Today I have a fun travel post (and video!) sharing some of my favourite things to do in the beautiful city of Aix-en-Provence.
Located in the South of France, it was definitely one of my favourite places that we visited while on our honeymoon!
While I do of course love big cities like Paris, I always seem to fall head over heels for the smaller towns that just seem to have that extra special magic about them, and the area we stayed (right in the middle of the Old Town) was oozing with charm and delights around every corner!
Beautiful old buildings, moss-covered fountains (it’s known as “The City of a Thousand Fountains” for a reason!), and vibrant markets held in the town squares under the shade of giant plane trees.. a perfect French town to explore!
5 Places to Eat in Bologna
Out of everywhere we visited, Bologna was my absolute favourite when it came to the food, so today I'm sharing 5 fab places to eat in Bologna.

As I mentioned in my Esperance Travel Guide, I very much enjoyed staying at Esperance Chalet Village and wanted to give this place a full post to itself because I couldn't recommend it more highly. Set on a beautiful property, just out of town, there are a number of chalets and cabins of varying sizes that can accommodate from 2 to 5 guests. Quiet, private and serene but also only a short drive to town and a great base to explore from.

Today I'm sharing a little Esperance Travel Guide - What to do, where to stay and of course my food and drink recommendations! Tom and I spent 3 days in Esperance for our honeymoon (or "mini-moon" as we're calling it - we have plans for a bigger trip next year!) and had such a fab time. Being a 7.5 hour drive from Perth, it was somewhere that neither of us had been before and it really was lovely to explore a little more of Western Australia, this amazing state we get to call home.
Read moreThe Foodie Post - Breakfast at the Margaret River Bakery
A visit to the Margaret River Bakery is always a must whenever we find ourselves down south, so after deciding spontaneously to take a (very) short trip with my family this weekend, of course we had to stop by!
It's such a cute, quirky little place with mismatched furniture and an eclectic mix of colourful crockery, fun table numbers and of course fabulous food!
While they have a great selection of pies, rolls and yummy sweet treats, their breakfast menu is always my favourite. I was torn between choosing a number of the items - like the Avocado smash (which my mum had and loved), the Canadian pancakes or French Toast, but ultimately settled on their Granola with greek yoghurt and berries, which was not only delicious but also had the added benefit of being particularly photogenic ;)
Their Mango smoothie (that was actually green) was a winner too and my little sister Bella had the breakfast smoothie which she thoroughly enjoyed. My Mum tells me their Kermit Green Smoothie is also a good'un.
Tom had a long black (which was "okay but nothing to write home about" - although do note that Tom's a bit of a coffee snob!) and a pepper steak pie (their pies are always delicious!)
Delicious food, a lovely relaxed atmosphere and getting to spend time with some of my favourite people - a pretty good way to spend a Saturday morning :)
If you've never been before, The Bakery is definitely a place to add to your list (just keep in mind that they're closed on Sundays!)
Hope you're having a great weekend!
Lots of Love
Lauren
