P&O Ventura Christmas Cruise Review

The adult pool on Ventura with the sea behind

Excuse the title, that is a bit of a mouthful and hardly flows off the tongue, does it? More like a tongue twister. I wanted to share my thoughts on how we felt about our Christmas aboard the P&O ... Read More

  • This is the living room in our house. ❤ Eventually we would like to replace the curtains and put up new wall lights. But there's no rush. I think we are probably going to leave everything else just as it is. I love the exposed granite walls. At one time the house was a barn for the farm next door. When I was a child my dad used to often shout "Why do you keep leaving doors open? Do you think you live in a barn?" Now I can reply, "yes, actually I do" Over on the blog (link in profile) I'm explaining why I didn't really tell anyone we were moving until the day we moved. . . . .#interiorlovers #finditstyleit #homestyle #interiorboom #interior123 #interiordesire #interiorforinspo #interiordetails #homereno #homedetails #homeinthecountry #countrycottage #convertedbarn
  • It has been a funny old day on Jersey. The sea mist rolled in this morning but that didn't deter these hardy surfers. Then a hour later it was a clear blue sky. Now the weather has turned again; there is a definite chill in the air and that mist is starting to make its return visit. I quite like the fog, it envelopes the island and everywhere is very still, muffled and eerily beautiful ❤ . . . . .#theislandbreak #visitjersey🇯🇪 #vsitjersey #stouensbay #getoutside #keepitwild #goexplore #lovelifeoutside #exploreruk #staywild #liveauthentic #vitaminsea #outdoorslife #outdoorslifestyle #seascape #freshairandfreedom #naturegram #snaphappybritmums
  • "As you walk deeper and deeper into the tunnels, the air around you becomes quieter and you almost become accustomed to the chill that has now settled in your bones" Over on the blog (link in profile) I'm sharing why we should all visit the @jerseywartunnels . . . . . #theislandbreak #vsitjersey #jerseywartunnels #familydaysout #touristday #liberation_day
  • Our first weekend in our new house has been a lovely one ❤. We had our first guests come to stay, Mr C celebrated his birthday and then had Father's Day. Lucky man! Today we went exploring the local lanes and neighbourhood. I think we are all going to be very happy here. 😊😍❤ . . . . . .#theislandbreak #jerseyci #visitjersey🇯🇪 #visitjersey #ukexplore #countrylife #beachlife #vitaminsea
  • Over on the blog (link in profile) I am talking about finding the joy and the things I have been doing when the anxiety starts to take hold. Like going for a walk and enjoying this beaut of a sunset. The past year and a half has been slightly challenging and I still can't believe that we finally have a house. 🏠 I've been pinching myself all week. ❤ . . . .#theislandbreak #jerseyci #sunsetjersey #beach🌊 #visitjersey #positive_vibes #ukexplore #samsungs9plus #nofilterneeded
  • 3 weeks ago I was feeling frustrated because it was looking like the bank wouldn't accept my wage on our mortgage application. I vented my frustrations in a blog post (link in profile) and that post went live last Thursday. By Friday evening that post was out of date because we had a house! After a tense three days the bank approved my wage and now we are the proud owners of this lovely house. We are all feeling incredibly lucky ❤ . . . . .#homestyle #documentyourdays #designisinthedetail #pursuepretty #cottagestyle #cottageliving #countrylife #darlingmovement #jerseyci #theislandlife
  • "I went to bed as soon as the children went to bed so I could relish reading it in peace...I couldn't rest until I finished reading the novel, until I had learnt the fate of all the characters. Now that I have finished I want to start it all over again" My books are like my children, I don't have favourites...until now that is!! Little Fires Everywhere is now one of my favourite books and probably my favourite book for 2018! You will want to read this novel, this is a novel that stirred every emotion in my body. Head over to the link in my profile to read my review of this beautiful novel ❤ (gifted) . . . . . . . #mnbookclub #mumsnet #booklove #booknerd #booksofinstagram #bookish #instareads #fiction #literary #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #literaturelover #bookblogger #bookaddict #bookaholic #booktastic #bookflaylay #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks
  • In the words of Heather Small (yes, I am now quoting pop singers) "what have you done today to make you feel proud?" FYI I can do a rather good impression of Heather Small singing that song! Yep, I might be no pop star but there is a good reason for sharing my ombre hair. No those roots aren't deliberate, I just desperately need a haircut and my hair dyed. Anyway, I digress, over on the blog (link in profile) I'm sharing why I'm trying to feel proud of what I have achieved. #jerseyci #selfcare #selflove #positive_vibes #postiveenergy #positivequotes #talentedtalkers
