Travel – Cala’n Bosch Menorca
Cala’n Bosch (also known as Cala’n Bosch or Cala en Bosc) is a lovely, family friendly beach, marina, hotel, and apartment resort situated on the southwest coast of Minorca. We have been holidaying in this resort for the past few years and find it to be a place that addresses all of our needs – beautiful beaches, a good range of restaurants and a few shops for when the sun goes down. The Marina The Marina is the hub of activity in Cala’n Bosch, most of the restaurants and shops are situated around it, and it is a lovely place to take a leisurely walk around after dinner.

A trip to Mahon
I have been to Menorca on many occasions, it is our holiday destination of choice since we started taking Joe abroad. However, I had never actually been to Mahon – we had merely used the airport, then jumped on a coach to our holiday destination. We decided that this year we would take a proper trip to Menorca’s Capital city and have a little explore. I have to say I totally fell in love with Mahon. It combines stunning coastline (it is Europe’s 2nd largest natural harbour) with interesting architecture that shows a range of influences on the city historically. Much like Ciutadella, the former capital of Menorca that I…

F&F Scarf Print sundress reviewed
I’m back in the UK after enjoying a pretty amazing couple of weeks in Menorca. So now it’s time to get back into the swing of blogging, and I’m starting with a review of a pretty scarf print sundress that I was sent by F&F Clothing.

The dress is now very low stock, and has been reduced to just £7, so you may just be able to grab a bargain if you can find this in…

Jetting off may be the only escape this spring
As the jet stream appears set to pass the UK by yet again, record numbers are being seen at airports throughout the country. Even in the challenging economic climate, the actual UK climate is proving too much for many of us, who are turning dreams of beaches, sun and relaxation into reality. There are still good deals to be had, and there are manycheapflights to ever-popular destinations such as the Balearic islands of Menorca, Ibiza and Majorca. The pull of these destinations lies in their island status (more coastline for your money than the mainland) and their stunning scenery. For three little islands in the Mediterranean, they provide pretty…

Loving the Pretty Ballerinas at Spartoo
Everyone knows that a pair of Ballerina flats are a wardrobe essential. Even people like me, who would love to spend their whole life wearing heels, always keep some pretty ballet flats in my bag, for when the feet have taken too much of a pounding, and need a little TLC. The great thing is that, in recent years, the ballerina flat shoe has become an iconic item, worn with style and panache by the likes of Kate Middleton, Kate Moss and Alexa Chung. And for many people, the iconic name in Ballerina flats is the brand Pretty Ballerinas. I love the heritage of Pretty ballerinas. I visited Menorca, where…
