Santa Cruz de Tenerife: a guide

A view of the lake near the port in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

    I feel the need for sunshine people. Therefore, today's post is our guide to Santa Cruz de Tenerife.  Santa Cruz de Tenerife was our second port on our recent Christmas Canary Island ... Read More

  • This might not be a very insta-worthy photo but it sums up how I am feeling about 2019! I'm ready for it! I normally find this time of year hard but I'm fully embracing it. Over on the blog (link in profile) I'm looking back on 2018 and i'm sharing my hopes for 2019. What are your goals for 2019? #newyear #goals #positive_vibes #postiveenergy #lookingforward #mumswhorun
  • Hello! I've not posted on here for AGES and I'm cheating with this photo as it's from Boxing Day. January on Jersey has been very grey so far. Apparently we have had the dullest start to the year since records began in 1925. We have seen just 6 minutes of sun in the first 7 days of this year 😱😱. Despite the bleak weather I'm feeling rather positive. Work is going well and I finally feel like I'm top of it all; I'm doing Veganuary and loving it, and I've joined a lovely running group and I'm doing couch to 5km. 🏃‍♀️ I'm even going to bed at 9pm and rising at 5am as inspired by @lecoindemel and @the_organised_mum All very lovely (even the 5am wake up). Anyway, enough ahout me! How have you been and what did I miss? #coastalliving #sea_sky_nature #seascapephotography #sealandscape #seascape #seaandsky #seascapephotography #beachlife #wintersun #winterishere #jerseyci #theislandbreak #visitbritain #ukexplore #visitjersey #savouringtheseason #sausagedog #reflection #waterreflection
  • I was going to say that we are galloping into a new week but that is not the case. It's more like a slow crawl or perhaps a steady canter (if I were trying to be optimistic). Are you feeling the festive fatigue? The children finish school on Wednesday and I'm frantically trying to meet my deadlines so that I can finish on Wednesday too. Then I need to finish my Christmas baking, get all the food shopping done, and clean the house before our guests arrive and then let's not mention the wrapping. Sssh, i'm hoping an elf will do it for me. We have also booked to see the new Mary Poppins on Friday as that's when Mr C finishes. I can't wait. In other news - you can read the final instalment of our Amsterdam adventure (link in profile). We spent the morning at the A'DAM Tower ( that's where this photo was taken), did we go swinging on Europe's highest swing?

  • Nope, this isn't the face I pull when I realise that I'm still not ready for Christmas! We have less than two weeks to go! 😱😱😱 No, this is the face I pull when I see another headline about the apparent feud between Meghan and Kate - YAWN. It's boring and I'm fed up if it. I'm talking about this in my latest blog post (link in profile). It's time the media changed their narrative. Stop pitting women against each other! Right - back to Crimbo induced panic. #instaselfie #selfie_time #selfietime #selfiemood #selfieselfie #icantdoselfies #unapologeticselfie #equality #feminist #ihavenocluewhathashtagstoputhere #christmasprep #royalfamily #duchessofsussex #duchessofcambridge
  • Winter has well and truly arrived on Jersey. It feels like it has been raining nonstop for days. The wind has had me worrying about our roof and it looks like the boat hasn't been able to get in because the shelves are bare at the supermarket 😬😬. We went yesterday and there was nothing. Mr C went today and came back with wine as that's all they had (well, that's what he said) 🤣. At least we have plenty of wine in for our guests this Christmas. I'm taking this weather as my cue to hibernate. Netflix, hot chocolate and candles here I come. Over on the blog I'm sharing how I'm tackling winter on the island. Link in profile. In other news - who will be watching the final of I'm A Celeb tonight? Hazza for the win! #coastalliving #sea_sky_nature #seascapephotography #sealandscape #seascape #seaandsky #seascapephotography #beachlife #wintersun #winterishere #visitjersey #theislandbreak #jerseyci #beachlife🌊
  • These two...don't let those cheeky smiles fool you. This week is proving rather tricky. They are whingy and arguing with each other all of the time! Urgh. I think we are all feeling a little tired and we are ready for the Christmas break now. Roll on the weekend. Hopefully we will get to sleep in and these two will stop monkeying (see what I did there 😬) around. . . . . . #mocomuseum #banksyamsterdam #banksyart #parenthoodmoments #capturingchildhood #capturingmoments #snaphappybritmums #pinklinker #coolmumclub #childofig #childhoodunplugged
  • Yes, the Christmas tree has gone up already 🙈 I might not normally be known for my glitter and sparkles but that all changes come December. The house resembles the Blackpool Illuminations, I've covered every possible surface in tinsel, I am already stockpiling the Quality Street and Roses, I've been warbling along to Mariah Carey and I managed to watch 4 Christmas films this weekend. FYI you have to watch Christmas Chronicles on Netflix! It's brilliant! Yes, I am now in full on festive mode! Are you ho, ho, ho Or no, no, noooo (too early)? #countryliving #countrylifestyle #countrylife #lifeinthecountry #countrysideliving #countrychic #rusticcharm #thecottagejournal #countrycottage #cosycottage #cottagelife #ourhome #cottageliving #cottagehome #myhousebeautiful
