Coming home

Sunday, August 21, 2011

We haven’t disappeared, honest. Nor have we been eaten by giant hamsters or small but greedy wilderbeasts. We’ve managed to avoid being kidnapped by Cliff Richards, Bernie Clifton or either of the Krankies, and none of us have been laid low by the pox or a really bad verucca. We’ve actually been away in sunny France exploring the [...]

Who lives in a house like this? Celtic Haven we’re moving in!

Come on in, let me show you round… Isn’t it gorgeous? This was our home for three days and two nights. Three days of pretending that this little bit of heaven was ours. On the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline, known for its tales of pirates and fairies, our weary travellers arrived at their destination on a dark and rainy [...]

Dear lovely readers We are having a fab time here in Raguennes, France courtesy of Keycamps.

There are some places that are almost too special to share. I always feel a little nervous when I write about this one as it’s so small and perfect and unspoilt, and I love it. But for you Tara, and for the fabulousness that is the Gallery, I give you Wembury, Plymouth. It’s where that beach [...]

My festival post is up over at lovely Linda’s Have a Lovely Time travel blog. I’d love it so much if you’d pop over and have a read, especially if you want to see Miss M in her festival hat, some muddy wellies, and, wait for it… THE TOILETS. Right now I’m off to bed. I’ve been delaying [...]

Camping Butterflies

She perches languidly atop brightly coloured foliage. Shades of pink, white and south sea island blue. Long, soft, slightly awkward in appearance, she exudes an air of contentment, of comfort. Occasionally she lose her grip and slips a little, only to wiggle and lurch her way back up to the sweet spot. Then she settles [...]

Almost Like a Snail

Today I am almost…just a little bit… like a snail. I don’t mean that I am slow. Or slimy. I can’t climb up high walls. I don’t hang around in people’s gardens and worry their plants. No really, I don’t. But I am like a snail Because I now have a home I can carry… I could even probably wear it if I [...]

Often when we travel as a family we do that thing where we pick a house, a town, a lifestyle that we would kind of like to try out. You do that too right? Those little pipe dreams, the lure of the idyllic, the attraction of that which is beyond reach right now, but who [...]
