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 [...]

I wonder if you're feeling like me this week, that Christmas is a bit of a white knuckle ride just now. I did so well getting organised for our first round of Christmas which was in Newcastle last week. We had a brilliant time and I'll tell you all about it when I come up [...]
