Exploring London Bridge – Family Friendly Sightseeing

Many years ago, I trained and worked as a dental nurse with King’s College London and as part of that I rotated around three hospitals -King’s (Denmark Hill), Guy’s (London Bridge), and St Thomas’s (Lambeth). Even though I spent the majority of my time at Guy’s Hospital during my two years training, I really didn’t ever properly explore London Bridge.

With this in mind, you can imagine my excitement at being recently tasked to visit London Bridge* and seek out its gems.

Armed with a budget, my husband and a baby (his first trip into London), we headed into the city to see what we could find.

Top Tip: If you’re travelling in London with a baby/children in a stroller, make sure you note which tube stations have lift access otherwise you’ll have to navigate the stairs.

Babymoon to Spain (Mijas, Fuengirola & Seville)

The secret is out! Followers of my Instagram and anyone connected to my personal Facebook account found out at the end of March that I had been concealing my pregnancy from the internet, and I am now the proud mamma of a gorgeous baby boy!

With this being my first baby, and my general discomfort about people declaring pregnancies and posting photos of their children online (read about that in more detail here), I just didn’t want people other than immediate family and close friends knowing we were expecting. Sorry, but I hope you all understand.

This also explains my recent silence on here because despite all the sleeping babies do, being able to get anything productive done is near impossible… so please continue to bear with me.

Four Things I Loved about Provincetown, Cape Cod | The Honeymoon Series

Hey Sweeties,

What can I say about Provincetown? It’s just the most lovely, most photogenic, most accepting place that I have ever been to. If you love Cornwall i.e. St Ives, you’ll adore Provincetown.

Provincetown was our third destination as part of our honeymoon (read about Boston, and Washington DC) and was the leg of the trip that we outlined for chilling out.

To be honest, I can’t really remember when we were planning our honeymoon, how we settled on Cape Cod and specifically Provincetown? I think it might have started with an accommodation search and built that way, but really we should have considered logistics first because we booked to go out of season which had an impact on getting there and what was open once we arrived. That all being said, I left Provincetown completely smitten with the place. Here’s why –

Three Days in Washington, D.C – What did we do? | The Honeymoon Series

Hey Sweeties,

Today I am bringing you part two of my honeymoon; last week was Boston, today it’s Washington, D.C!

I would pour yourself a brew, this is a chunky post!

One of the best things to note about Washington, D.C is that aside from food and accommodation, all of your activities can be free, or at low cost, providing you are organised.

When we arrived in Washington, D.C, I suddenly got anxious and stressed that we were not going to get enough time to see everything we wanted. So almost as soon as we arrived at the hotel, I got the map out and started planning our itinerary.  Poor Ian, I started to get quite naggy and bossy that we needed to be organised. As it happened, we had plenty of time to do everything we wanted (for a first trip), as we were realistic with what we could get done in the time that we had. Truth be told, I think we could go back a few more times and still not see everything because there is so much to do there.

It is always worth your time to do your research about a place before a trip and particularly with a city like Washington, D.C, even though as I mentioned a minute ago that nearly everything can be done at zero cost, sometimes you need to book ahead to secure your tickets. However, more on that later.
