It seems very strange to think we’ve already reached the final month of 2016. Surely it was only yesterday that we moved to Devon and I decided to start logging all the little and large things happening in our lives in this monthly roundup. I know for a fact that I’ve said ‘things have been …

October is such a fun month. By now I’ve gotten over the end of the summer and can allow myself to enjoy everything that autumn brings here in the UK: the vibrant colours in nature, harvest inspired events and spooky half term fun. We’ve been taking in all of these things both in our on …

Back in March I was tagged in the Liebster Award blogging meme by Virginie at Travel with my kids. We’ve done a lot of trips away since then so I’ve only just gotten round to thanking Virginie and answering the great travel related questions she set me. Do hop on over and check out her …

‘Brilliance’ – meaning exceptional talent or intelligence. Or intense brightness of light. I am prone to a bit of a shiney completion so I’m guessing that I’ve found myself shortlisted in the travel category of the Brilliance in Blogging Awards thanks to the sun reflecting off my T zone.
