Having a holiday or weekend break is something we’ve all taken for granted over the last few years. But the travel industry changed beyond recognition in the blink of an eyelid when the Covid-19 pandemic struck . The world of travel is now a very different place to […]
With many of us living under ‘lockdown’ and stuck in our homes due to the Coronavirus, I’ve been wondering what it would be like to live in isolation for a long period. The nearest I’ve come to that experience was a trip to Biosphere 2 near Tucson, Arizona […]
I love Spain but the Balearic Islands have never featured in my holiday ‘top 10’ wish list. Friends have tried to convince me that Mallorca is a great destination, extolling the virtues of its beautiful coastal scenery and pretty villages. But I wasn’t to be swayed. Perhaps it […]
Breaking down in the motor home on a lonely country lane with diesel streaming onto the road was not the best start to my holiday in rural Wales. We were miles from the nearest garage, it was a Sunday morning and everything in Cardigan Bay was shut. Worse still, […]
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 Abbs is a strong contender for the title of Scotland’s prettiest village. It lies in a stunning location, nestled on the coast below dramatic cliffs with spectacular views across the sea. This is a place with something for everyone with its picturesque harbour, spectacular coastal walks, undersea adventures and abundance of […]

El Rocio is Spain’s strangest town. Nestled on the edge of the wild lagoons and marshes of Doñana National Park, the town looks like a film set from a spaghetti western. You’d be forgiven for thinking that cowboy Clint Eastwood might emerge from one of its taverns, unhitch his horse and ride off down the […]
Northern Spain is one of the prettiest parts of Europe. It’s a far cry from the beaches and Mediterranean coast of Spain, beloved by armies of sun seekers and party animals. We were looking for a road trip which took in the mountains, coast and historic towns for our motor home. Having […]
Northumberland is one of Britain’s most beautiful counties, but this wild and wonderful place is also one of the least visited. It’s on my doorstep so no surprise that I’m its biggest fan. With fabulous beaches, historic castles and a stunning coastline, it’s a shame that more people haven’t discovered its […]
