  • We all woke up at 10am today having decided to cycle to the beach yesterday. Sounds like fun right? Riding through dreamy French countryside, wind in our hair and sunshine on our faces....except it turned out to be 16km each way, had some of the biggest inclines ever and took us an hour and a half each way! Today we are officially broken. The beach was extraordinary, but I think we’ll get a taxi next time 😂😊 xx
  • Pretty trees and shadow! That’s all 😊 xxx
  • So yesterday was the Summer Solstice. The longest day of the year, and the beginning of the astronomical summer. In my 40th year I decided to finally make the pilgrimage to Stonehenge to watch the sunrise on this celebrated Pagan festival. So what was it like? Well there were all sorts of people there - and I really mean assorts - there were Spanish students, Chinese tourists, giant Viking-esque Norwegian people playing equally giant drums, people who were clearly testing out their supplies ready for Glastonbury the following weekend, Hare Krishna’s, Pagan Priests and Priestesses and Druids, there really is a crazy mix of people. What that creates however is a wonderful energy and atmosphere. There were a few worse for wear...staying up through the night until 6am can insight naughty behaviour, but that wasn’t too noticeable. Most people were in lovely (natural) high spirits, dancing to the drum beats that echoed around the circle, and enjoying the first rays of beautiful sunshine on our faces as the sun rose through the centre of these ancient stones. Would I do it again? Yes I probably would. Maybe every 5 years or so. I would definitely take my daughter when she is a little older. I would really love to be there alone if it were possible - I know you can’t get access to the Stones outside of certain festivals but I think if you could pop in the day before and watch the sunrise alone you would get a better sense of the wonderful natural energies here.

  • So within the Ocean Club Estate, as well as having access to your house pool and the facilities at the Four Season’s which is part of the same resort, the estate has its own gorgeous pool and club house to hang out at. This was a great space as there was hardly anyone there, and the pool was gorgeous and the view to die for! Plus the food and drinks were great and not too expensive so it was a good place to lunch the hungry monsters without having to remortgage your home 😂😱. That is the one down side to paradise - everything on the islands is imported, so super expensive but not any more so than you would pay in any of Europe’s more popular destinations such as Ibiza or St. Tropez. In fact We were surprised at the hotel rates of neighbouring hotels. The Bahamas is definitely more accessible than we had realised, the biggest cost of course being the flights - as with any long haul, but there are always savvy ways to get good rates on these such as travelling in May/ June which is considered to be ‘off season’ yet the weather is still beautiful.

  • So we are now back on UK soil 😫, but I have just too many pics not to share, so here is a quick snap shot of the beautiful house rented on the Ocean Club Estate. The pontoon at the back of the house was just extraordinary. Perfect for a morning workout, or yoga at sunrise. My bother in law had been enjoying diving straight into the sea in the morning, relishing in the clear blue waters, blissfully unaware that it was actually common in this channel of water to get bull sharks and that the very territorial barracuda liked to nest under the pontoon... needless to say he didn’t swim in there again after finding out! 😂😱🦈 xxx ~ @fouladidarius 😁 Edit: so I have to add a quick note here. The pontoon faces a channel of water where many of the smaller ferries and personal boats travel so people can just about make you out on the deck from their passing boats. It’s known that Beyoncé and Jay-z had a house on this estate (now sold) but clearly not everyone knows this, and a boat of 4 middle aged American woman passed in a boat when Dan was lying on a sunbed on the pontoon, and suddenly started screaming ‘oh my god, it’s Jay-z!..’ he loved it of course......and clearly I must have therefore been Beyoncé then....😂 #beautifulhouse #beautifulhome #holidayhome #oceanclubestates #bahamas #nassaubahamas #nassau #paradiseisland #holiday #holidays #familyholiday #familytravel #familytravels #familyadventures #familyadventure #sea #sharks #bullshark #bullsharks #barracuda #pontoon xx
  • I think Toodles has enjoyed herself here! She asked me if we could go and view some schools on the island 😂 She’s very assertive when it comes to such matters - I’m not sure if this has been driven by her experience in her wonderful home for the week, the amazing facilities and service at the Ocean Club Four Seasons, or the direct access to Atlantis water park - it’s hard to tell... #veryluckygirl #verykindauntyanduncle #apparentlyweremoving #packyourbags #timetorelocate #beach #beachlife #beachlife🌴 #beautifulbahamas #paradiseisland #nassaubahamas #nassau #bahamas #happylittlegirl #familytravel #familytravellers #travellingwithkids #longhaul #fourseasonsoceanclub #cabbagebeach #deltaairlines #bluesky #blueskies xx
  • Toodles getting her golf on! The house that we stayed in was on the Ocean Club Estates, Paradise Island, which hosts the gorgeous Paradise Island Golf Club. I’m not a major golf fan, but this course and clubhouse were absolutely beautiful. If UK golf courses were like this I’d defs be a convert!!

  • ‘We're busy doing nothing, Working the whole day through, Trying to find lots of things not to do. We're busy going' nowhere, Isn't it just a crime? We'd like to be unhappy, but We never do have the time...’ ❤️(W.T.Pooh) xx #winniethepooh #winniethepoohquotes #paradiseisland #familytravel #nassaubahamas #nassau #bahamas #hammock #hammocklife #bluesky #blueskies #cabbagebeach #oceanclub #familyholiday #familyholidays #easterholidays Xx
