For nearly every holiday I’ve been on since 2009 I’ve tried to do a cartoon ‘map’ that records all the funny silly sayings and most important things that happened on the trip.
In 2019 as a family we stopped flying because of its insanely high carbon footprint, and also because of how bad it is in terms of immediate noise and air pollution. It has meant our holiday destinations have become less exotic, but it really doesn’t matter when you are with friends or family!

Unfortunately a stone clipped our windscreen about 2 hours away from the Club Med and cracked it, and the crack just kept on getting bigger and bigger as we drove. The only appointment we could get… Read more

Easter 2024
I didn’t do so much of a cartoon of our trip this time as several little pictures. I didn’t take enough notes of the holiday, and I left it too long afterwards before I drew the pictures to remember any funny/silly things which I am a bit sad about. We did have a nice trip… Read more
