Travel the UK and Europe

I love to travel, and now that my sons are all grown up, I’m starting to scratch that travel itch again.

So you’ll find lots of reviews, travel guides and tips for travelling in my Travel Section, together with travel journals from some of my favourite trips.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your next trip, I’ve got that covered with destinations around the UK, across Europe and beyond.

And if you want a recommendation for the perfect hotel, I can help with that too. I’ve got reviews for plenty of places to stay from stately homes to cosy cottages, and even the occasional glamping experience!

Take a look around, here are some suggestions:

Food and Drink

At home and looking for something to cook? My Food Section includes a whole host of recipes from quick mid-week lunches to relaxed slow cook weekend dinners.

And if you’re in search of something sweet, then I have got some fab cakes, bakes and puddings for you to try out.

But if you would rather eat out, then my restaurant reviews will help you decide where to go. Here’s a taste of what you’ll find:

Home, Garden and more…

I cover all sorts of interesting topics in my Lifestyle section, from 40+ health and beauty, to the perfect seasonal bedroom makeover and tips for looking after your car.

And I love giving away prizes, so you’ll usually find at least one giveaway running each month.
