It’s not often you feel like you’ve REALLY gotten away from it all. But that’s exactly how we felt during our few days at North Star Club.

A day trip to Córdoba
Córdoba is only 45 minutes by high speed train from Seville, so it made the perfect day trip for us on our second visit to Andalucía.
Our honeymoon – a country escape with Artist Residence
We were never going to be ‘two weeks in the maldives’ kind of people.
Instead of going away away, we fancied just a couple of nights somewhere fancy and closer to home.
Lindos travel guide – part 1
We’ve just got back from the most wonderful week in Lindos, so I thought I would share what we got up to as well as some travel inspo if you’re looking for your next holiday.
Lindos is a village on the east coast of Rhodes. It’s all about pretty white houses, endless sun and fried feta (just me?).
The ‘brochure shot’ is its clifftop acropolis towering over Lindos bay. What a beauty.

Liverpool photo diary
We had a fantastic time in Liverpool last weekend. Here are a few photos and some ideas for things to do if you’re visiting the city.
The waterfront and Albert Dock
We spent most of our time here, mostly because the weather was so good.
People were out enjoying themselves and it made for a nice atmosphere. There are great views and loads to do, with most of Liverpool’s museums based here.
Albert Dock was once a busy working dock, but now it’s a great place to shop, enjoy a drink and enjoy beautiful views.
