The tales of Mr and Mrs Average and their family unit.. (aka the dogs)
Having been into all things equestrian since childhood, a cattle drive had been a long held dream, a bucket list adventure which finally came to fruition. The arrival of a big birthday had prompted us to book this dream trip almost a year ago and in September 2026, those dreams finally came true. Having always... Continue Reading →
And just like that, time has ticked on. Long gone is the dreary winter and after a short shot of spring, we have been having a glorious summer littered with the odd heatwave and spurts of seriously colourful flowers. This has meant lazier days, hammock time, less walks but there have still been many adventures.... Continue Reading →
Mr Nomad and I were invited to attend a family wedding to witness the nuptials of a cousin, Jessica and her beau, Paul. The happy couple have been together forever, and truly represent love's young dream and it was a privilege to be part of their special day. The wedding was to take place on... Continue Reading →
As this year draws to a close, Mummy reminded me that I haven't blogged for an age so I've given my thoughts on what has been a funny old time. The start of the year met with cold and bleak conditions as is always the case in the Great British winter. No doubt the readers... Continue Reading →

Malta is an island country in Southern Europe in the Mediterranean Sea, nestled between Sicily and North Africa. Its... Continue Reading →
Our average people adventures took us to Gozo this year. This rugged island can be found in the Maltese archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. It is incredibly rural and much less developed than its neighbour Malta and it is known for its scenic hills, and rolling landscapes. It is an island steeped in history and... Continue Reading →
Having spent many of my formative years in Germany, when Mr Nomad was called to work across the waters of the North Sea in the depths of Deutschland, I couldn't help but take a quickie weekend to join him. This fleeting trip also coincided with Easter so we took the opportunity to enjoy a long... Continue Reading →
The day after was the worst. The realisation that we will never see you again descends like a darkness seeping in. The emptiness drip feeds the heart; once full of love now just numb with despair. Your decline was so rapid, and we lost you before we were ready. A week later, the silence still... Continue Reading →
Just prior to the Christmas festivities, Mr Nomad and I booked a last minute, rather impulsive get away. Winter had well and truly set in, work had been all consuming and the impending Christmas season weighed on our minds with the usual frantic organisation to squeeze in time to see our nearest and dearest around...
