We recently decided to take a road trip around England and photograph each stop along the way. We started in Cambridge, where we took a stroll around the gorgeous town before continuing on to the south coast and the White Cliffs of Dover. The gorgeous cliffs were beyond worth the two-hour hike to the edge, as were the nearby Seven Sisters cliffs. Read More ›

Honeymoon in the Cotswolds
After my husband and I were married in Wales in May, we left on a European travel adventure throughout England, Ireland, Italy and Paris. It was a dream of a honeymoon and a trip we will treasure forever. The first stop on our adventure was the English Cotswolds, one of my favorite places on Earth. I’m a not-so-secret Anglophile, so I could have stayed here forever, happily drinking buckets of tea and eating scones. When we arrived in the Cotswolds, it felt as if we had stepped into a real-life Beatrix Potter world! Thatched roofs, English gardens, brambly hedges and sweet people had turned real life into a fairy tale. Read More ›
A Holiday Visit to London
My husband has always wanted to visit London and being completely honest, I was more than happy to oblige! London is a huge city that is so absolutely gorgeous and full of life. We visited over Christmas and it was such a lovely way to spend the holiday. Read More ›
London’s Borough Market
My favorite city in the world, London is a traveler’s dream. And nowhere is the city’s personality more evident than in its various markets. Bustling, vibrant, and full of treasures, each of London’s markets specialize in different types of goods. I have a few favorites, but none more so than Borough Market. One of the best spots to spend a Saturday morning, Borough Market is one of the oldest foot markets in London, with over 100 tempting offerings. It features many of London’s well-known traders, such as Pieminster, La tua pasta, and Boston Sausage. Just thinking about the fresh prosciutto, hot mulled wine, and chocolates from Rabot Estate has my mouth watering! Read More ›
Slowing Down in Norfolk
When we had our son Zeus, I started to worry about living in London. I grew up in the countryside and was keen for Zeus to enjoy nature as I did rather than experience some of the things that city can life can force on you. We moved to Norfolk on the East coast of England in June. Our new town is about two hours out of central London but a million miles away in terms of the pace of life and the landscape. The Norfolk countryside is flat so the fields go on and on and the sunsets last until late evening. There are also large rivers that run right through our little village of Magdalen that the local teenagers jump in to on hot days. Read More ›
