Sailing on a Tall Ship on the high seas is right up there with the greatest travel adventures in the world. When I was offered the chance to join a historic ship, I leapt at the opportunity. My journey would be on the Williams II, an impressive vessel […]
Fancy a trip around the islands of Venice on your own boat? What could be better than messing around in a motor boat, acting like George and Amal Clooney on their Italian holiday? Just one snag… how to drive the boat. I’m sure that the Clooneys had a private […]
When I told friends that I was going to Skye for a week’s holiday, they warned me that rain, hail or thick fog would descend and ruin the trip. “It always rains in Scotland” was their warning cry. But they were wrong – when I arrived, it didn’t […]
St Michael’s Mount is one of Britain’s most stunning coastal locations. It’s the jewel in Cornwall’s crown. This small island is cut off from the mainland several times every day so it has a character all of its own. A flotilla of small boats carries passengers from one side of the […]
It’s bird bonanza time on the Farne Islands as migrating birds flock onto the islands for the summer season. This makes the Farnes one of my top summer holiday trips. For our feathered friends, this is more than a bird vacation. They are here for romance and – let’s be […]

It wasn’t my first whale watching trip but it was definitely one of the best. A perfect summer day in Maine on a lovely boat in Boothbay Harbor with calm seas and a bright, blue skies. I’m never at my best on boats but this memorable trip soon […]
I love islands. There’s something about their isolation and separateness from the modern world that intrigues me. It’s almost as if they exist locked inside a time capsule, bound by their own sense of space and time. Horizons unlimited. Sometimes they’re wild and forgotten places but they can […]
As the sunny glow of this year’s great British summer starts to fade, my trip to Flatford Mill and Dedham Vale couldn’t have been more timely. This place epitomises the spirit and tradition of the English countryside with its rural landscapes, thatched cottages and slow-going pace of life. It is like walking […]
Puffins are back for the summer! It’s a great season to watch these birds in their full glory along the north east coast of England as they start to raise their chicks or ”pufflings’. Thirty thousand puffins live on Coquet Island, a tiny rocky isle, a mile from the harbour town of Amble on the Northumberland […]
