Driving from Cardiff to AberdeenCardiff and WalesTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - October 7, 2013September 4, 2017 Why oh why did daughter number one have to go and move all the way up to Scotland?!It's miles away!Lovely as it is up there (and it really is very lovely), it's one heck of a trek from Cardiff to Aberdeen. Flights to Edinburgh from Cardiff are easy enough to come by although not cheap but by the time you've added your car-hire and petrol
The Brighton Premier Inn (again!)Travel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - September 11, 2013January 22, 2016 A couple of weeks ago I was meant to go to Brighton for a couple of days. The intention was to just chill, eat lots of good food and catch-up with my brother and his gorgeous kids. Well 'the best-laid plans of mice and men' and all that.......As most of my Twitter and Blog followers know I went into hospital for 10 days for pretty
Hilton London Kensington – A Great WeekendTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mr C - September 7, 2013September 7, 2013It’s always hard to know where to stay when planning a weekend city break, especially when it’s going to be somewhere as huge, and with such choice as London. We’re no strangers to London really, having stayed in lots of different places over the years, from the extremely luxurious to the ‘on-a-budget’ choices. On this occasion though we were going to return to somewhere we’d been
Our Holiday in Tunisia – El Mouradi Palm Marina Port El KantaouiTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - July 31, 2013February 18, 2016 A couple of weeks ago we went to Tunisia on holidays. It was the first time we'd been and I'd go again in a flash.It was a kind of spontaneous booking in that I had an email from Secret Escapes at around 3 in the afternoon and after a brief look at Trip Advisor and all the usual reviews, we went ahead and booked the
A Fab Imagine Spa WeekendBeautyTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - June 30, 2013August 9, 2013A couple of weekends ago Mr. C and I went along to the Imagine Spa Thames Valley for a real chill-out weekend. It's based in the newish Hilton Heathrow Terminal 5 which doesn't make it sound like the most desirable of locations - however you couldn't be more wrong if that is what you thought. The hotel is a few miles from the airport and
A Luxury Weekend Break at The Langham HotelTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - June 4, 2013November 8, 2017 We went to London a couple of weekends back for a night at The Langham Hotel. One night wasn’t really enough but sadly it was all we could afford: as we were in London for Saturday and Sunday and it was a 5 Star Hotel, I think that still comes into the category of luxury weekend breaks though even if we only officially slept there
The Cavendish Hotel Champagne Afternoon TeaTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - February 19, 2013January 26, 2016 Just before Christmas I received an email out of the blue saying I'd won an Overnight Stay at The Cavendish Hotel in London along with tickets to go to see The Bodyguard.You have no idea how excited I was! I never win competitions! But there was a bit of a problem in that the prize was supposed to have been taken literally the next Weekend.
An Overnighter At The Premier Inn TonbridgeTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - February 19, 2013January 22, 2016 A couple of weekends ago we had to go to Tonbridge overnight. It was very much a fleeting visit but because we needed to be there for very early in the morning and we live in Cardiff, it made sense to book a hotel for the night before.We genuinely didn't bother faffing around searching for 'best/cheapest hotels' on the various comparison sites. We just typed
Afternoon Tea at The Park Plaza CardiffCardiff and WalesFood and DrinkTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - January 26, 2013September 4, 2017I've just come back in the house after a simply scrummy Afternoon Tea at The Park Plaza Cardiff! Such a civilised affair, oh so delicious and as Miranda's friend would say 'Such Fun!'. Mr. C was a bit outnumbered as the Laguna Kitchen & Bar seemed to be 'The Place' to go for girly gatherings and there were numerous tables where the glittery pink cupcakes
