Gorgeous Guernsey Part 4 – Castles and Chapels
Don’t worry, I am coming in to land on “What I Did on My Holidays”, just as we came into land at Heathrow a mere 35 minutes after taking off. With spectacular views over Central London, which was a real … Continue reading
Gorgeous Guernsey Part 3 – Cobo and Hugo
You might have noticed a pattern in these holiday posts – an exerting day requires a bit of a rest day afterwards. So after our trip to Herm, we spent the rest of the day afterwards lazing around our apartment … Continue reading
Gorgeous Guernsey Part 2 – Herm and Latte
If you read the Part 1 of this series, you’ll know that we spent our holiday in Guernsey, making some serious lemonade from Sicilian lemons. One of the turning points in this whole crisis was realising that Guernsey had been … Continue reading
Gorgeous Guernsey Part 1 – Pivots, Transbees, Beaches and Frogs
Now, this is some classic LWAT chaos here. It might be a long read but if you’re interested to know how our holiday pivoted from “Operation Mincemeat” to “Les Miserables”, buckle in. I realise it makes it sound like we … Continue reading
“Bonsai Treehouses” at Museum of Architecture – 13/08/26
Forgive me that this has taken a while to write up and that the exhibition will probably be closed by the time you read it. It was a spontaneous-ish visit just before we went on holiday and my plan to … Continue reading

Terrific Tenerife#2 – We’ll All Go to Raging Waters
Now, I didn’t mean to make this holiday into two posts as it was really quite a straightforward week of lounging about. But turns out I can write a lot of words about that BAU lounging without getting on to … Continue reading
Terrific Tenerife#1 – The Tide is High
So, I’ve been on a Jet2 holiday. My children inform me that this is some kind of meme nowadays and I’d like to be able to say that we went the full week without ever hearing that jingle…but that would … Continue reading
