A lovely few days spent recently up in the North East, soaking up some autumn sunshine and catching up with family. 🍂☀️ Thought about giving broomstick training a go at Alnwick Castle—after all, if it was good enough for Harry Potter... 😉 Maybe next time!

Have you ever fallen victim to making this mistake? I was visiting the island of Martinique when I worked with Air France. 🌴 Such an amazing trip—until I made the mistake of falling asleep under a palm tree! Let’s just say I woke up with a sunburn shaped like a palm print and spent the rest of my time there walking around with a very distinct outline on my back. Lesson learned 😂

Martinique is an amazing mix of French and Creole vibes, with gorgeous beaches, lush rainforests, and so much history. It's often referred to as the "Island of Flowers". You’ve got everything from an active volcano, Mount Pelée, to perfect spots for snorkeling in crystal-clear water. And the towns, like Fort-de-France, are so lively with colorful markets and incredible Creole food. It's a true tropical paradise.

Who wouldn't want to go and see this 'happy chappie' 😊 I joined an excellent on-line training session last week with one of our local, Australian ground agents, refreshing my knowledge of Western Australia.

Rottnest Island, home to this adorable little guy, is approximately a 25-minute ferry ride from Freemantle or 90 minutes from Perth's Barrack Street Jetty, and makes for an excellent day trip. Rent a bike to explore the island and relax on its pristine beaches.
