A blog break and some winter sun in La Gomera

8/12/2019

2 Comments

 
I'm heading off to the sunshine for a few days!  It really is only a very quick four night break though.  We are going to La Gomera in the Canary Islands to see our friend off on an epic rowing challenge.  Him and his son are part of a four man team who will be rowing from La Gomera to Antiqua in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.   Their team is called Bucks Buoys and you can follow their progress on their facebook page here.

I think possibly they are utterly mad as it is a very risky row.  But all credit to them, they have trained hard and for Kev it has been something of a midlife metamorphosis to change his health and fitness from er umm very unfit to very fit, lean and trim - turning 50 isn't so bad after-all and it does seem to bring with it life-changing goals.

Age positivity and why we believe every woman can wear a bikini - guest post in association with Cotton Traders

24/7/2019

You will have seen from my posts in the past that I am all for wearing the bikini and for encouraging and promoting body positivity.  I don't believe there should be an age limit to what we choose to wear, I am certainly not going to be too hot and not get a tanned tummy because 'someone' says it isn't the done thing to wear bikini post 50.  ​So as many of you set off on your summer holidays this year I hope you will find these encouraging words helpful. whether you decide to rock a bikini or enjoy wearing a super-flattering swimsuit, relax and enjoy it!

Two weeks in Kalkan in Turkey

27/6/2019

Okay I will be honest I did spend nearly every day, all day, just sat on my sun lounger, with the most exercise being to get up from said sun lounger, get in the pool, cool off and return to the sun lounger!  Isn't that what hot holidays are all about?!  We've just spent two weeks in Kalkan in Turkey and it was wonderful.  I did nothing, I didn't cook, I didn't have to think about what to cook, I didn't do any housework or washing.  I wore bikini's all day and summer dresses at night.

Our holiday was booked with Simpson Travel who I cannot recommend highly enough.  We discovered them six years ago when we went to Kalkan for the first time.  They are a slightly higher end, more exclusive but not a silly expensive tour operator.  They focus on excellent customer service and totally looking after you every minute of your holiday.  We've since used them to go to Corfu and Kefalonia and now back to Kalkan again.
