🎙 NEW POD EPISODE! I chat to award-winning author of ‘Dark, Salt, Clear’ Lamorna Ash about living like a local. Lamorna fully immersed herself into a small fishing community in #newlyn in #cornwall. girlsthattravel.com/blog/living-li… Huge thanks to @knackbags for sponsoring this episode

@GWRHelp Amazing thank you 😊

@GirlsThatTravel Hi Gemma. The full timetable has been published and the services showing at gwr.com/check are the trains we expect to run. We have removed trains from this timetable that we are unable to run, so all services on this page should be up-to-date and accurate - Alex

@GWRHelp hello! I know there’s a reduced service tmrw but your website timetable seems to have regular trains to Reading. Is this correct? If not do you have a revised timetable for tmrw please? Thanks !

@thethoughtcard I can’t handle the cuteness! 😍😍😍

I paddle while my family relax at the back 😅🤷🏼‍♀️🇦🇪 just home from the UAE and all of my travel-snobbery was proven wrong! #persianGulf

Sunrise, a cup of tea in bed and my @wanderlustmag ..bliss! Happy weekend!

@MushahidSyed2 @dubaitourism Thank you 😊

@dubaitourism hello, I'm travelling to Dubai soon with my partner and our 7 year old daughter. We (the adults) are triple vaccinated but the 7 year old is not - will she need to take a PCR before we leave the UK or is it just adults over 12? Thanks so much.

@robinmckelvie @wanderlustmag Slainte to you too! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so excited and even trying to learn a few words of Scottish Gaelic. Wish me luck!

You’ve just fair brightened up a dreich Sunday morning in the office, thanks Gemma. Glad you enjoyed my @wanderlustmag piece. Haste ye back, slainte! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤝

Loved the #Scotland feature in @wanderlustmag so much by @robinmckelvie that I read it twice 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 can’t wait to get back for the trip we had to covid cancel last year

@pip_says No tips but I hear you! I'm just getting back into the swing of things too. I was holed up on the North Yorkshire Moors and loved the escape! All I can suggest is plenty of tea and biscuits (the answer is always biscuits!) xxx

Had to take a bit of time off over Dec and i'm now slowing catching up with emails/work. Any tips to reduce January funk greatly appreciated. :)

@RoundhouseLDN hi! If I buy tickets within my account for Black Country New Road can I forward the pdf tickets to someone else (as they are a birthday present) ? Thanks!

@23andMeSupport hi! I ordered my kit on December 8th and it was shipped on the 9th but still hasn’t arrived. I live in the UK - is there any way I can see when it will arrive? Thanks!

Good luck to my girl @PreetChandi10 ! Love this from the @waitrose Weekend mag. I’ll be thinking of you! 🇦🇶 #polarpreet

My daughter got this from a friend for her bday. Think this might be *the* best present for travel mad kids (and adults!). Colour your own global pillowcase 🤩🌎

Here’s to 28 more please! 😍🌎

I’m looking for brill ideas for a travel Xmas Gift Guide - kit, accessories, items to get the travel addict excited #journorequest

@lfnand Sending lots of hugs to you all xxxx

Send positive energy to my dad please, he’s 82 and just gone to hospital with Covid

@Cathman Tricky with nap time too. We took our girl to Amsterdam when she was 2 and hired bikes with a child seat. She fell asleep whilst we were pootling around but woke up in the red light district. She waved at ALL the ladies in the windows. I think she was a welcome distraction ☺️

Lessons learnt from taking a toddler on a city break: - Plan only one 'thing' a day - Take raisins as bribes to get them to do... anything - Hook up baby monitor in hotel room so you can escape to the bar when they're asleep - But really: don't bother until they're 12
