Eager to take on the snow tops, we ventured to Cortina, Italy for what we pictured to be a peaceful and relaxing snow trip. Boy were we wrong – the only thing we ended up picturing was a face full of snow and a new set of blue and purple bruises.

Whoo hoo – talk about a great place! South Africa reminded me so much of home, I actually came back to London feeling like I had ‘topped up’ on ‘home’! We spent 9 days in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pilanesberg with our friends Nicci & Jono and their families.
