During the Höstlov break we decided that we wanted to explore some more of Sweden. We were already heading down to Norrtälje, a large town north east of Stockholm, to see an old colleague in their new home and so Marholmen was the perfect extra night. An hour drive from Arlanda airport, Marholmen is a…

4 Nights in Rhodes
I have never put any stock in horoscopes but as I’ve got older I’ve started to really relate to being a water sign. Whenever I start to feel bogged down by work or I’m having a bad day, being near water calms me and as the end of the school year comes round I yearn…
The Winery Hotel – Stockholm

All Inclusive in Antigua
When Rob turned the big 40 we knew we wanted to do something to acknowledge the occasion and as he didn’t want a big party, we decided to go away somewhere special… the Caribbean. It had been a dream location for so long and when we found out you could get direct flights from London…
Ellery Beach House – Stockholm

Since leaving nearly two years ago now, I know I have left a little bit of my heart in Japan and with the COVID restrictions, we still haven’t been able to return. So what to do whilst we are waiting for Japan to open its borders to tourists? We decided to go to the next…
The Glass Resort: Finland
One thing has been on my bucket list for a long time; I have dreamed of seeing the Northern Lights for many years and when we moved to Sweden, we knew we were a little bit closer to achieving that dream. There are so many amazing places to see them in Scandinavia and just weeks…
Torekov, Sweden
Next stop… Torekov. After the marinas and rocky coastlines of the northern west coast of Sweden, we packed up and headed south to another part of the Swedish west coast. This time we wanted a bit more luxury and beaches which we certainly got two hours south in a small town called Torekov. The Torekov…
