Just tried to buy a train ticket at a machine and they were asking for £10 more than on Trainline (needless to say I did not purchase). But why oh why is there such a dark art to buying a train ticket in this country?
Fabulous - thanks Caroline. Will take a look!
Hi all, any recommendations of a great French campsite somewhere between Calais and Loire that has a waterpark? We’re visiting a friend but want to have some
family fun first! #travel #france #travelwriters
Mull really has been something special this past week. Feel revived and rotund in equal measure (the cakes at the Old Post Office in Lochbuie are too good). #isleofmull #scottishisles
Sounds awesome!
That looks suspiciously like our son’s favourite teddy - we didn’t steal him, honest and we are far away. BUT your local forum is your friend here. Good luck!
Hmmm something does feel off
I’m sure she’ll be sorely missed.
Ooh we are! Good shout!
I’m sure it will - very much looking forward to that aspect!
All lovely-sounding ideas
It’s on the list - we were there last time so I’m hoping it will be open!
I’ve signed. Have you?
Off to the Isle of Mull for February half-term. Anyone have any great ideas of what we should do and what might be open? Obviously happy to go in wintry walks and return to our cosy cottage to dry out/warm up but might be nice to factor in a few other things too #scotland #travel #Mull #IsleofMull
I had a brilliant windfall two years ago. Last year’s was about half but still four figures and I could so do with it again!
Yep got mine. Hoping for a little more from ALCS 🤞
Is it a sign of getting old that I don’t think January is going slowly at all? Like every other month, it’s whizzing by 😅
Yes, 10am Monday please
Fab - 10am Monday please

The 2nd edition of my travel guide to Scotland for Moon Travel Guides goes on sale today. I have some review copies available, so let me know if you’re planning a trip. And if any editors are looking for Scottish content, then you know where I am! www.littlebrown.co.uk/titles/sally...
Not a good look at all. I would cringe for them if I wasn’t so appalled
I don’t believe I have ever admired a woman as much as Gisele Pelicot. What a woman. The BBC’s coverage of the sentencing is incredible and I really hope this will trigger real change in terms of rape culture, consent, and the inexplicable obsession within our society to shame victims
Last magazine out the door before Christmas - I think I deserve a Baileys tonight! ☺️
Emails to the editor (that’s me 👋) addressed to ‘Sir’ can get in the bin. It’s not even the utter laziness that grates but the assumption - in 2024! - that the editor is male! Ha. Unbelievable.
Just had my first mum’s-lost-her-shit meltdown of the season. It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas 😀
Is this satire?
8yo: You want to play Frustration?
Me: No, it’s your bedtime and I have to clean the kitchen
8yo (exasperated): But you did that yesterday!
Me: I know mate, tell me about it!
Grown-up life sucks
Yes, I’ve just seen the doctor and they’ve prescribed a steroid spray as it’s so bad at times. I’ve been taking a Loratadine every day, which helps a bit. Good luck, it’s so annoying!
