Where is Socks??? One thing I discovered whilst travelling is that humans are born to roam, just look at the Romans, Vikings, Celts, Polynesians etc, history tells us that they were all travellers. Well the same most definitely goes for cats too, but having just relocated from Worthing to Wokingham one of mine has decided… Continue reading Even my cat’s a wanderer!
Since we got back from our travels almost two months early on 30th March, life has been slightly surreal to say the least. We stepped out of a pretty normal life in Auckland on 1st March when we boarded the M.S. Maasdam cruise ship and 28 days later we stepped off into what felt like… Continue reading Life, Loss and Love during lockdown.
There are some things which I am never too sure whether to write about, but I do find it extremely cathartic and at the end of the day when I very first decided to write a blog it was with the intention that Cameron would have the opportunity to read it back one day and… Continue reading Melbourne – Coming Full Circle
Some of my British friends think it's a little strange that we as a family celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK but this has become a ritual in our lives for the last 11 years now and with our ever increasing busy lives it is a lovely opportunity to re-connect with our nearest and dearest,… Continue reading Celebrating Thanksgiving 2019

I confess that before that trip I didn't really even know where Cape Cod was and yet… Continue reading The Family Tree
It is true isn't it? I don't think I have ever seen an overweight asian in my entire life and yet having circumnavigated the globe I can officially say that they have the most flavoursome food in the whole world. Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Malaysian, Indonesian - the fusion of herbs and spices used to flavour… Continue reading Why aren’t asian people fat??
When I was last in San Francisco in 2010, I most definitely left my heart there. Coming back 9 years later I feel like I have re-claimed it again. San Francisco is ALWAYS going to be a place filled with emotion for me, it is the city where my brother lived, loved and lost his… Continue reading I found my heart in San Francisco!
Today marks the start of Dying Matters awareness week, an annual event which takes place in May each year and opens up nationwide discussion of the very important but often taboo subject of death, dying and bereavement. If you haven't heard of this growing initiative before then take a look at the hashtag #dyingmatters this… Continue reading Dying Matters – So does living.
No save haven for children onboard MS Maasdam - One weirdo following and befriending our children, before inappropriately touching them. Of all the places in the world where I thought I might feel a little vulnerable or concerned about our safety, I wasn't expecting to experience it on a cruise ship. I'm not going to… Continue reading It only takes one weirdo!!!
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away" Today I woke up feeling incredibly blessed. I opened my eyes, opened the curtains of my balcony cabin aboard the 'Ovation of the Seas' and caught my first glimpse of Milford Sound - one of… Continue reading Reflecting on the Ethiopian Airlines plane crash.
