Flashback Friday Travel Photo Memories 21 – Honeymoon in Stellenbosch

As private garden spaces go, this verdant spot at a Boutique winery in Cape Town is pretty damn perfect!  This was the garden outside our cottage at Camberley Wines. As you can see the cottage comes with a lovely labrador (the owner’s, but he seemed to like the sunny terrace and the view…

Best of 2014

Best of 2014

What I have loved (and, frequently hated) about this year is that I have captured and recorded a photo for every day of the year – just one left to go for tomorrow! I’ve put them all in one place if you want to have a rapid look!  It’s been interesting, and flicking back…

Flashback Friday Travel Photo Memories 19 – Dorset “I do”!

This is one of my favourite photos (and days)! Given the camera we had at the time – it is even more amazing! Mr P was in the process of changing jobs but had some time on his hands – so he’d done a bit of ‘shopping’!  Before the new job started, off…

Winter is the time to update the travel bucket list

Winter is the time to update the travel bucket list

It’s amazing how much a travel bucket list can change, even since I started writing this blog!  Granted I have checked off a few places that had been on the hit-list for a while (Greece, Sardinia, the Giants Causeway), but the list changes depending on what we see and enjoy from our travels,…

Flashback Friday Travel Photo Memories 18 – The Cheshire Loop

“There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats” wrote Kenneth Graeme in Wind in the Willows! And he was right! And what was also interesting was that ‘boats’ don’t have to have sails (my preferred option) – they can actually  have engines and very unpowerful…

Only 31 photos left in #project365 – here’s November

I took a deep breath at the start of November – there was an incredible amount to fit in!  Sitting here in December – I managed it and I’m not exhausted!  Flights being on time (and flat beds) really do make travel much easier to cope with! So – November dawned like another…

Flashback Friday Travel Photo Memories 10 – Morocco

Morocco was a fam trip that my husband was invited on where I was able to go to – perfect result, and a great long weekend away in somewhere I hadn’t before considered.  Ever since – I’ve been trying to get back there, but we just haven’t managed it so far sadly. We…

Interesting characters from our travels

Another great link up idea, thanks to the lovely ladies Emma, Kelly, Rebecca and Molly – most interesting travel characters! Well apart from the best celeb spot and conversation that we have so far managed in the British Airways Concorde Lounge I had to have quite a think about this…. We don’t tend to make…

Flashback Friday Travel Photo Memories 9 – Minorca Sailing

Not all holidays have to be relaxing, although we did have plenty of time to relax when we weren’t sailing! Minorca Sailing is one of the better equipped beach sailing companies and they also are very good at race training and racing for experienced sailors!  We had a week down there honing our…
