A great visit to the Pyramids of Giza with the kids
We weren’t sure how this would go to be honest. Cairo at one of the hottest times of year when the locals tell you only crazy people visit, and at around midday too. Also one of the world’s most famous…
The glorious Garfagnana – Northwest Tuscany
Piano di Coreglia, where we have been with good friends Amanda, Fabio, Gill and Cesare (the dog) for the past few days, for some reason reminds me of Captain Correli’s Mandolin. There is no rhyme or reason to it, and…
A wonderful few days in and around Sotogrande, Spain
We are lucky to have great friends Ana and Simon and daughter Sara who invited us to stay at their place for a couple of days. As we had come down from Paris and through the Pyrenees this would be…
To Paris and beyond!
We get on our way. A great start to the trip with Jardin d’Acclimatisation, zoo and Eiffel Tower. From the UK (thanks again Liv) to Paris, taking in play parks at every possible opportunity. This is already turning into “The…
A day with kids around Gare Austerlitz in Paris
I do wonder how how many people find themselves in this same situation. A train leaving Austerlitz in the evening bound for the magical South. What’s to do with the day? For us, we had the golden tickets – couchettes…

Packing one bag each for the round the world trip
We leave in just a few days and the house is being packed away for storage. So the main thing on our minds at the moment is to make sure that everything we think we will be taking on the…
Where do the kids want to go on the round world trip?
It’s quite a big question, and although we will be away for a full year that time is likely to fly by quickly. We certainly can’t go everywhere and will need to make some choices. So we thought we’d ask…
Is there a ‘Perfect Time’ to drop everything and travel around the world?
So – it is decided. We are going to put everything else on hold and take a year out to travel the world together. Ever since we met we have loved to explore the world, to far flung places as…
How to pack for a year on the road with kids?
Some people think I am obsessed with this question (mainly Helen). I don’t think that’s true – she is much more obsessed with Made In Chelsea than I am about packing. But a professional life that has involved more than…
