After a full day travel an 8.30 start was not welcome! Alarm was set and after a very tasty breakfast in the Veranda Restaurant we grabbed a towel and set off for the snorkel adventure Chakanaab National Park didn’t quite live up to its name, the park was beautiful but it incorporates Dolphin Discovery and…

High Flying
Started the holiday in style by splashing out on a British Airways upgrade! The pre take off glass of prosecco was most welcome As well as wider seats, more leg room & a ‘private’ cabin, our welcome pack contained real headphones, flight socks, eye mask, pen & a toothbrush/toothpaste set We had complimentary newspapers and…
Living in a bloc
Gatwick airport and an overnight stay I used booking.com to book the in-airport hotel bloc. My daughter has never forgiven me for the hostel we stayed in, in Glasgow, referring to it as a prison cell, a windowless room in an airport, could this be worse? Check in was so easy, all prepaid so…
Brunch at The Bridge
Hubby drove me down to Dublin today to catch my flight – now you’ll have to wait and see where all I turn up, but as he loves D4 and all the great eateries the least I could do was buy him a bite to eat! Last Easter, with friends, we wanted a pub lunch…
Wedding Belles
So, today my Mum got married She arrived fashionably late John was only in a little bit of a tizz that she may have got lost on the way The registrar was the double of hubby’s cousin, but neither of us got a photo Keith & Johns sister Pearl preformed the witness duties…
Sneaky Beach Picnic
Delivery to do – perfect excuse for a few hours on the beach! Rumbling tummies took us to the Ramore in Portrush, a favourite lunch spot when we can find an excuse – Keiths Cod & Chips were probably the best ever and I’d my usual chilli beef pitta Our normal routine is to…
Inspired

Easter Monday A wee run up the coast to Ballycastle Contrary to the words of the song there was no Dulse or Yellow Man available – here’s a bag of delicious seaweed to remind me! We were working – market in Marine Hotel but still managed to get a walk out around the sea…

We heard a couple of weeks back that we’d won 2 prestigious Gold Awards and so we were invited over to the Presentation Mum came with me, sailed Stenaplus from Belfast to Cairnryan, it was…
Looking back on Madrid
Home a week now and still pleased that I made my first solo trip Favourite things about Madrid The Art, Prado & Thyssen-Bournemisza were outstanding The Food & wish I’d tried Tinto de Verano earlier as it was delicious How easy it was to get around & how I always felt safe The Plazas and…
Last days in Madrid
Sunday morning had the market firmly in its sight! Walk from Sol or Latino it said on google so instead of changing at Sol I just got off the train & walked, and walked, and walked some more….. Sure there’s only 3500 stalls, how could I not find that??? After an hours walk just when…
Lows & Highs
Saturday was my low day, at least that’s how it started! I’d planned to get out of the city but after all the walking I’d done I didn’t really fancy the hills of Toledo Grabbed a quick breakfast, can’t remember where then took a wander around town, had read about San Gines the best Churros…
