Best travel cots for babies and toddlers 2019
It can be difficult enough establishing a good routine in the familiar surroundings of your home, so going away for even as little as a night can seem like a daunting prospect: not only do you have the travel itself to contend with, but then there’s the question of settling a baby at your destination. If you’ve girded your loins and set out by car, rail or plane with a baby in tow, then presumably you’re planning on having some semblance of a nice time when you get there - a nice time that, again presumably, doesn’t involve hours of wakefulness and attempting to console an overtired baby. A travel cot should offer your baby a cocoon, of sorts - a place that’s soothing, calming, reassuring and, critically, sleep inducing. Add a few familiar touches of your own - I always travel with the sheepskin from my child’s cot, which not only smells like home but is also useful at regulating temperature. On this note, the travel cot you choose should also, for … [Read more...] about Best travel cots for babies and toddlers 2019
I ditched my husband and found love with a homeless man who lived in a car park
CHARITY was the only thing on Louise Morecombe’s mind when she set up a group to help the homeless. But the married mum of five ended up finding love with one of the rough sleepers. She was as shocked as anyone when she fell for Stuart Jonas, 39, who was bedding down on the third floor of a Debenhams car park. The couple, who jokingly call themselves “Lady and the Tramp”, are now engaged. Louise, 35, from Swindon, Wilts says: “It was like a Disney movie, I’ve finally got my happy ending. “When I met Stuart on a freezing night in November sleeping in a car park, he was smelly and his filthy hair was matted. “You’d never think he would be the love of my life. I had always considered myself prim and proper. “But I cut his hair and helped him look for a job and, from there, love blossomed. Now we cannot wait to marry in the next couple of years.” Full-time mum Louise set up her group to help the homeless in 2017 as she searched … [Read more...] about I ditched my husband and found love with a homeless man who lived in a car park
Travel Review: Go on, take a hike through Austria’s mountains
That Julia Bradbury has got a lot to answer for. Where hiking was once a pastime for the older generation, the popular presenter has picked up on the idea and, er, walked with it. She has single-handedly done for walking what Janet Street-Porter did for rambling in the 1990s. To an extent, the austerity culture which has hit Britain in recent years may also have played a part. Walking is free, it's good for you, and it takes you to parts of the countryside you never knew existed. Here in Bristol we are lucky to have access to some of the finest hiking territory around, with the likes of the Malverns, the Cheviots and the Brecon Beacons just a stone's throw away. Having got a fair bit of practice in over the last few months, including a cheeky climb up Snowdon, we decided to cast our net further afield and see what was on offer in Europe. Once we had settled on Austria, we had to choose a region, and we picked the Salzkammergut - an area around Salzburg similar in many ways to the Lake … [Read more...] about Travel Review: Go on, take a hike through Austria’s mountains
