We stayed in Cala Bona on the east coast of the island. Think low key beach vibes, shallow, sparkling waters, a bustling harbour front perfect for an evening sundowner and an abundance of cute souvenir shops that family holidays are made of!

We snorkelled everyday in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean and spotted all sorts of cool sea life.

Our hotel was a 2 minute walk from the beach and resort centre and was the perfect holiday base. Amazing cocktails, great food and a lovely pool view from our ground floor terrace.

Comment Cala Bona and I’ll send you my blog post with the full details of this dreamy Majorca getaway….

The beautiful @exburygardens in the New Forest was the perfect location for this open air event. With plenty of space for everyone to spread out with their own picnics. The kids loved the food vans on site too, the crepes and churros were a delicious treat! 

@livequeenexperience were absolutely incredible! The rain held off and we danced the night away!

It was an evening to remember and one that that the whole family enjoyed.

Save this for your future summer plans!

New paddle boarding adventure today on the River S New paddle boarding adventure today on the River Stour at Eye Bridge in Wimborne.

This is a great location for a peaceful paddle and ideal for beginners.

~ Launch from the carpark: 553 Cowgrove Road, Wimborne, BH21 4EL. It’s a small carpark but there is also an overflow section on the left. 

~ The shallow water makes it easy to launch. Head right, paddling up river and under Eye Bridge. Left will take you over a small weir, so avoid that! 

~ It’s such a gorgeous spot with cows grazing on the waters edge, crystal clear waters and lots of fish to spot.

~ We didn’t make it there today but 2.5 miles upstream gets you to The Coventry Arms. You can access the beer garden for a drink. 

~ The paddle back is super easy with the current in your favour. 

Save this for your next paddle boarding trip!
