As Halloween and Bonfire night has been and gone, the clocks have wound back an hour, and the darker nights are drawing in, I can't help but contemplate the year now not far behind us. It's been a tough year for us both, and following our glorious holiday to Gozo, I was itching for a... Continue Reading →
Let’s Go Malta
The island of Malta was so close to its neighbour, Gozo, that it would have been rude not to visit, even though our time was limited because we had attempted to exhaust the adventures on Gozo. Malta is an island country in Southern Europe in the Mediterranean Sea, nestled between Sicily and North Africa. Its... Continue Reading →
Let’s Go Gozo
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 →

This fleeting trip also coincided with Easter so we took the opportunity to enjoy a long... Continue Reading →
A Tribute – Hound Solo
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.

Christmas in Cyprus – An Island of Two Halves
Mr Nomad and I have the privilege of having friends in Cyprus who had invited us to enjoy Christmas with them. Given the miserable greyness of England in December, we cordially accepted their generosity and after depositing the furry Nomadic children with the Nomadic grandparents, we jetted off to enjoy Christmas in the sun. The Republic... Continue Reading →
Rabbits, Pigeons, Kebabs and Cucumber
It has been some time since I, Hound Solo a.k.a Solo Snuffle Pig or sometimes known as Sausage Roll, have had any form of look in simply because the diva of the family, a.k.a Princess Zuri seems to revel in hogging the limelight. Since she arrived in our family unit in Kenya, she has clung... Continue Reading →
