A visit onboard P&O Cruises Britannia

For the last few years I have promised my old friend and work colleague that we would visit him onboard his ship during a turnaround day in Southampton. Finally a few weeks ago we did it! In this article I share our photos of a tour around P&O Cruises Britannia.

Getting back into the school routine after a fun summer!

Does anyone else feel like they deserve a medal for surviving the first week of school?! At the beginning of the week we were really organised. Bags packed the night before, and all up early with plenty of time to stroll/scooter to school. By Wednesday…

Barmouth Bay Holiday Park is owned and operated by Away Resorts. The company, which prides itself on offering great British holidays, owns five holiday parks all located in stunning locations – Whitecliff Bay in the Isle of Wight, Tattershall Lakes in Lincolnshire, Mill Rythe in Hampshire, Mersea Island in Essex and Barmouth Bay in Snowdonia, West Wales.
