Wimbledon is my all-time, absolute favourite sporting event to attend. Unfortunately, “teacher-life” means it tough to actually attend any day other than middle Saturday… but provided the weather looks good, you cannot stop me pitching up my tent on Friday night to camp in the queue! The earlier you can get in the queue, the

We had looked at several different options for a May half term holiday and since Rob had always wanted to visit Rome, it felt ok to justify that flights were slightly more than some other Europe destinations. We paid around £150 for return flights with just hand-luggage and then had a bit of a mission trying
Rome is a beautiful city, brimming with history and the most amazing churches. We had enough time in 4 days to revisit a couple of our favourite spots but would still love to return. Had the weather been slightly towards the end of our trip, we would’ve also had time to visit Florence. But we
We pre-booked our tickets for the Vatican museum because we knew it would be very popular. We had arranged a 2:30PM entry and were so glad because when we arrived the queue was massive – so we basically jumped it just for an extra 2€! The tickets cost 20€ which included entry to the museum,
