The Alphabet Project | C is for Cervione

Welcome to the third week of the Alphabet Photography Project and letter C! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

There seems to be a bit of a travel theme going on after Boulogne for letter B. This photograph was taken a couple of months back when we were in Corsica. The historic Cervione is a little known village with wooden shutters, cobbled streets and quirky cafes. One of the first things we saw when we got out of the taxi from the nearby Mark Warner resort was this little house in a hill. The views they have must be absolutely magnificent as their patio faces seaward. Just beautiful.

Cascade de L’Ucelluline, Santa Maria Poggio

The stunning Cascade de L’Ucelluline is located on the border between the villages of Santa Maria Poggio and San Nicolao in Corsica. We’d heard about this hidden waterfall through staff at the San Lucianu Beach Resort.

We spent the majority of our time utilising the activities on resort. We’d also visited the magnificent village of Cervione for a couple of hours so I was excited to see what else the local area had to offer. With the age limit for the walk 14+, POD stayed on resort with Daddy that afternoon while I headed to the waterfall with a few fellow bloggers and our Mark Warner Guide.

What’s The Story? | 17th August 2015

Hello everyone, welcome to What’s The Story for w/c 17th August. Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

Our #whatsthestory post this week focuses on Cascade de L’Ucelluline, a waterfall located in the Santa Maria Poggio region of Corsica. I took a trip there when we holidayed with Mark Warner recently. It was the best thing ever to take a swim in the cool water after walking in thirty degree heat for an hour. Absolute bliss!

What’s on the menu at San Lucianu?

As POD’s Great Grandparents would say we’re “good trencher-men” a phrase for hearty eaters that goes back to medieval times when the trencher was a wooden plate. Although we’ll eat pretty much anything that’s put in front of us we’ve also been known to frequent dining establishments owned by sweary and unclothed celebrity chefs so we know how good food can be.

The Great British Tennis Weekend

In August there will be another fantastic opportunity to get involved in the wonderful sport of tennis. As part of the LTA’s Great British Tennis Weekend there’ll be free sessions available for all, at participating local clubs, gyms and sports centres, to be reacquainted with or get a first taste of the sport that ignites every British summer.

Watersports at San Lucianu Beach Resort

Mark Warner makes everything so easy. From checking in, the BA chartered flight and the transfer the other end to the array of activities available on resort and of course the childcare.

Earlier this year, we had our first family holiday with Mark Warner at the Levante Beach Resort in Rhodes, Greece. We’d never put POD in childcare on holiday before but a few hours each morning meant we could finally dust down the rackets. The POD Father even dilly dallied with sailing although it was short-lived – simply because we ran out of time.

What’s The Story? | 20th July 2015

Hello everyone, welcome to What’s The Story for w/c 20th July. Thank you to those of you that joined in last time.

This week I thought I’d share some of the watersport fun we had in Corsica recently. Mark Warner makes it so easy to get involved in their activities so got to sail on the most glorious day. POD loved it and even got to try a spot of kayaking and windsurfing too.

Tennis at San Lucianu Beach Resort

Our recent trip to the beautiful island of Corsica staying at the San Lucianu Beach Resort was our fourth holiday with Mark Warner and the fourth time we’ve taken advantage of their tennis set-up.

The POD Father and I signed up for the classic course, which gives 4 x 1 hour mornings of tennis tuition for £80, with in this case a single coach, Blake. Previously we’d played tennis at San Agostino, Lakitira and Levante where there are more courts and three coaches respectively.

What’s The Story? | 13th July 2015

Hello everyone, welcome to What’s The Story for w/c 13th July. Thank you to those of you that joined in last time.

We’ve had an especially busy weekend, mostly at the brilliant GoFest, so my #whatsthestory post is live on Tuesday this week. It will be the first post from our holiday in Corsica with Mark Warner and it’s rather photo heavy *obvs*. In the meantime, I’m leaving you with nutritious recipe – courgette chocolate brownies. Grain free and gluten free but still delicious!

Building water confidence

We started POD swimming when she was just six months old. She took to it like a duck to water and for several months she loved it. She even seemed to enjoy being under the water. A break (literally in my case!) changed all that and it was quite a few months before we returned to the thalassotherapy pool.

A new course teacher believed POD would be fine to pick up where she left off despite the absence. But she developed ‘the fear’ in her first lesson. We persevered for a few weeks but POD was terrified even before she entered the pool. Once in she continued to cling to the POD Father like a limpet and her screams became more intense. We were told to persevere so we did but each week was the same.
