Colombia Guide - Coffee Plantation Visit This is the last of my posts about Colombia - I could happily write about our trip for weeks but new season is approaching so I know we need to get onto that soon. Just now though it's still to soon to be thinking about new clothes, the [...] The post Colombia guide – Caribbean Islands & Cartagena appeared first on Midlifechic ..read more

It feels very exciting to be bringing this to you, I just hope there will be enough of us who'd like to spend an evening together chatting over dinner to give us the numbers we need for our booking. I love our evening get togethers but I always leave feeling I haven't had enough [...] The post Join me for a Midlifechic night away appeared first on Midlifechic ..read more

And just like that I'm back at my desk - it feels impossible that reality and everyday life still exists. Colombia was absolutely the trip of a lifetime and ever since we started the journey home I've been trying to work out why so that I could articulate it here. I think it's because [...] The post Medellin – a week of salsa and culture appeared first on Midlifechic ..read more

Well hello from Colombia. I thought it was going to be easy to keep blogging while I was out here but this week has been incredibly intense with barely a half hour to rest here and there. If you're following my travels on Instagram you'll know that we're doing an intensive salsa immersion which [...] The post Is Bogotá worth a stopover? appeared first on Midlifechic ..read more

Ok so that's enough of the heavy thinking posts for a while, let's take our very first 2025 look at some easy wardrobe updates. It's so lovely to see the first, very early glimpses of spring. As soon as Christmas was over we used to wait for my dad to start saying "we just have [...] The post Wardrobe refresh – pops of spring colour appeared first on Midlifechic ..read more

As promised this is my second rather reflective post on the theme of what 2024 taught me. Today though I'm also looking at lessons from the travel experiment that we've been playing around with over the last few years so that I can write this 'travel in midlife and onwards post' properly. Somebody told me [...] The post Travel in midlife and onwards – getting the most from it appeared first on Midlifechic ..read more

This post is late this year I know - it's a whole new month tomorrow. Before I start though I just want to thank you for all of the fabulous book recommendations last week - my Kindle floweth over - and for the enthusiastic response to the survey. As I explained last week I've approached [...] The post Reflecting on 2024’s midlife lessons appeared first on Midlifechic ..read more

As it's still January there's nothing interesting in the shops and payday hasn't come around yet so it's another chat post today - how's your month going? I hope you've managed to swerve this week's Blue Monday mood. I know a lot of people get themselves into a pickle about it being a manufactured [...] The post January catch-up – books, films, TV and fresh air appeared first on Midlifechic ..read more

I'll start with a thank you to everyone who got in touch last week to tell me my site was misbehaving. Midlifechic was having a bit of a midlife meltdown - clearly letting me know that it didn't appreciate being untouched for almost three weeks over Christmas. It seems to be a problem that's only [...] The post End of sale investments that I personally recommend appeared first on Midlifechic ..read more

Ways to make the most of 2025 Well hello, how are you feeling as we find ourselves in a bright, crisp new year? And crisp it certainly is - our views out to the snowy Lake District hills are so stunning at the moment that they don't look real. Anyway back to the feeling [...] The post Ways to make the most of 2025 appeared first on Midlifechic ..read more
