We arrived back on Friday afternoon from our wonderful holiday in Corfu, Greece.  There’s so much to tell that we wrote a separate page about it all!  But here’s a taste…
Corfu is a beautiful mountainous island with many things to explore; and some very cool beaches to bathe on.  The hospitality of the people were [...]

In a nutshell: it was a glorious holiday in this mountainous island with spectacular beaches, views, culture and legendary [...]

We travelled to Binibèquer (Binibeca) on this island of Menorca, a part of Spain, with Tolii in the summer of 2004.
We stayed in a villa near the town and within a short walk to a cute cove with a lovely sandy beach.

Our family holiday in September 2007 was to Cargèse, Corsica, France.
We booked the package holiday through Holiday World, aka VillaFinders, who then used Simply Travel.
We’re glad we had Holiday World in the picture when we had to make a claim to get back some [...]

What a fantastic weekend we all had. We headed down to a cottage in Dorset for a mini-holiday courtesy of granny. It was one of her Christmas presents to the boys — and oh boy! did they (and us) every enjoy it. So much so that Tolii was in tears leaving the place [...]

Late the yesterday evening, Tolii and Tosha watched out their window to see Santa come visit. He didn’t at all look like Tosha’s best friend’s daddy, Kudrat.   And neither did Andrew look like Santa when Joshua reported seeing Santa at his house!
Santa picked up the carrots that they left out for the reindeer, [...]

We’re just back from our holiday in Cargèse, Corsica! It was a wonderful place to visit - warm ocean on a almost-empty beach; great hikes in the mountains; and fun things like a tortise zoo to visit. The zig-zaggy roads were a hit with the kids and daddy, although mummy kept thinking we [...]

Four days off. With the kids. Thankfully, with two grannies too!
Friday: sunburning daddy at Finkley Down Farm Park; Tolii meanwhile shuttled between THE slide and the monkey swing. Tosha took the whole place in, but especially liked his first ride on the monkey swing. Back home we had our first BBQ of [...]

The Christmas 2006 festivities started on Christmas Eve with a BBQ.
Tolii and Tosha had a wonderful Christmas day. But mummy had a cold, grandpa had the coughs, Seva was recovering from a cold, granny Angela just started her cold and daddy was having back pains (from carrying Tolii around London museums!).
Dinner was authentic Russian [...]
