2016 has been our first year thinking as travel writers, although our travels, and the list of destinations has been similar to our previous years wanderings. It's been exciting, tiring, but, as always, rewarding.

Valencia, and the first time to feel the warmth of the Spanish sun on our skins. A food & drink odyssey, where thinking a little differently meant more fun in the sun.

Some may say a busman's holiday, but the City of London is a place close to both of our hearts and a wonderful place to explore. We took a weekend break to discover a bit more about the Square Mile, and a little beyond its borders.

Tales from the City

What better way for a family to have fun at a relaxed pace than the waterways of England.

The tales from that adventure can be found here.

A week long break through the Champagne Region of France, picking 3 towns as our bases. This road trip gave us the opportunity to explore the vineyards, and quaint towns of the region. With the car safely tucked up at night, the chance to enjoy a few bubbles too.
