The Georgian House
Recently, we travelled south to Essex to visit a We Are Life client and decided to make a bit of trip of it. Not having ever been to Essex before, assuming it was all brash a-la “The Only Way is Essex”, we weren’t really sure what to expect and I certainly didn’t have high hopes […]
Roma! Part One…
We were lucky to have two days in Rome before flying to Corfu. It has to be one of our favourite cities in Italy – how could it not be? For this part of our journey, we chose to travel by train from Pisa. Now, in England if you were to book a first class […]
Anti-Paxos
Anti-Paxos is a tiny island, about 2 miles to the south of Paxos, in the Ionian Sea. It is reached by a speedboat service from Gaios on Paxos – but don’t miss the last one back at 5.30pm as you’ll be stranded. The two or three beach tavernas close when the last boat has left […]

Sometimes, when you don’t have long to spend somewhere, the familiar is a great option – and we […]
We Are Life Travel

Ortigia Market
The early morning market in Ortigia, Siracusa (Siciliy), is a sight to behold. Whilst we do have some excellent fresh produce markets here in the UK – although a shame we don’t currently have one in Didsbury (UPDATE May 16 – we do now courtesy of the monthly Makers’ Market!) – this Sicilian one blew […]
