Eats: Venice on a Budget, Trattoria Dai Tosi
Would you believe you can get dinner for two in Venice for £38.65?!

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: 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: Porthmeor Cafe, St Ives
Anyone that knows me or reads any of the nonsense I put on Facebook and Insta will know that I love St Ives! As in REALLY love it. Since meeting Chris in 2014 and being introduced to this little seaside town (claimed as the sunniest place in the UK), we’ve been at least once a…

Last weekend my husband Chris and I decided to make the most of a rare child free and work free weekend to take a trip to one of our favourite places – Cornwall. Unfortunately due to it being the school hols, our options were somewhat limited with prices inflated and a number of places imposing a…
Explores: My Barcelona Top 5
A year ago today was the last day of my incredible Barcelona Hen Do, organised by my amazing Maid of Honour Jen and Bridesmaid Kerrie. I was lucky enough to find out the location a week before our departure over a glass of prosecco (🥂 what else?!) and I was super excited to visit Barcelona again,…
