We love British food at World Travel Family. We love most food, to be honest. We have a passion for Thai and a fixation with Indian, my husband loves food so much he’s made a career out of it. He’s a chef, busy now in a 5-star kitchen on Park Lane. Right now we’re in …

The Ring of Kerry is the perfect destination to explore by car. Despite being on the petite size, Ireland still packs a punch. What it lacks in size it certainly makes up for in character. Filled with a wealth of historic sites and breath-taking landscape, Ireland is bursting with must-see attractions and things to do. …

Would you believe me if I told you that I didn’t know Assisi was in Italy until our week in Umbria with Our Whole Village? Why would I? I’d heard of St Francis of Assisi but had no idea who he was or what he did. St Francis Xavier is my particular favourite saint because …

I was very ill-prepared for our week in Umbria. I knew little of the region, other than its reputation for rustic, but delicious, food specialities ( I have my priorities! See our Food in Umbria post here.) I certainly knew nothing about the gorgeous medieval town of Gubbio. To be honest, I hadn’t even heard …

Since we’ve been back in the UK we’ve been revelling in the British food scene, privately and professionally. Borough Market is a great place to eat and buy British food at its best, this blog post will give you an idea of what food is available and what to eat at Borough Market London. It’s …

I know London pretty well, I’ve lived here for over 8 years on and off and I’m able to navigate my way around the city easily by foot, by car and by tube. Buses are a bit of a mystery to me, although my various travel passes ( currently Oyster) have included buses, I’ve very …

Discovering Umbrian food was a massive highlight of our week in Umbria with Our Whole Village. Everybody knows Italian food is like, but food in Umbria has its own specialities and local flavours. We dined incredibly well during our week and have the expanded waistlines to show for it. So a look at the food, …

As a Londoner of intermittent, but long, standing I have been known to advise visitors that the one very best thing they should do during their time in London, is ride the London Eye. Yesterday was my 4th, highly enjoyable, visit. I love it, so do many millions of other people. The London Eye is …

If you think of visiting London you probably don’t immediately think fish, unless they are in batter, but London does have a world-class aquarium right on the banks of the iconic River Thames. We took the kids along to The Sea Life Centre London Aquarium to test it out and create this review. At the …

London has some of the best museums in the world and the completely fabulous thing about them is, they’re free. The Museum of Childhood London is perhaps a lesser known museum, it doesn’t stand up against the South Kensington giants, but it’s well worth a visit if you have time when you’re in London. The …

Today was declared computer free day, we’ve all been wired up to the internet far too much lately. I’ve been catching up on work after our Italy trip, the kids have been blissed out on endless Minecraft and You Tube. No screens today, that was the rule. So before the boys woke up I checked …

Our week-long Italy trip centered around the most amazingly family friendly villa in Umbria. I’ve actually never seen accommodation so geared up for families with children, from tots to teens. We had a week of great activities lined up but my boys ( 10 and 7), were thrilled enough just to stay at the villa. We spent a …
