We booked an island tour (semi private – which means that potentially up to 10 other people could book to come with us 4) to cover most of the major sights of the island. We paid and gave our information over. And were told they would meet us at the hotel at midday. As it … Continue reading Review: A semi private bus tour of Santorini
We met up with the 3 bridesmaids on the one day for a boat trip, it departed from the old port in Fira, so we met up in Fira and took the many steps down to the port. It was an experience. Not one I would like to repeat ever… but an experience none the … Continue reading Review: Hot Springs and Volcano
We had looked into loads of different options, but realistically needed a 2-bedroom accommodation, with the facility to wash clothes. We came across Lefteris Houses, the price seemed too good to be true. It was distinctly lacking in a pool, but it had everything else, was in a quiet location and was really cheap. So … Continue reading Review: Lefteris Houses
On the morning of our big trip to Santorini we headed over to Heathrow (Terinal 5), our flight was with BA (British Airways). We had booked assistance as the children both have different things they struggle with. I did try to talk over the phone to see what assistance we could get, but they wouldn’t … Continue reading Review: The BA Experience
We struggled to get into the car park (it’s a fast road and it was busy, and the entrance kinda sneaks up). But once we’d worked out where it was, managed to turn around and come back again it was all good. Check in was fairly easy, and comprehensive, and our room was ready and … Continue reading Review: Sheraton Skyline Heathrow
Last year, we started a tradition that each May we would take a holiday in Cornwall to celebrate the children moving in with us. With the holiday (actual living somewhere else for a week) symbolising the move, but also to reiterate to the children that it’s a positive thing. We have various things we do … Continue reading Happy Moving In Day
Perranporth Beach I have so much time for this beach, having visited it several times over the years. We like it because there is good access to the beach from the car park on the promenade, town centre. Which was reasonably priced (I think the most we paid was about £5 for 6 hours). Within … Continue reading Reviews from our Cornish Break 2017
Treasure Trails We have done a couple of these, this is a bit of fun for the family… it’s a bit like geocaching, but with a twist. Each trail has a theme for example, a spy mission or a murder mystery. With a background story on the inner page, and the clues spread out with … Continue reading Treasure Trails
What a week? So many things cropped up to set us back, but we’re all getting back on physical form now so actually, we could work with it. Still not there on finding our feet, but definitely made an impact. Every day, before breakfast has begun, our plan is to work on our reading; snuggles … Continue reading The light at the end of the tunnel
ARGH! What a week. I am officially naming the week, “The Slump” everyone has been so riddled with illness from tummy bugs to flu like colds, we have all endured all of it. And we are wiped out. It’s always the way though isn’t it? When you have been over-exerting and then you slow down. … Continue reading The Slump
