If you’d told me five years ago I would be spending my days guiding people around some of Rome’s coolest sights I would never have believed you! But here I am, doing just that and I absolutely love it! It’s been a while since my last post, for which I apologise, but having lived inContinue reading “5 Must Visit Places for an Ancient Rome Experience”

First Rome Visitor
The initial few weeks here in Rome have been quite full on! For Allan it’s been a Prime Ministerial visit, a Royal Visit and a G7 Defence Summit. For me I’ve hosted an even more important visitor (my Mum) and I’ve been getting stuck in to two tour guiding jobs, one by bike around theContinue reading “First Rome Visitor”
From the sublime….
to the ridiculous…as the saying goes. There’s no more fitting phrase that sums up the last week for me. I don’t talk much on here about what my husband, Allan, does for work because until now it hasn’t really been integral to our adventures. But this week has been a bit different……. We live inContinue reading “From the sublime….”
Il mio primo giro in bici a Roma.
It’s become an unintentional tradition now for me to write about the first bike ride from wherever our new home is, so I feel I should continue on the same theme here in Rome. After living in Paris, where it was really difficult to escape the urban sprawl, unless you had at least a coupleContinue reading “Il mio primo giro in bici a Roma.”
The Road to Rome
They say all roads lead there…which is handy seeing as we definitely didn’t take the most direct route to get to the Italian capital this summer. We’ve recently spent two weeks driving from the UK to Rome to begin our next adventure. The car was full to bursting with everything we might need for theContinue reading “The Road to Rome”
Another Turn of The Wheel
Hey everyone! After a very long period of silence I decided it was time to pick up the proverbial pen again and get this blog back on track. The main thing that led to this decision is that in six weeks time we’re packing up the house….again….and moving to Italy….again! This time we’ll be inContinue reading “Another Turn of The Wheel”
Mallorca – Part 3
“Just keep pedalling!” For the third day of our trip we tried to have an ‘easy’ day, to allow our legs to recover from the efforts of Sa Calobra the day before (you can read about that here) and to be fresher for what lay ahead the following day. So we thought a nice littleContinue reading “Mallorca – Part 3”
Mallorca – Part 2
“It’s only a hill….get over it!” Day 2 of training camp was all about effort and reward! Our goal was to conquer two of Mallorca’s epic climbs; Puig Major and Sa Calobra. If you dabble in the cycling world I’m pretty sure you will have heard of the latter one at least. Puig Major wasContinue reading “Mallorca – Part 2”
Mallorca – Part 1
“It’s not about the journey, it’s about the people you meet along the way.” I know what’s going to happen here…I’m going to run out of superlatives….you’ll all get bored about me banging on about amazing tarmac and stunning scenery, so if you decide not to read these posts then I will fully understand. IContinue reading “Mallorca – Part 1”
Life Back in the UK
Blue skies, sunshine, clear seas, really good cheap wine and our friends…….are all things I’m missing being back in the UK. However, having family just a couple of hours away is absolutely wonderful, being able to go for a walk through greens fields and forests is just magical and not having to mentally prepare everyContinue reading “Life Back in the UK”
