I have been working in travel since 1991 when I realised there was more to life than the Banking Industry. I started as an Overseas Representative with Thomson Holidays moving to the beautiful Island of Rhodes, where I spent 3 very happy summer season. This was interspersed with winters in Spain -…
A lovely. smart , shiny brochure popped through my door at the weekend. Everyone has a Bucket List, even if its not a holiday or cruise, but our new Bucket List Collection will inspire many to take the holiday of their dreams. The collection covers just about every corner of…
The last time I went to Majorca for a holiday was years ago, that is until I sailed there on Azamara Quest in May last year. Sailing in to the port on a glorious, sunny day made me realise what a lovely destination this Spanish island is, and what a…
Well Christmas has come and gone in a flash and tomorrow is the start of a New Year. We all had a great time in Norfolk with lots of long walks on the beach, shopping on beautiful Burnham Market and evenings in front of a roaring log fire. Oh and…
Christmas is just under a week away now and I am spending the holiday in one of my favourite places , Thornham in Norfolk. Myself and a group of friends, plus Rowan my dog of course, will be heading off at the weekend for a lovely, long, relaxing break. Last…

Everyone likes a bargain. Maybe the pair of shoes you have been looking at for ages that suddenly drops in price, or maybe a holiday or cruise. I spend most of my working week looking at different offers on different cruise lines and I have to say that there are…
My cruise on Celebrity Silhouette but equally great was the destination - Norway. I don`t know why but Northern Europe always seems to look like the little sister of the Mediterranean but I know know this is far from the truth. The scenery is spectacular and the people lovely, with…
If you`ve read my first blog about my recent cruise on Celebrity Silhouette you will know that I was so impressed with her. The staff were lovely, the ship was spotlessly clean and the organisation was incredible, far more efficient than I would have ever expected on a ship carrying…
