Villas not Hotels are where the Jet Set Holiday

1 week ago | thetravelmagazine.net | Natasha Blair

Made famous in the '50s by the actress Brigitte Bardot, this little bit of France is still known for attracting the rich and famous. With its shops along the quay, super yachts moored in the harbour, and designer shops in the back streets St. Tropez itself is 'the' chic place to chill out on the Côte d'Azur. A paradise for those who can afford it, instead of staying in hotels, the more affluent, particularly during the peak seasons of July and August, rent villas with family and friends.

Ich bin Ende 60 und alleinstehend: Ich bereue es, keine Kinder zu haben

Jan 7, 2025 | businessinsider.de | Natasha Blair

Als ich erwachsen wurde, hatte ich nie das Gefühl, dass die Ehe etwas für mich wäre. Ich wollte Kinder, machte mir aber Sorgen darüber, was die Leute – und meine Eltern – denken würden, wenn ich eine alleinerziehende Mutter wäre. Jetzt bin ich Ende 60 und mein einziger Begleiter ist mein flauschiger Hund Poppy. Ich bin Ende 60 und kinderlos, dabei hätte ich gerne eine Familie.
I'm in my late 60s, and I'm single with no kids. I have grief about not being a grandma.

Jan 4, 2025 | businessinsider.com | Natasha Blair

Growing up, marriage was never a thing that felt like it was for me. I wanted kids, but worried about what people — and my parents — would think if I was a single mom. I'm now in my late 60s and my companion is my fluffy dog Poppy. I've had a great life as a travel writer exploring the world. I've been to more places than most people have ever dreamed of visiting. On my travels, I'd often look at children's clothes and wish I had someone to buy them for.
The Starlight Auditorium at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre

Dec 16, 2024 | thetravelmagazine.net | Natasha Blair

Andrew Lloyd Webber's updated Starlight Express is a spectacular show for Christmas or indeed anytime you want an energetic vibe. Loud music, strobe lighting, and lots of action with the performers all on roller skates. Starlight Express is all about trains, and carriages, and there's a love story too. Rusty falls in love with Pearl, the first-class carriage, portrayed by a small pretty, long blond-haired lady.
The Albion Hotel in Freshwater Bay, Isle of Wight

Sep 23, 2024 | thetravelmagazine.net | Natasha Blair

Following a six-million-pound refurbishment programme and with new owners, the Albion in Freshwater Bay, on the lovely Isle of Wight, provides a much-needed stylish, dog-friendly seaside hotel to the South coast of the Isle of Wight. The highlight is the location of their restaurant the Rock which can't be beaten. With floor-to-ceiling windows on a promontory jetting out onto the bay, the sea appears to be just a few feet away.
House Of Gods. Glasgow's Most Decadent Hotel.

Jul 8, 2024 | tripreporter.co.uk | Natasha Blair

Promoted as the place where decadence meets debauchery, Natasha Blair visits House of Gods to find out what it’s really like. A fun place to visit with a loved one or someone you want to get to know, the House of Gods is decorated for a seductive dalliance and is definitely a hotel for couples. From the outside, the building is a nondescript brown stone but stepping through the front door, the lighting is subdued and sultry. A cocktail bar/lounge is on either side of the reception desk.

Americana London Restaurant. Enjoy Authentic Southern American Soul Food.

Mar 10, 2024 | tripreporter.co.uk | Natasha Blair

Natasha Blair enjoys great entertainment while eating soul food at Americana London Restaurant. Southern American Soul Food has arrived in Central London at the Americana London Restaurant on London’s Haymarket and with it, entertainment. Background music can often be irritating and sometimes too loud or intrusive. Somehow live music is different, and when it’s good, it contributes to making your evening special. The Americana fills both these criteria.
The Isle of Man, a UNESCO Biosphere known for its sustainability

Mar 10, 2024 | silvertraveladvisor.com | Natasha Blair

By Natasha Blair Surrounded by the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man, known as Manx, has biosphere status, and is small enough to explore in one visit – although there is so much to see and do that it left me wanting to return. The island is just thirty-two miles long and fourteen wide and although part of the British Isles, governs itself. A highlight of the year, taking place in the summer, is the TT motorbike races which take place on the roads at speeds of over 200 mph.
