family life & travels
Even though we have a habit of going abroad for our holidays and always talking about how bad the weather is, the truth is, we live in an incredible country. The UK is stunning and filled with natural beauty, it’s just that we usually get stuck inside the big grey cities instead of going out
When you have got young children and are busy with work and family, there isn’t much time for nights away as a couple. Even a date night out of the house can be a rare thing, but to have time for just the two of us (without the early morning wake up call), can be

A couple of weekends back we went to the Cotswolds for the first time. It is only around two hours drive from us, so I’m not sure why we didn’t go before. We were staying at the Tewkesbury Park Hotel for one night, so we had all of Saturday and Sunday to play with. While
