As the nights start getting longer and the days get colder and wetter, it’s easy to forget that summer was only a few weeks ago, and more difficult to remember that we did use to have sunshine. I’ve realised that time has slipped away and we’ve somehow ended up in December and I haven’t written […]
Paris. Eponymous as the city of love. Frequently hailed as being one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Home of bohemians and romantic gestures. I’ve been to Paris six times in my life, and although I find something new that I love every time I go, I actually wouldn’t rate it as my […]
I’m sure it hasn’t escaped anyone’s attention that Christmas has just been and gone. As a clergy family we’ve been incredibly busy over the last few weeks with Christmas related stuff- an increased social calendar in church; the kids having various Christmas activities going on; preparing for family coming to stay; buying and wrapping our […]
One day I will get into the habit of writing things up soon after they’ve happened, but the last month or so has been so busy that I haven’t got round to it, and it’s only because I’ve got something else to write up that I’m getting round to it now! For the last few […]

The Universal Orlando Resort is made up of three parks- Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and their new water park, Volcano Bay. In the two weeks we were in Florida we spent 2 full days in Universal parks, and came back on other days a couple of times as well. However, we tried to be […]
I promised you the third instalment of our honeymoon adventure a few weeks ago, and I would apologise for the delay, however, I suspect that with Christmas and New Year in the middle, no-one will have been waiting with baited breath! While we were away I kept forgetting that we had a third week, and […]
Last month I wrote a post about the first week of my honeymoon, which was to the beautiful island of the Dominican Republic, and promised more to come. Our honeymoon was three weeks long so this is the second instalment of the trilogy. The first week was wonderful, relaxing by the pool, mixed with a […]
