Round the island tour on the Isle of Wight – cycling with the family
Here’s a project that was close to my heart: cycling around the Isle of Wight with the family! You know how much we love bike adventures with the kids! Cycling around the Isle of Wight is a classic down here in the south of England. The route is about 100km – a satisfying distance. I split the trip into 3 cycling days. We rode clockwise starting from Cowes. Is it a family-friendly route? That depends on your cycle touring experience. I’ll admit, at first I was worried it might be too tough for our Titpuce (12 years old), who’d never done more than 20km in a day before.… —— Lire la suite ——

Our favourite spots in the New Forest
When we moved from France to Hampshire, I spent time looking at what were the highlights in the county and of course I read about the famous New Forest. It’s the first place we visited and I must say we just fell in love with that gorgeous forest and all the wild horses!
Since 18 months that we have been living in the area we went many times to the New Forest as our kids love it too! Today, I’d like to share with you our favourite spots to enjoy the New Forest with your family!
But first a bit of history: the New Forest was a royal forest at the time of William the Conqueror ; Later the Royal Navy used the timber for the boats.… —— Lire la suite ——

Our one-week Cornwall road-trip
In July we took the several hours of road towards the West: Cornwall. It is actually the most South-Western point of England. A bit equivalent to Britanny in my native France 😉 There really are a lot of points in common. Both are magnificently wild, both have coves with turquoise and emerald water, both give an impression of ‘the remote end of the world’, both with proud inhabitants, beautiful stone cottages, good seafood… But Cornwall is still different from Brittany: flora, landscape, vibe, architecture and the language – obviously! Let me take you on a one-week road-trip through Cornwall.… —— Lire la suite ——

A long week-end in Dorset
On Easter week-end, we went for a family getaway to Dorset, with the grandparents. Dorset is in the South of England, along the Channel, between Hampshire where we live, and Devon that we discovered in February. For this 3-day week-end, we settled in the seaside resort of Weymouth. We had such a perfect weather, that I was sorry I didn’t take my bathing suit. Besides, the beaches were crowded! The South of England really brings an air of holidays!
Our visits in Dorset
- Durdle Door: probably the most famous place in Dorset! You have to admit it’s pretty heavenly!

Week-end in Devon
For a week-end, we went in the South of Devon, between Dorset and Cornwall, by Torquay, to discover the English Riviera. How did we have the idea to spend a couple of days in family in Devon? Well, I owe this good idea of a gateway in this beautiful part of England to Agatha Christie! Do you remember? A couple of weeks ago, I went to see And then there were none to the theater of Southampton. And while I was comfortably seated in my chair, I remembered that Agatha Christie’s house was located in Devon. I had stored this information in a little box in my brain because I like to visit the houses of famous people whose lives I’m interested in.… —— Lire la suite ——
