A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to have a 12 month sabbatical from work and do a bit of travelling with my hubby… over the first 4 months we were lucky to visit India, Singapore and Vietnam; chasing COVID around the countries we visited and having to wear face masks long before it even occurred to Boris & his gang that it might be a good idea…

I started my first ever blog then as a way to keep in touch with my family, especially my elderly parents and my Dad who was caring for my Mum who has dementia… Five years on and whilst Dad is no longer with us (😢) and Mum is now in a nearby residential home, as planned, I am about to “semi”-retire, kick back and take things easy for as long as my minimal savings will allow! Yay!!

As the days towards the first trip, of what I hope will be a long retirement, grow closer, a number of people have asked if I intend to do another blog, so… back by slightly enthusiastic demand, here we go!

What’s the plan?

This blog will be my basic ramblings about what we see, hear or do during our travels and the time we spend with family & friends at home too… it will rely heavily on photos rather than words and act as a lovely record of our adventures… We hope you will want to be part of it by following us, perhaps adding a like or two, or maybe adding the odd, non-offensive comment!

The world maybe our oyster but we decided to focus on Spain first!
