I love this man, I love autumn and I love hotels so 11 Years ago we got married in a boutique hotel of course!
Mademoiselle handed us our rings, our families managed to understand each other despite half of them not speaking the other’s language and we had an extra hour to sleep as it was the clock change weekend !
Would do it all over again!

Tudo ben!j

Summer holiday started after many intense weeks of work.

Will catch you up on Greece and Portugal and France in September.
For now I am just enjoying the sun, the sea and the heat.

Paxos you’ve been stunning! We couldn’t believe our luck to have a full Greek summer holiday in mid June.
From jaw-dropping coast beauty to amazing blues, and with green olive trees and delicious food, it was the perfect setting for a well deserved first holiday in nearly a year.

I will share tips and itinerary in my newsletter in the coming weeks.
