October sun ☀️

Autumn may well be in full force in the UK, but October is also one of my favourite times to get in a little last minute sun in Europe. Shoulder season means it’s cheaper and waaaay quieter for exploring (provided you book outside of half term obvs!) This week I headed to beautiful Malta to explore a new country. The sun shone every single day despite the forecast, I well and truly explored the Maltese islands, and the food was insane. Looking forward to sharing my Malta tips with you all this week! 🇲🇹

Anyone else grabbing some autumn sun? Which places would you recommend?

Surf’s up 🏄‍♀️

Anyone else in absolute denial of the fact we are well and truly into autumn in the UK? While I love falling leaves, cosy evenings, red wine, and crackling log fires in the countryside, nothing compares to beaches and being out in the sun for me! Luckily I have another trip to a sunny destination next week, but after that I think it’s officially time to embrace the change in seasons! If you have any travel tips for Malta, let me know!

An English country garden 🪴

For a little peace and quiet, have you thought about heading to the ultra beautiful @lordsofthemanor in the Cotswolds? As a luxurious hotel with cosy rooms, it’s the perfect staycation retreat. Their restaurant, The Atrium, also serves up one of the best roast dinners in the Cotswolds, and I can vouch for that! Now, can somebody tell me how I can get my lawn to look that good? 🤔
