Andrew and I headed off to work on Friday morning all packed up, excited and ready for a fun-filled weekend away to Bath with Claire Richards. We had arranged to finish work early so Claire picked us up in Richmond at 4pm and we hit the road. She has a gorgeous little new light blue Mini Cooper which I fell in love with! Can't say I'd complain if I was driving around in one of these groovy wee cars one day! It took us a while to get out of London but once w...

This morning we got up fairly early and made our way to the reception of the hotel to check out and have some breckie in the dining room there. We all had a yummy hot breakfast to kick start our day which was just what we all felt like. We had a little drive around Nailsworth before making our way to Malmesbury where we came across a very upsetting situation for this wee township. The rain has been so heavy over the last few days that we saw extreme flooding whic...

This is the family that Andrew and I holidayed with in the South of France in August which was only a couple of weeks after we arrive...

We had a nice breckie at the apartment this morning and planned our day to make sure we fitted everything in that we wanted to try and see.

Not only was I the last to sleep but was the first to rise and barely slept in between but thankfully I felt fine and was excited about visiting some more amazing sights in this gorgeous city we were in. We had a leisurely breakfast at the apartment before heading out which was great because there was n...
