First things first – we stayed just outside of Amsterdam, in a small village called Broek in Waterland. We stayed in the quaintest family run guesthouse called Inn on the lake. I’d found this little delight on Mr and Mrs Smith. It was just what we love – a nice quiet location but had amazing … More A long weekend in Amsterdam
Alex and I went to Mallorca for some late September sunshine. It was a short break but the weather and the island did not disappoint. I will be going back – that’s for sure.

Back in the early summer of 2021 I was trying to find as many ways as possible to get out on the water. One weekend Alex wanted to go sailing but I wanted to go paddleboarding. The wind speed was around 7knots from the South West. This was perfect for both sports. We decided to … More Paddleboarding from Lymington to Bucklers Hard
