When we decided to explore Norway, I knew we were in for dramatic landscapes - but nothing quite prepares you for the reality of those crystal-clear fjords reflecting the mountains like mirrors. Our week-long adventure took us from Oslo through to the stunning fjord region of Balestrand, finishing in the charming harbour city of Bergen.

As we had a family wedding in Seoul to attend this summer, we thought we’d break up the journey with a holiday in Bangkok and Koh Samui. Ruth was brilliant in organising all the logistics. We live in France and usually book our own hotels and flights but with all the transfers, internal flights and various international flights to organise, it was so much easier for Ruth to do it for us!

She booked us into the beautiful Atermono Boutique Resort in Platanias, Crete - a gorgeous property with del

In 2024, they travelled with Santa's Lapland and stayed at Santa's Hotel Tunturi in Saariselkä for three nights over Christmas. I asked 11-year-old Luca to tell me about his Lapland adventure... It was our first time in Lapland, and honestly, the whole trip was way better than what I had imagined - it was magical! My favourite thing, other than meeting Santa, was definitely the longest toboggan
