Every year my friend Becky and I head off on a travel adventure together - it's become a bit of a tradition, and something we always look forward to. Past destinations have included Athens, Budapest, Morocco, Istanbul, Argentina and Brazil, but this time around we decided to avoid the current hassles around international travel and explore a part of the UK that neither of us had ever visited . . .
Plácido y Grata – a new minimalist design hotel in Seville
When I was 17 and studying A-Level Spanish (I later went on to do a university degree in it), I persuaded my parents to choose Seville for our annual family holiday. In many ways it was a disastrous trip: my mum left her purse in the back of a taxi, one of my brothers got food poisoning and our flights in both directions were delayed due to storms. But I fell in love with this seductive Andalusian . . .
The Vipp Farmhouse – a rustic-contemporary Danish retreat
Fancy a bit of escapism to end the week? I certainly do, so let me introduce you to the Vipp Farmhouse - the fourth addition to the Danish design brand's collection of bookable accommodation (you can see the others here, here and here) and an idyllic slice of rural Scandinavian life.

It was the perfect place to relax, recharge and reconnect with . . .
The Bolder – a unique place to stay high above a Norwegian fjord
Every now and then images of a project which takes my breath away land in my inbox, and I get so excited that I end up rejigging my blog schedule so that I can share them as soon as possible. This is one such example. Perched high above Lysefjord in southwestern Norway and close to Pulpit Rock (made famous by Tom Cruise, who dangled from it in Mission Impossible 6), it's called The Bolder and . . .
A cosy stay at Cynefin Retreats, Herefordshire
Last week I shared a few tips on what to see and do in the beautiful county of Herefordshire, so for the second post from our recent trip I thought I'd put together a review of where we stayed: Cynefin Retreats. I know it seems a little odd to be publishing this just as travel restrictions are reintroduced across England, but I decided to go ahead anyway . . .
