The weather was so lovely last week (the summer we never had in August) we decided on a little trip to the coast was in order. So on Saturday off we went to Poole. We had a day of people watching (I was fascinated by the kids crabbing/fishing and using bacon as bait!), boat watching, [...]
Part 4 Our last day in Paris… Not even a full day Our Room / Kitchenette at Citea Paris Quea d’Ivry. (I would highly recommend staying here, it was an hour from the center but for the price we couldn’t complain and would 100% go back again!) After finishing off the packing, taking photos of [...]
Part 3b. We made our way to Notre Dame cathedral, I only realllly wanted to go because of the free entry and because it’s one of those things that everyone goes to see so I wanted to see it too! I’m not even religious, and Danny even less so than me but I’m so glad [...]
Part 3a. Sunday morning (a wet sunday morning) and we were on a mission… To find Danny some cigarettes. Setting off from the hotel in the morning we didn’t know what a mission this would turn into. Sure, I hadn’t really seen anywhere selling them the previous day but then we were in tourist land [...]
Part 2 – Saturday in Paris. First thing Saturday we had to go food shopping – Carrefour was gigantic but only a 10min walk away! Food shopping done, breakfast eaten (pain au chocolat and coffee, of course!) and a packed-lunch made (baguette with ham and cheese) we made our way back to the station and [...]
Paris – Part 1. I think it’s only right that you should get to read all about our journey to Paris, with some really bad snapshot photos too… Because it did take us 10 hours from leaving home until we arrived at the hotel. It only takes 1 hour on the plane from the UK [...]
The weekend before last (note how it always takes me a fortnight to get the photos off my camera and then to blog about what I’ve been upto!!) we all went to The Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford. We being me, Danny and his parents. Danny reallllly wanted to go but the tickets [...]
We went to Baththe other weekend – It was supposed to be a “day trip” but after going to bed rather late the night before it turned into an afternoon trip!! I wanted to check out a craft fair held their which I was thinking of signing up for… Well, let’s say I no longer [...]
The Saturday before last we went for a little walk by the river in Calne. Call me a city girl (although technically I’m not!) but I don’t recall seeing baby ducklings before, perhaps my childhood memories escape me! I’m almost tempted to say they are cuter than kittens, I could have sat watching their antics [...]
In yesterdays blog post I showed you our journey to the New Forest… Today let me show you where we stayed and what we saw… Arriving in the village of Bramshaw our first quest was to find the campsite. Our directions were vague to say the least but we did have a phone number to [...]
