We’ve done our share of driving across Europe in the last 18 months. We’ve done it 3 times now, from London, to Romania and back again. The first time it went pretty well and I posted about that Europe road trip here. The second time we were caught in the middle of a crazy heat […]
Richmond, England. Photos of London Life
Richmond, England, is one of the places we call home. This pretty Thames-side town on the beautiful Thames with stately architecture, passing rowers, great shops and dining along with easy access to central London is a place I always find hard to leave. Living in Richmond Upon Thames on and off since 2001 has given […]
Food in Greenwich, London. Photo Post
Hi! Just a quick one about the amazing food on offer at Greenwich Market on the east side of London. We visited Greenwich a few times last year and had a great time, but this summer we’re basing ourselves here for a few days to get to know this area inside out. We’re so lucky […]
London: Coming Home
Hi there, we’re home. I think I last posted from somewhere near Prague where we found ourselves stranded with a very hot and bothered car. We made it. We drove through to Bonn and from there straight to Calais for the ferry to Dover. That night we drove on to Twickenham and treated ourselves to […]
Do We Celebrate Halloween on the Road?
Well, the answer to that is, sort of. Many holidays pass us by if we’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, but the Easter Bunny has visited us in Florida ( but not in India) and Santa has called in London and Wales, but what about Halloween? Halloween in Britain. For me, growing […]
Where to Eat in London on Vacation
Where to eat in London for those of us who love good food and want to keep an eye on our spending? London is one city that could destroy your trip budget in food costs, if you’re not smart about where you spend. Eating out 3 times a day here, as we would in Asia, […]

This could be hotels, hostels, apartments or other family accommodation. Budget and cheap […]
Luxury Family Apartment in Central London
This family apartment in Kensington,London, was so lovely that we just wanted to drop the packs and stay forever. It was in West Kensington, just a couple of minutes walk from West Kensington tube station. This area has a lot of huge old buildings and many have been converted into short let flats and apartments. […]
Going Up The Shard.
We’ve admired The Shard from a distance for a long time now. We’ve seen her sparkle in summer sunshine, glisten in rain and glow in the Christmas lights of London. But we’ve never been up. This has been a major oversight for me as the mother of a devoted Whovian. All Doctor Who loving little […]
The Best Beach in Britain? Woolacombe Bay

The Great British seaside is a wonderful thing, if you’re looking for bucket and spade summer holidays or bracing winter walks and fresh air, just get yourself down to the beach. If you don’t know […]
The Grant Museum of Zoology. A Great Free London Museum For Kids
You could spend a lifetime exploring London’s free museums, particularly if, like me, you have kids to educate. I’ve already posted about London’s biggest and best free museums that appeal to kids, The Science Museum, The V&A, The National Gallery, The British Museum, The Tate Modern and the V&A’s Museum of Childhood, but here’s another […]
London’s National Gallery of Art For Kids
You will only see a collection of art this incredible, free, in London. ( If you know of anywhere else let me know, we’d love to go.) London’s National Gallery of art is simply AMAZING! They have them all, Van Gogh, Monet, Reubens, Stubbs, Titian, Botticelli, Van Dyke, Constable, Cezanne, Da Vinci, too many to […]
The British Museum with Kids
The British Museum is billed as a place to see the world without leaving London, and it’s true. The museum is a treasure house of amazing art and ancient artefacts spanning all of human history and every culture, housed in a visually spectacular and historic building in Bloomsbury, Central London. I’ve lost count of the […]
