73 THINGS ABOUT ME – BLOGGER VERSION OF VOGUE’S 73 QUESTIONS
Here's 73 things about me for my new readers! It's a bloggers version of Vogue's 73 Questions! A good bit of fun and something different for the blog!
View PostTravel blogger problems
As someone paid to solve problems, I raised a wry smile writing this post – my blogger problems have been the same for the years I’ve had my little corner of the t’interweb and I just haven’t done a thing about them, and have no plans to either! I guess that is the fun…
View PostJanuary fun and frolics
January for its dryness was very wet indeed. That’s wet from the sky not a bottle. I decided to do my first dry January and apart from a glass of red wine at 2am on 1st January as something of a night cap, I’ve had a lovely month of fruit juice and soda water,…
View PostTravel dreaming – I wish I was in…
This last week winter finally arrived in the UK – which effectively meant that the rain stopped for a few days and fell as snow and we all turned up our heating and focussed on the fact that the evenings are lengthening and kidding ourselves spring can’t be that far off even though…
View PostTake 12 trips
12 months, 12 trips. Easy you’d think for somebody that likes to travel? Not so. There are months when we are either busy or away travelling with work and just want to hold the sofa down or enjoy a weekend in the garden and not go out and have an adventure. Despite this,…
View PostPenelope & Parker in December
December has been wet, I’d have lost count of the number of storms if it wasn’t for the new approach of naming each with a consecutive letter of the alphabet. I believe we were up to F by the end of December and I think it is fair to say most of the…
View PostSisterhood of the World Bloggers
My good blogging friend Kelly has welcomed me into The Sisterhood of the World Bloggers fold and I am happy to answer her questions – on a dreary winters evening it has warmed me up no end! I love Kelly’s blog – we have a similar take on life (work hard, travel hard…
View PostBlog addicts anonymous – travel linkup
My name is Anna and I am a blog addict… I am thrilled to be co-hosting this months travel linkup and what a fun theme – blog addicts anonymous – this month we are laying bare the blogging addiction in an online self-help group… Over the first week of the month (the 1st –…

View PostFavourite travel souvenirs – memories
This months travel link-up theme is all about favourite souvenirs. I rarely shop on holiday – we prefer to squirrel ourselves away miles from anywhere to relax or to explore coastal areas. I traipsed round the house a few times just to check if there were any horrible purchases lurking – but thankfully nothing! That said – we…
View PostMy 2nd blogiversary
2 years of blogging – sharing my travel musings with anyone that likes to read them – that flew by! Thank you for joining me! Never before have I had a hobby that doesn’t involve being outdoors. But actually – whilst the writing is based behind my Mac, the content comes from plenty…
View PostThings I would never do again…
It’s rare to talk about things I don’t think I would do again on my blog as this blog seems to prove nicely that I have my vacation ‘type’ well practiced! But we learn a lot by doing things that didn’t necessarily work well for us or we do things where once is enough.…
View PostMy 10 blog reading favourites…
The wonderful world of travel blogging works because it is a community – there is a lot of support from across the blogging network, many people have helped me on my little journey and already I find myself helping newer newbies that me! Clearly bloggers spend a lot of time reading other blogs…
View PostThe benefits of blogging
Another great travel link up from Kelly, Emma and Rebecca – as well as guest host Sara! The unexpected benefits of blogging! I’ve only been blogging for 18 months but have already stumbled across plenty of benefits that I certainly hadn’t thought about when I wrote my first musings! With any hobby or interest, it has…
View PostBlog hop – a look behind the scenes
It is always very rewarding to be recognised by other bloggers – especially those whose own work you enjoy. I spend so much time chatting to Kelly from “Around the World in 80 Pairs of Shoes” on twitter and instagram that I don’t spend enough time reading her blogs. I’ve just whiled away…
