Nerja
So, thanks to a friend, we’ve managed to get away from walls being smashed down around us as our house/office is refurbished & have found a beautiful piece of Andalucia where we’re currently working – and using as a base to explore Southern Spain. Perfecto! We’re based in Nerja, about 50 km east of Malaga, […]
Escape to the Sun…
So, we’ve done it. A combination of itchy feet and a house still being renovated has meant we’ve packed our bags and headed to Andalucia… A flight to Malaga. A hire car. A friend’s apartment in Nerja (more of which later…). And here we are. Blissful… ¡Salud!
Cressbrook
Our house – where we work from – is currently being smashed apart as we embark on a big renovation project. Not very conducive to running a business from home 😉 We decided to pack up and get away so that we could work, but also so that we could pop back to Didsbury […]
Itchy Feet…
…not literally, but metaphorically. We love our little corner of South Manchester. West Didsbury has just about everything we could need. We work from home so that’s great. We’ve fantastic independent shops, bars and restaurants on the doorstep and we can get to coast and countryside very easily. We work with brilliantly creative people. We […]
The Iron Men
Every time we pop over to Formby, a visit to Antony Gormley’s Iron Men on Crosby Beach is a must. Every single time we visit, I see them in a different way, depending on the time of day, the light, the weather or the height of the tide. I’ve never gone and not seen them […]
Castellabate
In my book, a “cool” place to stay doesn’t need to be hip and trendy and cutting edge. It just needs to be somewhere that isn’t bog-standard. And this place we stumbled upon – quite literally – in Castellabate, Campania is very cool, if like us, you like things that are a little bit different. […]
Storage Solutions
We made a bit of an unexpected purchase when we were recently out in Morocco and to be honest, we’ve been a bit on pins since we got back. The purchase (to be revealed in another blog), was being sent to us as it wasn’t going to be easy to bring it back ourselves and […]
Death Becomes Her…
Sadly (and there’s no pun intended here!) I do love a bit of a cemetery visit. I’m not melancholic and I don’t visit them because I like to envelope myself in misery and grief. Quite the opposite actually – I don’t like visiting cemetries where people I know are buried as I much prefer to […]
Moroccan Doorways
That’s right. A blog about doorways. But not just any old doorways, you understand. These are Moroccan doorways. Some astonishingly elaborate, some mosaic framed, some brightly coloured, some literally hanging off their ancient hinges, some huge, some hobbit like. But all different and all beautiful and all just so, well, Moroccan… And every doorway, quite […]
Marrakech Menara
We’ve been so lucky recently to be able to do a lot of travelling and so have seen quite a few airports. Much are much of a muchness. There’s often very little that really sets one airport apart from another. But, the latest airport we flew into and out of, is definitely one of a […]
A Christmas Angel
Weather-wise, our Christmas journey north didn’t start off too well. Howling gales & lashing rain – awful driving weather, but probably a quite typical English Xmas drive on the M62 & A1… However, Boxing Day saw a real change in the weather and so a trip to the coast was in order, but not before […]
