I've always fancied embarking on a canal holiday - pootling along with a glass of wine in hand, watching the world drift slowly by. I've also always been fascinated by houseboats, and on trips to Amsterdam and Copenhagen I've found myself peering through portholes for a glimpse of life on the water. So, when Chris and I were offered a night's stay at The Palmer, a houseboat rental on Regent's . . .
A summer evening by the sea
I blogged last week about my determination to savour the last few weeks of summer, and it's something I've been putting into action this week.

In fact, ‘home’ is the perfect word to describe this place: it’s relaxed, stylish and oh-so comfortable. It occupies the first two floors of a . . .
Top tips for West Wales
Our recent stay at Bryncyn gave Chris and I the chance to explore an entirely new area of Wales: Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.
