On a Tube map, the distances look small. On the Monopoly board they’re even closer. But when I walked part of the route for #TeamHonk in London, organised around Monopoly board properties, I was beat. I came home and collapsed on the sofa while lots of the other bloggers were still pounding the pavement. WeContinue reading “Join Honkopoly in London for Sports Relief”

Top tips for travel bloggers
World Travel Market (WTM) in London is a must-attend event for any travel blogger or journalist. Every year I dread it.

Over this holiday I’ve been working on launching the new BritMums site – which qualifies, in a way, about blogging, since Susanna and I have spent hours talking about what bloggers need and want from a social network. That translates into waking up 5amContinue reading “Do you take a summer break from blogging?”
