#FanDayFriday – Lovely Lichfield
This week, my #FandayFriday topic is a place that I love to visit for it’s mixture of historical buildings, great restaurants and vintage and antique shops. I’m talking about Lichfield, the birthplace of Erasmus Darwin and Dr Johnson and the home of the beautiful three spires Catherdral.

Carvoeiro Portugal’s hidden gem
Carvoeiro, or Praia de Carvoeiro, as it is sometimes known, is a resort in the Western Algarve area of Portugal.

This is on the outskirts of the village, and overlooks the incredible Vale Covo, an unmanned beach which can be reached by a series of paths and steps (and is well…

A day in Ferragudo
Ferragudo is a small village in the Lagao district of The Algarve in Portugal. Still a fairly traditional village, it is tipped to become a new tourist destination, but for now, it is beautiful, peaceful and perfect for a taste of the real Portugal. Two weeks ago we paid a visit as part of our Portuguese holiday, and fell in love with it’s rustic charm, tiled buildings and relaxed atmosphere. Praia De Mohle We travelled from Carvoeiro, where we were staying, and, on route visited the stunning beach of Praia de Mohle. From here you can see right across the bay to Ferragudo, and the larger, lively resort of Praia…

Make sure you have breakdown cover this Summer
Summer is here and in the next few weeks people will be taking their annual holidays and schools will be breaking up. For some, Summer holidays mean traveling abroad, but for others, the delights of the UK are highly desirable and holiday camps, glamping sites and hotels up and down the country will fill with happy holidaymakers. For those holidaying in the UK, this often means driving on the UK’s busy motorways, and, as with any long car journey, this carries the risk that you will breakdown, due to anything from a blowout, running low on fuel, or the failure of an integral car part. Obviously, if you were to have…
