  • My first day back to work after two weeks off and I'm spent. The boy goes back to school, and I'm sure our routine will soon settle (for the next few weeks until May half term 🤦‍♀️) For now, I'll spend my evenings going through the thousands of photos I took in Sri Lanka, reminiscing the wonderful times I had and the friends I made, and hoping that the country has the support to rebuild ❤🇱🇰 This video was taken at sunrise at the beautiful @mosvold.villa .
  • Absolutely heartbroken with the news today. I am home now, but it was only a couple of days ago that we saw people pray and sing outside the many churches in Negombo as they celebrated Good Friday and we waved goodbye to friends going back to Colombo. It's all just absolutely horrible :( My heart goes out to our Sri Lankan friends, and the wonderful people of Sri Lanka ❤ 🇱🇰 Stay strong Sri Lanka
  • 🐆 Yala NP From the southern shores we moved on to Yala National Park, the scenery changing dramatically within a handful of hours. We stayed at @leopardtrails tented camp, which gave us access to a less busy section of the park and allowed to spot a couple of leopards, elephants and beautiful variety of birds . . . . . . . #srilanka #selectiveasia #tripandtoniccollection #luxurytravel #suitcasemagazine #lonelyplanet #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmtravelbug #passionpassport #instatravel #bbctravel #luxurystay #luxuryhotel #roomwithaview #guardiantravelsnaps #beautifuldestinations #travelphotography #tbin #ukftb #ftb100 #travelblogger #familytravelblogger #cntraveler  #srilankatravel #visitsrilanka #travelsrilanka #explorestilanka #yalanationalpark #leopards
  • We've been unbelievably lucky on this trip when it comes to wildlife. We were told it'd be tough to come across dolphins, but shortly after setting off from Mirissa we spotted dozens of them swimming in front of our boat. Less then half an hour later we saw this beauty swimming right in front of us (it's a whale!!)😍 🐳🐬 We thought it couldn't get better, but we docked near a bay and did some paddlebparding before lunch. Perfect day before we got to our hotel for sunset @mosvold.villa I'll pop some photos on stories if you're curious ↖️ Where: #Mirissa #SriLanka Stay & eat: @mosvold.villa . . . . . . . . @selectiveasia #selectiveasia #tripandtoniccollection #traveldeeper #suitcasemagazine #lonelyplanet #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmtravelbug #passionpassport #instatravel #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #travelstoke #passportready #beautifuldestinations #dolphins #travelnow #livetravelchannel #travelphotography #tbin #ukftb #ftb100 #travelblogger #familytravelblogger #searchwandercollect #thatsdarling #srilankatravel #visitsrilanka #travelsrilanka
  • A big belated hello from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I've been here for the past week, on a dream work trip having some of the most spectacular experiences I've ever had, with the best bunch of people whilst staying at the most beautiful selection of hotels! I've been trying to stay offline to take it all in as these things dont happen every day, but now I find myself with a million photos to share and still another week to go! So apologies for the spam, and I hope you enjoy this virtual journey through a country I've completely fallen in love with. Heres a glimpse of Mirissas fish market at sunrise, which we stumbled upon on our way to a whale watching boat trip 🐳🐬 Hop over to stories fur more ↖️ . . . . . . . #srilanka #selectiveasia #tripandtoniccollection #traveldeeper #suitcasemagazine #lonelyplanet #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmtravelbug #passionpassport #instatravel #bbctravel #guardiantravelsnaps #travelstoke #passportready #beautifuldestinations #travelmore #beautifulplacesonearth #livetravelchannel #travelphotography #tbin #ukftb #ftb100 #travelblogger #familytravelblogger #cntraveler  #thatsdarling #srilanka #srilankatravel #visitsrilanka #srilankadaily #travelsrilanka
  • [Ad] What a stunner of a day! It's a welcome dose of sunshine for us here in Brighton after what seems like weeks of stormy weather! We took to the seafront early in the morning with our brand new @halfords_uk bikes 🌟 and ended up cycling and hanging out with friends all day - the perfect Sunday! Were planning on going on a longish ride for mothers day next week, so I was so happy to see my munchkin has a new found love for cycling after two years of refusing to ride 😍 I was super proud of him, and a big thanks to the guys at Halfords in Hove for helping him feel confident with his cycling when we picked up the bikes (go to our stories to see more). I hope you've all enjoyed this bit of spring - what did you get up to?
