I’M FREE!!! WOOHOO HAPPY DAYS. My two weeks quarantine is over. Skipped out of my house and did a little “Dancing In The Street” rendition I’ve been practicing in my kitchen for the last two weeks (nothing else to do). […]
Like many industries, the travel industry is hurting right now as tourism has simply stopped. We have gone from looking at the issues of over-tourism to no tourists whatsoever in just a few months, as countries have closed their borders […]
A month in the Dordogne was just the tonic I needed to step away from my life for a minute and reboot. To be honest, it was more fill my boots than reboot - with rosè, coffee, figs, cheese, croissants, chocolatines, baguettes, tomatoes, tapenade and the rest.
We did a little road trip down to the South Of France from the Dordogne, stopping of in Carcassonne to spend the night. The Cité de Carcassonne in France is an outstanding example of a medieval fortified town and well worth a visit. Despite perhaps relying a little too heavily on tourism these days - the old area is very busy and commercial, if you have any children with a penchant for waving a wooden sword about and donning a tabard, then this is the place for you.
Issigeac Market, Aquitaine in the Dordogne region of France is one of the most frequented of the Sunday markets and people come from far and wide. It really is one of the most quintessentially French markets you could hope to find and made even more spectacular by being hosted in one of the prettiest towns in the area, with a spectacular church in the main square.
The little rural cottage where I’m staying in the Dordogne is perfect and time has slowed down significantly. I can see why this sort of country farmland living is so appealing for busy lives in London. Pockets of the house […]
I’m in the Dordogne, the romantic backwater in rural Aquitaine. Much less busy than the South of France, unless it’s market day. The view from the little rural cottage where I am based for a month is of lush vegetation […]
I think I might have previously mentioned that I started learning French two years ago with a friend, mainly in protest at my mother’s referendum vote. The problem is that it’s taking more time than I anticipated to be able […]
Sussex Modern is a new collaboration of carefully curated galleries, artist houses, wineries and performance venues all designed to celebrate the county’s contribution to modern culture and to showcase the county’s natural landscape. Thirty six extraordinary spaces explore historic and […]
We all know that Brighton, just an hour or so from London, is supremely cool with lots of eclectic gems to offer. But it’s the surrounding areas of Sussex that remain a little more undiscovered that I want to share […]
I have just spent a few days away in France, staying near a little town called Eymet, in the South West Dordogne region and not far from Bergerac. Eymet is a beautiful, typical Bastide town layout which includes an open […]
I hate this stupid ongoing trend for Gap Year Travel. I wasn’t bloody allowed to have one – probably because they weren’t invented when I was their age, but honestly, it’s so traumatic for the parents, I think they should […]
