Hello all. I really hope that everyone is safe and well during this unpredictable time. Myself and my family have hunkered down and our days are a mix of (attempted) homeschooling, work and play (yelling and frustration too!). I imagine that many of us had lots of plans over the…

This summer I decided to organise a bit of island hopping and tick off a few more ‘Must See’ places on my growing bucket list. It all started in my Greek (Cypriot) man’s homeland of Cyprus but I managed to steer him away from the delights of Nissi Beach and head…
