Glamping. I’d never been a “glamper” before, and had only vaguely heard the term when Simon, owner of Glisten Domes, asked our family to come and visit him in the South of France last September to experience a new way of holidaying close to nature, but with creature comforts – and some very fun luxuries….

There are some opportunities in life that are just surreal. Being invited to River Cottage for the day is on my list of “how did I get here” moments, and as the days melted away before the date arrived, I still couldn’t quite believe it was going to happen. When it finally rolled around, I…

The thought of 45 minutes quiet time, drifting along the picturesque riverbanks…

This weekend was delicious and stomach churning in equal measure as we visited Cafe Rouge in Stratford Upon Avon with the boys to sample their new children’s menu. I love Shakespeare’s County – I grew up there, ate ice cream with my American penfriend [of some 34 years now!] whilst they were on their tour…
Prepare to pick your jaws from the floor – this weekend, I was out with friends! Baby Hero and I packed our suitcase and with a teary goodbye from the boys and the mister, we were bound for Cardiff on the night train. At the other end, the very lovely Debbie from An Organised Mess…
