A cool new stay for Scotland’s wild peninsula

Nov 22, 2024 | thetimes.com | Gemma Bowes

There is something that the last fragments of the UK’s temperate rainforest and its ancient Celtic languages have in common: they survived only at the furthest edges of the land, the western parts of coastal Scotland, Wales and Cornwall (and the Isle of Man) that invaders didn’t reach, and mother tongues and Mother Nature clung on.
The stylish new way to experience this historic Balearic island

Sep 13, 2024 | thetimes.com | Gemma Bowes

Driving along narrow dirt lanes between the high dry-stone walls that separate the yellowing fields south of Ciutadella, we come to a halt before a gnarled wooden gate.

Our life-affirming family road trip through dunes and deserts

May 17, 2024 | thetimes.co.uk | Gemma Bowes

We had been on the road for more than six hours, on one of the most visually bombastic drives of our lives, when we realised we were in trouble. Looming on both sides of the car, the rocky Nubibberge and Tsarisberge mountains were darkening, and a candy floss sunset was creeping across the sky. Night was falling. This was not good. Hadn’t we had it hammered home at the car hire place in Windhoek that, so dangerous is it, we should not ever, whatever the circumstances, drive after dark?
