Poshmum is in Gdansk care of Jet2 flights direct from Newcastle Upon Tyne in the UK. Chaotic processing of our entry by the customs officials. Our flight took just over 2 hours, but it took an hour and a half, thanks to the (none) efficacy of the EU imposed system, before we sank into a … More Gdansk winter
The last time we flew into Phoenix, also via British Airways, was way back in 2008! The chaos of the airport pickup was similar. Last time we got a driver who didn’t know his way around the city. This time, the Drury Inn & Suites Phoenix Airport shuttle service proved to be none-existent, we used … More Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado revisited
Don’t know why I haven’t covered Lincolnshire before but hey its worth a visit for many reasons. Lincolnshire is famous for the Royal Air Force presence. Lincoln also developed the world’s first tank in 1915, used in The Somme in 1916. Visit bars frequented by brave airmen who placed coins in the roof beams for … More Lincolnshire
So called after people about to be hung struggling on the way to the gallows. Dates to 1841. Understood to be haunted by the dog of a man hung for murdering a game keeper.

These truly gorgeous images were taken at Easter 2022 at Craster in Northumberland, UK. The coastline here is simply stunning. For foodies think kippers and crabs. However I passed on one vendor’s offering. A kipper in a sandwich just didn’t cut it! Nature lovers will spot many sea creatures. Certainly takes one’s breath away. In … More Beautiful English coast
Poshmum blown away by the delicious Indian food at Rishi’s Indian Aroma in Dundee. Food at the Taypark House Hotel is highly recommended too. Delicious roasted cod alone made our journey here worthwhile! Verdant Jute Mill Dundee. Vital to Dundee’s heritage and a crucial reason as to how women’s prominence led it to become known … More Scotland, raw, incredibly beautiful and timeless
Switzerland here we come and not a flight to our names. Sunderland to London. St Pancras to Brussels. Brussels to Cologne. Then Ice train to Grindelwald for starters. Tailormaderail: https://www.tailormaderail.com/ made all of the arrangements including seat bookings, excursions and hotels. Indeed the only thing left to us was to pack and turn up! Overall … More Switzerland on track
Getting here from a number of UK airports is easy in the Summer months but more challenging in Winter. If you are travelling from the North East UK you can currently fly direct with Jet2 from Newcastle Upon Tyne if you can stay a week, for shorter stays try Leeds Bradford, also Jet2 for outward … More Thessaloniki, Greece
First and foremost Poshmum would like to assert that this is a British holiday in Derbyshire and Cheshire and not a staycation. The term ‘staycation’ is objectionable and insulting to those of us who have always been supportive of holidays on home territory. Much as I love travelling overseas, holidays in Britain are just that. … More Peak District UK and why Not?
