Which city have you visited most often? For me it’s Florence (if you discount the UK where we live). It’s happened more by luck than planning but I’m happy to have become a regular in the past few years both for solo and family trips. It’s a gorgeous place! Here’s…
Read moreLike him or not, Pinocchio is an iconic character that you’ll see dangling from market stalls throughout Italy and particularly in the region of Tuscany where the story was written. This is also where you will find a Pinocchio Park – Parco di Pinocchio, in Collodi. This picturesque town is…
Read moreThis summer we revisited an Italian city we first ventured to when the girls were toddlers. We have lots of memories from that trip to Florence with toddlers, but it was great to be able to share the city with them again a few years on. Plus we had the…
Read moreOne of our very best holidays of the year was our week in Lake Garda in August. I love Italy but this was a new destination for me, so extra exciting. A spot of pre-trip research and seven days exploring soon revealed plenty of things to do in Lake Garda…
Read moreAt the very top of our Italian holiday bucket list the summer was a day trip from Lake Garda to Venice. We knew it was going to be a long day and that there would be difficult moments with a five and three-year-old in one of the world’s most famous…
Read moreAny fan of architecture, history or engineering couldn’t help but be intrigued by Venice. This iconic Italian city founded 1,500 years ago is a marvel and as picture perfect in real life as in the countless films in which is it is featured. Up until the summer this was the…
Read more*Advertisement feature* This summer we went camping in Italy with Al Fresco Holidays who invited us to stay at Eden – a campsite on Lake Garda. It was a multi-generational holiday with my parents and my first holiday abroad with them in donkey’s years. I was so excited before we…
Read moreA visit to Siena is a must when you are in the Tuscan region of Italy. I set foot in this beautiful Italian city for the first time in March and was wowed by the medieval architecture, its incredible yet unfinished Cathedral and the symbology on every street corner which…
Read moreI always get nervous about revisiting a place I’ve adored. Will it be the same? Or will I leave disappointed that it did not live up to my memories. This thought crossed my mind when I had the chance to return to Florence during a trip to Tuscany with Bookings…
Read moreOne of my biggest regrets from our first family cruise was that I didn’t do enough research about our ports of call. Sicily was our first stop and a bit of a missed opportunity. We arrived on a Sunday morning while it seemed the whole island was still sleeping –…

![Beach life! I’m loving every spare moment that I’ve been able to throw at my first post about our Caribbean cruise, particularly the half hour I had today to start writing about some of the beaches we visited. 🏝
This is me at Devil’s Bay on the British Virgin Island of Virgin Gorda. We went snorkelling here and at The Baths beach, which you can walk to through caves formed from massive boulders like the ones behind me.

Oh, and yes. I’m in a swimsuit. I don’t often get the bangers and chicken thighs out for Instagram but I’m proud of myself for buying this particular costume. I usually go for block colours and ‘safer’ necklines. But this one said ‘Caribbean’ to me. 👙
In the interests of full disclosure it’s from @zoggsuk but it wasn’t a gift. I have however received other gifts from Zoggs in the past [previous AD]. I bought this suit and another one for our cruise because I really rate their swimwear - it’s comfy, looks fab, and, most importantly, the cups don’t fall out or move around!! 👙
I’ll have that first blog post finished by the week. I will!! Anyone else struggling with their January to do list?
