Driving alongside the winding river of the Dordogne is incredible but suddenly seeing this imposing castle towering over the valley has such an impact that it quite simply took my breath away. 

Chateau de Castelnaud and Sarlat

If you are in the Dordogne area with kids (including big kids like me), one place you must visit is Chateau de Castelnaud. 

Blackberry, Plum and Mascarpone Dessert

This gluten free recipe is sooooo tasty. I can't tell you how mouthwatering this dessert is and I guarantee it will have you scraping the bowl and asking for more.

North Cornwall Part 1

"Where shall we go"? - was the big question? "Devon" someone piped up, "Northumberland", another suggested..., "Cornwall?", "Yorkshire?".... Britain is so lovely at this time of year we are spoilt for choice but as some family were already going to North Cornwall and were urging us to join them, North Cornwall it was. 

And what a good decision it turned out to be!
