Fabulous evening with these gorgeous ladies at the opening of new restaurant, @artezzanrestaurantandbar Chester.
Beautiful interiors, delicious Mediterranean food and great service!
Stunning, modern, 6 bed / 6 bath villa with pool and gardens available in the Algarve 18th - 25th June at amazing rate of 10,700 EUROS
Great opportunity for a last minute week away if you can do the 5 day quarantine on return!
Absolutely loving this new book by @daviniataylor
Straight talking and very relatable, sharing realistic changes we can all make for a healthier lifestyle.
Thank you!
One of my fabulous clients had to cancel their holiday to @vakkarumaldives this year but they have just re-booked for next January making it an even more amazing trip by staying @barosmaldives too!
6 nights on each of these beautiful islands has got to be THE holiday of dreams.
With low deposits and flexible booking / cancellation terms, now is actually a really good time to get something booked to look forward to for later this year or next.
Us small, independent businesses really need your support right now 🙏
I might not be able to hop on a plane to Lisbon to check out the stunning @palacioprincipereal as planned tomorrow but this weather is making up for it 😊

What a beautiful evening. Cheers 🍹
Thank you for a delicious lunch in your beautiful home @annabeljanegriffin @lepetitmondeltd
Can't wait to start booking your gorgeous hotels for all of my clients who are keen to getaway as soon as travel opens up.

Really missing amazing hotel breakfasts from my travels but thanks to our @vonshef_uk waffle maker, these beauties are a doddle 👌
Summer ready for tonight's opening of @izakayalounge Chester thanks to fabulous hands and feet by @jadorenaillounge Hoole.
Bargain mock crock sandals from @homebargains - so comfy but will brave heels tonight 😬
The Caribbean has always been popular for winter sun and it's one of my favourite destinations - you can't beat a cold beer on the beach with a bit of background reggae!
It's great to see clients looking forward and booking great hotels like @curtain_bluff for later this year.
This luxury, all inclusive property boats two beaches, action packed activities from tennis to water sports, state of the art spa and gym, outstanding dining including one of the best wine cellars in the Caribbean PLUS all rooms have stunning sea views.
The fate of our summer holidays is still unknown until the next government update later this month.
I have been in touch with everyone due to travel in July and August to discuss options and delay balances where possible.
Some people are still keen to travel to Amber destinations if they can quarantine on return but for others it's just not practical, in which case we can amend or cancel.
I won't be taking any new bookings for July and August until we have a definite Green light but many people are still booking with low deposits and flexible terms for later this year and next. Let's face it, we all need something to look forward to!
One lucky couple hope to be jetting off to the fabulous all inclusive lifestyle resort, IKOS Dassia Corfu in September.
Let's hope things are looking better by then 🙏
On a more positive note than my last post, plenty of people are getting dreamy holidays booked in for later this year with low deposits and flexible terms, including a fab couple headed for @kanuhuramaldives in November 😊
Catching the last of the sun with a large G&T and @condenasttraveller before kids go back and getting work head back on to handle the inevitable holiday changes and cancellations following the recent blow to summer travel 😭
Kids had THE best time at a friend's birthday on the adventure trail @manleymere yesterday.
Think jumping in a huge muddy pond was the highlight! Now to wash the stench out of the clothes and shoes 💩💩💩
Another beautiful morning in Costa del Wales 🌞
Should have called him velcro!
Early morning beach walk followed by this amazing brekkie @llanbedrogbeachbar 😋
Easy sub 2 hour drive, fish n' chips on arrival and a gorgeous sunset dog walk messing about on the beach, perfect! Well almost....until youngest child started moaning due to itchy wet clothes (he did dive straight in fully dressed). Walk back up to house not so fun 😂

Amazing how much better blue skies and sunshine make you feel after a very long winter, chilly Spring and A LOT of rain 🌞
Holly was chuffed to received a Top Chef wooden spoon after trying a couple of recipes from @cheftomkerridge & @marcusrashford 's @fulltimemeals
We are looking forward to recording us cooking this weekend, to be used as part of the marketing campaign to get families cooking and eating affordable, healthy meals together ❤
P.S. Puppy borrowed!
Transported from rainy Shropshire to Greece at lunch with @lisagroometravel & @vb_private_travel today.
Thank you Victoria, so yummy! 😘

How stunning is this bespoke mural by @florencesuperart at Abersoch's hot new dining venue @thepottedlobster_abersoch opening mid June.
@jojobradleyinteriors have been working hard on the interior design scheme to bring something fresh and stylish to the Llyn Peninsula.
We can't wait to check it out in person.
The menu sounds amazing! 🦂🐙🦂
If this isn't the dream set up over @peligoni I don't know what is.
Oh to be heading back here with my best guys and gals @chewitt261 @hughit @lestroismazots @schueyandsenna and all the kids.
Best holiday with the best people EVER 💙💙💙
It's taken a few months due to waiting for a tiler but we finally have a finished bathroom and I love it!
Thanks to @adam.bebbington for helping with the plumbing, Don Stephens for the amazing tiling & @mackleyt for fitting, painting & pulling it all together.
Just need to put my @nobuibizabay & @osborninteriors inspired mirror from @etsy up, fit towel rail & choose a blind now - any ideas on colour & style welcome!
Floor tiles are Briana Rose from @tilesdirect thanks to inspo from @banish_the_beige_
Wall tiles are from @clay.and.rock - Don said they are amazing quality & although I chose a complex pattern, so worth it!
Suite from @easybathrooms who I'm hoping will let me return the mirrored wall cabinet we don't need even though it's been a while 🤞🙏
How good do these new dishes look from the Rhodes Restaurant @calabashhotel Grenada 🇬🇩
Can't wait to get travelling again and enjoying amazing food like this in beautiful destinations like Grenada.
This would have been very apt today after being caught out in a hail, rain and thunder storm on my evening dog walk!
Check out @mabel_uk for some fab statement tee's and cosy sweats.
They have just added some great pieces to their Outlet Collection too.

Lovely anniversary lunch, sheltering from the wind and showers, in the marquee at the Grosvenor Arms Aldford.
13 years married and I think nearly 20 together!
We both deserve a medal 🏅 especially after a year in and out of lockdown, home-schooling and no travel / holidays.
So who's jumping on a plane to Portugal after the 17th May?
Yesterday's government announcement following the Global Travel Taskforce review wasn't quite a positive as we had hoped, with a very limited number of leisure destinations on the Green List, notably Portugal and Madeira.
The list will be reviewed every 3 weeks so let's hope more of our favourite summer destinations will move from Amber to Green before the summer 🤞🤞🤞
Bathroom and sea view goals @sixsenses_ibiza opening this July.
Progress on the bathroom reno front.
We finally have these gorgeous @clay.and.rock tiles laid (thanks to a life saving, fabulous tiler after a couple let us down). Just grout and silicone to finish tomorrow and then the sink, shower and screen can be fitted.
Final push @mackleyt 🤩
This week's @fulltimemeals recipe...
Tortilla Pizzas!
We all loved making this super tasty, healthier alternative to the lardy shop bought ones 😋
