I’m back with the main events from our Boston and New York trip.
Lunch
The food courts in America are amazing, so we didn’t mind making a quick pit stop at one while shopping. We went to Panda Express and had orange chicken and kung po with rice. The best orange chicken ever might I add.

In New York we hit it lucky and found that our hotel was attached to Tick Tock Diner. After travelling on Amtrak from Boston to New York we arrived just in time for some …

We’re lucky to have family to stay with in Wales when we visit, but check out these cottages in Wales if you don’t have a base.
And when you’re there this is what I recommend.
1. Dan yr Ogof Caves
We took Erin to the caves last year. The ticket includes a number of other attractions which includes a small petting off so a great place to take a picnic and stay all day.
2. LC2
LC2 is the newly refurbished leisure centre in Swansea. The waterpark is a must visit, you …

I wrote this post for English Mum, but the first weeks in January are always a bit dull so a good time to remind myself what a fab time we had
I’ve been eating my way around Boston and I thought I’d share my highlights with you. The trip was a two-legged trip, first few days were spent in Boston and the last two in New York. The food in America is pretty good depending on what you like, we went for standard American fare during this …

It will be the most magical and exciting holiday you will take as a family and making sure you plan and book everything right is essential to ensure you and your family get the most out of your once in a lifetime holiday.

Disney World Resort Florida have just what you need, fantastic webinar’s designed to cover everything you will need to consider …

Normally when you fly, the meals can be pretty boring but not anymore on the KLM Economy Class flights. They have now introduced  ’A La Carte’, a delightful range of meals which cost 12 to 15 euros.
There are four different types of meals available giving you lots of choice and there is something for everyone. Whether you are vegetarian, like it hot and spicy or love sushi, the great range of choices will cater for all your needs. The meal choices are Veggie Favourite, Japanese Delight, Bella Italia and Indonesian …

On our final day in Boston we took the underground to Harvard. I’d been going on about visiting Harvard since we first booked our trip, I have a bit of a fascination with educational establishments. Look, I’ll admit it, I’m pretty weird! After seeing Boston College, Berklee College of Music and MIT I only had to get Harvard to complete my collection

We had the worst weather that day (well apart from the snow storms in NYC!) but that didn’t deter us from taking the extra subway …

With the cold, crisp autumn breeze steadily upon us, there’s no better way to relax than to eat a traditional Sunday roast by a warm open fire. Any food lover will tell you, that when it comes to roast dinners, the Welsh do it best. With crispy roast potatoes, luscious leaks, a golden roast leg of lamb and crunchy vegetables all coated in a lovely layer of mouth-watering gravy, you can’t go wrong. So, here are five of the best places in Wales to have the ultimate Sunday Roast accompanied …

On our second day in Boston we decided to go shopping. First stop a hearty breakfast at Thornton’s. Alex had a breakfast bagel, I had poached eggs with home fries (spicy potatoes) and rye bread. We loved the Kitsch plates!

After breakfast we walked to the start of Newbury Street, one of the main shopping streets in Boston which had been likened to ‘fifth avenue’ to us. We were a bit early for the shops as I’ve been waking up at ungodly hours (still on British time!). We hovered outside the …

Finally our Boston and NYC trip is here! The trip is for Alex’s 30th which is in December. We left the house at 5am and arrived in Boston at 1.30pm, losing five hours on the way. We flew via London Heathrow which was eventful as the gate printed on our boarding card ended up being totally different to the ‘actual’ boarding gate which was at the other end of the terminal. This led to us having to jog the shuttle transit route below ground (the plane was already boarding!) as …

Erin’s been after us taking her camping for a while and with the summer drawing to a close I fancied getting away for another weekend myself.

We decided on ‘glamping’ and since we wanted to take Daisy (the dog) we chose a wig wam on Loch Tay. These little wooden cabins come with heating, a fridge, microwave and kettle and are the perfect compromise between full on camping (which I’ve done plenty of as a cadet and TA soldier) and staying in a cabin. Erin definitely still felt the …
