Our fantastic cycling trip from Lindau to Rorschach Family fun around Lake Constance If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll already know that we, as a family, love outdoor activities as much as we love our food! That means we love walking, cycling and anything outdoorsy – particularly now our son […]
We’ve just got back from another long holiday in Büsum, which is located on Germany’s North Sea coast. That means I’m now knee deep in washing and ironing! Writing this blog has given me the chance to relive our holiday, but the downside is that the washing and ironing pile is still looking at […]
Partying, weekends away with mates – and lots of alcohol. That used to be my perception of Norderney back in the eighties when I was a teenager. This East Frisian island on Germany’s North Sea coast had a reputation of being a party island; late nights, and not always happy outcomes. Thankfully, this is no […]
I hope you enjoyed reading my last blog about our family holiday to the Bavarian Forest in the summer of 2014. The eastern part of Bavaria, close to the Czech Republic, is a stunning region, and you’ll find plenty of things to do with children. I’d like to share more from our 10-day holiday, and […]
As you may know, we’re a small family of three – my husband, my 8-year-old son and myself. Although, strictly speaking, we are four if you include my gorgeous west highland terrier Charlie! As a family, we’ve travelled to many places in Germany over the past few years. In this blog, I’d like to show […]

In December 2015, we decided to spend a week in Bavaria, in the small village of Lenggries. We’d been there several years earlier for a walking holiday and loved it so much that we decided to go again – this time with our son. We ‘sold’ him a skiing holiday, which turned out not to […]
Crisp winter days, sledging, enough snow to build a snowman – everything we needed to keep a toddler happy. That’s what we were looking for in 2012 when we decided to take our then 2-year-old son on a winter holiday to the Allgäu region in Bavaria. When looking for family friendly hotels in Bavaria, […]
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. I’ve been a huge fan of them for more than 20 years and have been fortunate enough to have visited most […]
