    05 September 2016 by Trish Burgess

    travelCompiling the travel round-up at the end of the summer is always a joy. I love to read about your trips within the UK and beyond: the lazy days at the seaside, city breaks, fun and exploration. If you want to find out where BritMums families have been this summer, or are seeking inspiration for next year, hopefully you will find something to tempt you here.

    A. Take them camping. No joke*.

    My next travel round-up will be food-related. I’m looking for travel posts which feature either great restaurants, local cuisine or street markets. Contact me via my blog, Mum’s Gone To, or Twitter @mumsgoneto.

     

     

    About Trish Burgess

    Trish Burgess started her blog ‘Mum’s Gone To…’ with a series of posts called ‘Mum's Gone To Iceland' where she was extremely ill on a whale-watching trip and thought she would die snow-mobiling on a glacier. Thankfully she survived and continued with less scary family trips: ‘Mum’s Gone To…Canada, Cyprus, Barcelona, Berlin etc. Originally from Newcastle upon Tyne she now lives in South Lincolnshire and travels with her husband and occasionally with her son, who is now at university. Trish can be found on Twitter at @mumsgoneto
