European City Breaks
Exploring European cities in three days In 2024 and 2025, instead of having longer stays, we planned a series of short trips to different European cities. In 2024, we visited Oslo and Prague and later this year we plan to visit Copenhagen. We usually fly out on a Monday and fly home on a Friday.…
Music USA
A trip through the Southern USA music capitals. My Mum and I spent the school Easter holidays on a 2 week fly drive in the USA. My Mum has a ‘special’ birthday (as she calls it) this year so wanted to do a special trip. She has always wanted to tour the music capitals in…
London – my favourite city
I have now been to London three times and think it is my favourite city. In October 2023, I went with my Mum and she took me to places we had not been before. First I got to several of my favourite sports and streetwear stores. We had to queue to go into Stussy, but…
Hot Summer Days in Rome
We spent a week in Rome, just before this summer’s heatwave. We combined three days in Rome city centre with three quiet days at our holiday park. The holiday park was about 50 minutes from the centre of Rome by public transport. It had a great swimming pool area with three pools, as well as…
A Football Stadium Tour
As an extra treat this summer, my Mum took me to Manchester for a few days and arranged for us to go on tours of the Etihad Stadium, Old Trafford and also Anfield. It was great to be able to visit all three in one week. We went to Manchester City’s Etihad stadium first and,…
Back to the Channel Islands
Or at least a trip to Guernsey Having had a great holiday in Jersey in the year before the Covid lockdown, my Mum and I decided to go to Guernsey this year. We stayed in Cobo Bay at a hotel this time rather than self-catering. It was a nice room and the hotel was just…
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
A few days in Hampshire We went to visit my aunt in Hampshire for a few days and I had a great time visiting both the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection and the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu. Both are places I would recommend for families to visit. The Boscombe Down Aviation Collection was packed with…
London 2021
I am due to visit London for a few days soon and thought I had better write about my visit last year before I go again. There is so much to do in London and we only had two days. We spent the first day going round many of the main sights including Trafalgar Square…
Visiting Angels in the North
A summer visit to Newcastle 2021 Because of Covid, my Mum said we would have any holidays in the UK this year. Our first trip was to Newcastle, stopping off on the way in Berwick on Tweed. I love staying in hotels and we stayed in one in the centre of Berwick on Tweed. It…
Missing Travel
Lockdown has been hard for many reasons, but mostly I have really missed travelling. In 2020 we were due to go to eastern Canada but had to cancel our trip. We have not been able to go anywhere since so instead I have started writing a list of places I want to go. My first…
