Richard had treated me to a holiday for my 35th birthday and it was the first time we were leaving Thomas for more then one night.

It had been a busy weekend so we were looking forward to some R & R. We got up at 3.15 and left the house at 3.35, it was still pretty...

Our big holiday of 2017 was Sri Lanka, this was our last foreign holiday for a while with a baby due in August. We wanted to have a far away trip and we were limited as Zika virus was in a lot of countries which makes it dangerous for pregnant women or those trying to conceive as can cause disabilities with unborn children.
