Back from Barbados!
I am sorry I wasn’t very active on the blog this week, but for good reasons! I have just escaped the worst winter week of the year in London and headed for the first time ever to the Caribbean. We settled on Barbados when realising that our Mexican dream of Tulum would be too expensive.…
