We’re a slightly transport obsessed family and my boys love anything that moves, particularly if it’s a little bit different. We’ll frequently visit somewhere and only purchase a day pass for their transport network. My boys would rather do that over many other things (which is great because it usually works out way cheaper than … Continue reading Exploring Chamonix: Scenic train rides for families
I wouldn’t have said I was keen to go to Chamonix on holiday. Reluctant and worried would have been a better fit. But my parents and brother have been to Chamonix a lot and love it so much that they return time and time again. They were convinced that we would love it to but … Continue reading A reluctant adventurer’s guide to Chamonix
For ages I put off going to Legoland Windsor because everyone I spoke to had only ever got there by driving. And it’s a blooming long way from where we live on the west coast of Scotland. I imagined Legoland being completely isolated, somewhere out in the sticks, in some wonderful little village that you … Continue reading Guide: Traveling to Legoland Windsor from Scotland

After the first trip to London didn’t go too well, I’m so glad we ventured back and discovered just how awesome it can be.

A sight I’ll never forget. The sheer scale and beauty of the Taj Mahal with the sun gently rising is something of dreams.
Any excuse for a holiday and I’m there! When I found out babymoons were apparently a thing, I had to have one.
