+-*Renting a villa in Orlando can be a great option for families, but so many of the options around the city are identikit and, dare we say it, a little boring on the decor front. So I was pleased to see these villas in Reunion, a gated residential neighbourhood with all sorts of stuff on […]
+-*We wanted a staycation this August Bank Holiday weekend – and where better than one of our favourite bits of British coastline? We love, love, love Bigbury-on-Sea in south Devon. The sandy beach is vast, so we knew that even on the busiest weekend of the year, we would always find a spot to ourselves. […]
+-*If you’ve got younger kids and are looking for a holiday now that the schools have gone back, this last minute offer, with reductions up to 37%, might tempt! L’Ancre Bleue is a funky villa with pool, sleeping up to nine people. It has spectacular panoramic views across the bay of St Florent and towards […]
+-*I love a good glass of wine (no comments from those who know me, puh-lease), but I’m no expert. So I always jump at the chance to learn more about the gorgeous grape. An opportunity arose recently when I was invited to spend a night at the five star Vineyard Hotel in Berkshire, just down […]
+-*A day out in London can be made even more special by taking the family out for a child-friendly themed afternoon tea. These are some of the most inventive on offer at the moment. Parents might like to assist… The Mad Hatter’s Afternoon Tea at The Sanderson Expect the unexpected at this deliciously barmy tea […]
+-*I discovered I had a skin cancer recently. Fortunately it was a slow growing carcinoma. The rather innocent looking bump on my ear had been there for a while and I kept ignoring it until Mr Gallivant urged me to get it checked out. Now it has been removed and all is good, I hope. […]

+-*Seeing trailers for this new film – due to hit cinema screens September 9th– has got me lusting after a visit to Washington State, in the USA’s Pacific Northwest, where it was filmed (if not Viggo Mortensen – how can he ever beat his Lord of the Rings ‘Aragorn’ look?!). I had the pleasure of […]
+-*Some friends had warned me that we needed to book a table at Resturant Miceli in Mallorca before we even flew to the island. I would never usually do this kind of thing – I’m nowhere near organized enough – but this time I did…and I was pleased I had. Our last evening on holiday […]
+-*Fans of the sleepy little island of Anguilla love its dreamy beaches, smart little hotels and thriving foodie scene. But what they love even more is what the island doesn’t have… visiting cruise ships, high rises, casinos… Anguilla is a little taste of laid back luxury, Caribbean style. The island’s Zemi Beach House Resort & […]
+-*I already knew there was an untouristy Mallorca (as opposed to Majorca!) – a ravishingly beautiful island away from the loud, laddish resorts. On our half term trip there just recently, however, us Gallivants were all craving peace, quiet, a lovely house and a perfect pool. We found it, at Ca’n Pulit in Selva. I […]
