Now that you’ve finally booked that European summer vacation you’ve been dreaming about, you need to start planning what you’re going to take with you.

After a long, cold winter we were desperate to get some sunshine, so we set off for the dramatic volcanic island of Lanzarote in the Spanish Canary Islands. Here we discovered beautiful beaches, amazing wine, dramatic volcanic landscapes and salt pans.

The picturesque medieval town of Bergerac in Dordogne, south west France makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Bergerac also features boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, and of course, delicious bakeries.

During our stay in Bordeaux, we went on a full day wine tasting tour to the Médoc wine region. This region is famous for its full bodied red wines and its many stunning Châteaux.
