Learning French – ‘ere we go… (also – Rosetta Stone discount code!)

This year on our trip to the Dordogne I’ll admit I was pretty happy with myself. When we first went to France as a family, I was the only one who had a smattering of French – and that was seriously rusty from the long hiatus since my GCSE days. Over the years and holidays it’s slowly improved, and the whole family has been getting better as we try at every opportunity to get by with French rather than expecting the...

But stay with me here, it’ll be worth it. Bike shops are not, on a day to day basis, my usual noodle-spot. It’s not that I don’t love a cycle – oh no, I’ll whizz along the back lanes with the family on...

Ssshhh… what we didn’t tell our guests (Wine? Try Aldi or Majestic, apparently)

(It’s a long one, but stay with me here, it’ll help you and your wine drinking in the end. I promise!) Are you a wine drinker? Yes, me too! #coincidence Consider yourself a wine buff? No, me either. We’ve just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary (I know, I know, I really AM too young. Thank you…;)) and to celebrate we planned a really special party – squooshing a marquee into the garden, hiring...
