*Travel blogging in a pandemic* I just want to put

*Travel blogging in a pandemic* I just want to put it out there how uncomfortable I feel talking about real-time travel and days out on my social media at the moment. As we set off on our first staycation this weekend, I’ve been thinking about how/ if I will share our experience because, while we will follow every guideline to the letter and have done so since the start of this crisis, I am not naive to think that protects us from a virus that is still out there. And while I want to share what it’s like to travel at the moment, I’m not for a second implying it’s safe and that others should do the same. It might not be worth the risk for you and that’s fine. Everyone is easing out of lockdown differently. ⠀
⠀
Personally, we’ve been in a very small bubble as Justin and I have been able to work from home, Miles isn’t in childcare and we’ve only been to 1 other house (my mums) in 4 months, so I derive some comfort (for what it’s worth) to think we’re not a huge risk to our Airbnb host. (Who is currently deep cleaning the cabin we’re renting on her farmland.) ⠀
⠀
We’ll do our best to protect our little bubble as we take it on the road. And hopefully have a bloody lovely time despite the darn Covid. ⠀
⠀
*Ramble over.* ⠀

Is anyone else heading away this weekend? How are you feeling?

[Ad] I think I’ve spent more time in country parks and botanic gardens over the last few months than I have in my entire adulthood! Green spaces are not something I’ve ever really sought out before, except when I was in Singapore last year because theirs are truly exceptional. Singapore’s Botanic Garden is an 161-year-old UNESCO world heritage site, meanwhile its newer green spaces are botanical masterpieces. From the otherworldly Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay to the jaw-dropping Vortex at Jewel Changi Airport, Singapore’s gardens, reserves, indoor waterfalls and rainforests are not something you see everyday. Would you like to explore some of Singapore’s green spaces in future? I’ve rounded up 12 incredible ones on the blog for you www.girltweetsworld.com #singaporeexplorers #onedaysingapore

*Holiday capsule wardrobe* Usually around this tim

*Holiday capsule wardrobe* Usually around this time of year I start planning my capsule holiday wardrobe. I try to buy just a couple of new items every year and make sure they mix and match with the travel faves I already own. (Like this non-crease skirt that came everywhere from Stockholm to Penang in 2016 and the rust coloured one that seems to feature in all my photos from that year too 😂.) This year we’re planning to holiday in the Uk and I’m totally stumped about what to wear. Firstly, I have no idea what weather (or season 🤣) we’ll be greeted with when we get there and, secondly, due to the pandemic and having a little one, I’m not entirely sure what we’ll be doing either. Probably a lot of self catering so a ‘nice evening dress’ seems redundant. I’m not sure if I should update my wardrobe with a couple of new holiday dresses or buy more cardigans and some wellies! What do you reckon I might need for an English staycation?!

<Ad - gifted product> Last time we went away Miles

<Ad - gifted product> Last time we went away Miles couldn’t walk, or run, or climb, or cause maximum havoc in milliseconds. (Don’t be fooled by the cherubic grin!) I’m sure our upcoming travels with a toddler are going to be a whole new ballgame compared to travelling with a baby last year, but at least I have the likes of the @micralite_ Sleep&Go Lite to make life easier. This lightweight travel cot and playpen is set up with one shake and folds down into a compact travel bag that will easily fit in the car boot. The padded sides and thick foam mattress add an element of safety and comfort for fast-moving tots and, if you’re not 100% sure it’s right for you, Microlite offer a 100-day money back guarantee when you make a purchase via their website. Are there any other toddler travel essentials you think we need for our road trip? ⠀
⠀
Ps If you’re planning a staycation with littler ones you’ll find the best baby travel items we swear by via the link in my bio. ⠀

Anyone else feel like their travel planning skills

Anyone else feel like their travel planning skills have gone a little rusty?! (My travel blogger pose certainly has 🤪) In a few weeks time we’ll be going on our first trip OF THE YEAR and while we won’t be going far for our little staycation, the current climate is making me think that the planning stage will be even more important now that we probably need to pre-book certain attractions and restaurants, plus research how to avoid areas that may be too hard to social distance in. Our plans will be cautious, flexible, far less ambitious than usual and subject to cancellation should it be unsafe to go anywhere, BUT, my goodness, does it feel good to be making some. Once I’ve figured out how to do it, would anyone like me to share my process for putting together a travel itinerary during the pandemic? #travelblogger #travelplanning #ukstaycation

<Ad> What comes to mind when you think of Singapore? ⠀
⠀
As it was the last destination we visited before lockdown, the last time we were lucky enough to open the curtains and see a street we don’t live on, we woke up to a view like this in Joo Chiat. So Singapore is ingrained in my mind at the minute as a pastel-hued row of heritage Peranakan shophouses and tastes like laksa and açai. (Swipe right to see the last delicious thing I ate from An Acai Affair Katong before flying home!) ⠀
⠀
Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing more about the unexpected wonders of this ‘city in a garden’. Stay tuned for details on green spaces and green initiatives, the best things to do in multicultural enclaves like Joo Chiat and Little India, plus news on the SG Clean initiative that is raising hygiene and cleanliness standards of public spaces even higher in order to give visitors peace of mind when international travel resumes in future. ⠀
⠀
What do you look forward to doing most in Singapore one day?⠀

What a treat to have a place like this virtually t

What a treat to have a place like this virtually to ourselves. When we arrived at the Rose Garden in The Savill Garden this weekend there was no one else around. Miles made the floating walkway his playground while I literally got lost in the maze-like rows of roses. We’d never been to The Savill Garden at @windsorgreatpark before but lockdown has us appreciating open spaces like this, especially while visitor numbers are more limited. If you’d like to plan a visit you can book tickets online in advance for £12 per adult. Parking is free with a garden ticket and you can use toilet and takeaway facilities in the stunning Savill Garden building, subject to socially distanced queuing. #daysout #savillgarden #windsorgreatpark
