Ah Dubrovnik… The city on everyone’s bucket list (thank you, Game of Thrones). The first port of call on our Mediterranean cruise was this picturesque walled-city, and we were determined to squeeze as many activities as possible into the 6 hours we would be there. Walking the wall was top priority, so we bought tickets … More One Day In Dubrovnik
Some of our family came to visit us at our new home recently, and it was a good excuse to go sight-seeing around Colchester. We had so much fun showing them around England’s oldest town, and getting to know it a bit better ourselves.

Germany goes all out for Christmas, and we were excited to see for ourselves if German Christmas Markets are in fact the best. I think I’m still … More Berlin City Break

I live in a place where it’s cold enough to snow, but instead there’s just darkness, rain, and sogginess. As the days get increasingly shorter, it’s … More Happy *British* Christmas!
Where has the time gone? I can’t believe how fast the Christmas season is flying by! Andrew and I went back to the States for Thanksgiving this year, and it feels like life has been nonstop ever since.
