS: TORRES DEL PAINE – HIKING THE W
