Eats: Venice on a Budget, Trattoria Dai Tosi
Would you believe you can get dinner for two in Venice for £38.65?! Probably not which is why I’ve included the bill: A traditional backstreet Venetian taverna and only 20 mins walk from Saint Mark’s Basilica, Trattoria Dai Tosi is family run and frequented mostly by locals (chatting with one of the owners they think…
Eats & Explores: Burgers & Flower Fields in Worcestershire
This year (2023) marked my fourth year visiting The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company flower fields, it’s only open for 10 days each year and this year that’s from 30th June til 9th July.

Eats & Explores: The Bower House, Shipston-on-Stour
We’re in June, which you may know (if you read the nonsense I write here or follow me on Instagram, hi if you do! 👋), means that The Bean, aka the tiny human I’m currently growing, is officially due NEXT MONTH. (😱😬😅) How did that happen!? Anyway because I don’t like to do things in…
Explores: Portmeirion, Gwynedd
Last week my husband, the boys and the bump/I went to West and North Wales on a Sun holiday, staying in Haven sites at Pwllheli and Prestatyn. On the Saturday (13th) it was Mr Lizzie.Eats.Explores Birthday, and we spent the afternoon at Portmeirion Village, a beautiful way to celebrate I think you’ll soon agree… So…
Eats & Explores: 3 Nights in Athens, Greece
Bestie @jen.on.tour and I recently enjoyed a mini break to the Greek Capital, Athens. We had a brilliant trip and it was super convenient (and cheap) to visit from Bristol, so here are some of my (our!) recommendations… Transport Flights from Bristol are very reasonable, depending on the time of year. We booked in October…
Eats & Explores: A Night in Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire
Accomodation: The Cawdor Hotel Where: Rhosmaen St, Llandeilo SA19 6EN The Cawdor came onto my radar a few years ago when my mum stayed there – she raved about a free upgrade to a four poster bed and the exceptional food.
