During our stay down south we decided to visit Mevagissey, a little Cornish fishing village. We made the mistake of parking in the first car park we came to, naturally that also appeared to be the most expensive, so don’t do that! After that initial error though, I really enjoyed myself. The harbour was so quaint and lovely, so between catching...

Part two of our UK holiday was a visit to the Eden Project. Firstly, I was struck by how small it was. From all the talk about it, I’d assumed it was Disneyland sized, but nope, it’s a pretty small area. Mum was pleasantly surprised by this as she found it less over-facing. I will say right now that I...

Part of our UK trip plan was to fit in some holiday time, time when we weren’t visiting friends & family, so during our time down south we spent a day at the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Heligan gardens are super close to the Eden Project so we bought the combined ticket to allow us entry to both, it saves you...

I am in the UK! Yay for hollybobs! Anyway, once off the ferry, we headed to the Maidenhead area to visit Step Dad’s sister & brother-in-law. We also took some time while there to visit Boulters Lock and Ray Mill Island, Step Dad has many memories there and it was a beautiful day for a wander. After a snooze at...

On the way home from our dental check up we stopped at Espace Louis Derbré to check it out. Mum and I hadn’t been before and there are a whole bunch of Pokestops there, perfect chance to have a nose around. Louis Derbré is a famous French artist, celebrated for his sculptures which take pride of place around the Mayenne area. The...

I did some more hunting for places to visit and happened upon the Marina del Este over on East of Malaga‘s blog. It looked like a nice place for a mooch one day so, on Thursday, we got in the car and went off to investigate. The Marina is situated between La Herradura and Almunecar, off the beaten track but...

I spent a day or so recently researching where we could visit in the local area here in Spain, a little trip out for us all, and I came across a blog post on East of Malaga about a Buddhist Stupa which seemed really interesting. On Friday we were out near the Zafarraya Pass dropping the dogs off for grooming...

On Thursday we went to Nerja Caves with our guests, a large cave complex in Spain. It’s a truly stunning place to visit but let’s start at the start as things have changed since our last visit. The caves are open 9h – 15h in winter and 9h – 17h30 in July & August, every day of the year except...
