I know it’s only the beginning of Autumn and it’s far too early to mention the c-word! After a fantastic summer I really don’t want to be looking at the Christmassy bits already adorning our supermarket shelves – or to be thinking about arrangements for the Christmas holidays. BUT, if you’d like to visit a […]
If you didn’t read my last blog about why we decided to go to Büsum for our summer holiday this year, you can read it here. We absolutely love being by the North Sea and we always come home feeling completely relaxed after spending one or two weeks breathing in the healthy, sea air. […]
With weeks of temperatures reaching way over 25C, no one can argue that we haven’t had a good summer this year! Even in the UK we’ve all enjoyed the warm evenings and being able to sit outside without needing to wrap up. We, as a family, always love eating alfresco – both at home and […]
Have you ever heard of the tiny islands dotted along Germany’s North Sea coast? They are known as the East Frisian islands, with all of them providing the idyllic location for a stress-free holiday.

With its stunning scenery and mild climate, there really is nothing not to like! When we planned holiday, we wanted to include something a little bit different. We […]
Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg: a food lover’s paradise Whenever we’re on holiday or I’m out discovering places for my website and community, I try and avoid succumbing to a fast food break. Food is such an important part of my life that it feels like I’m cheating myself if I don’t take my time over […]
Hooray! It’s summer in the UK and that means holidays, sun cream, sunglasses, al-fresco dining and pub gardens. But do you know what Germans like to do on those long hot summer days? I’ll give you a clue – it’s cold and really delicious! In Germany, there seems to be more gelaterias than pubs! Most […]
Düsseldorf’s hidden gems As well as the well-known areas of Düsseldorf, I wanted to discover some of the up and coming trendy areas.
