New Years Day dip ✅ I don’t do resolutions, but New Years Day dip ✅ 

I don’t do resolutions, but I do like a plan. And something I want to plan more time for in 2026 is the sea. 

It’s a bit of an ask when we spend most of our time land-locked in Oxfordshire, but when we get time in Devon so want to be at this beach.

What are you planning for 2026? 

#newyearaday #2026planning #devon
2025 has been a bit of a wild one. There have been 2025 has been a bit of a wild one. There have been highs like I wouldn’t dare dream of three years ago. And lows that have left me utterly empty.

I spent a lot of December a bit muddled by it all and hanging on to my usual end of year post for the fear of making it look better or worse than it really was. 

But it all happened. Things I want to remember because they lift me up high and others I wouldn’t chose, but shaped the me going into 2026.

Thank you for following in 2025 and I’ll catch you next year!
Anniversary-ahoy! It’s 13 years since I started my Anniversary-ahoy! It’s 13 years since I started my travel blogging journey 🎉

Enjoy some of the bloopers from my camera roll this year 😆

Soooo much has changed since all this started in 2012. From the way the internet works to our family’s travels and the number of hairs on my chin. Hey there peri-menopause! 

What hasn’t altered is my love of writing and sharing information (and the odd rant) that I think people will relate to, find useful and enjoy. 

Thank you for all your likes, comments and DMs whenever I’ve popped up in your feed. Those little chats mean a lot.

I think the key to longevity on the internet is those real connections, not viral dance trends or clickbait. 

Having more than one blogging business has also helped diversify my income and justify the time I plough into creating new content for the interweb. 

I think what I’m trying to say is that there are no quick wins and I’m very much still in the race. 

In 2026 I intend to turn my attention back to the Tin Box Traveller website. It has taken a backseat while we moved back to the UK and I’ve been emptying my brain into my Oman Wanderlust site. 

I’ve still not written about this year’s trips to Malaysia, Thailand and the UAE, so blog posts about them are well overdue. 

As for our travels in the first of the teen years…it’s going to be all about the UK!

Tin Box Traveller enters its teen years tomorrow. Tin Box Traveller enters its teen years tomorrow. 13 has got to qualify me for the OG blogger club, right? 

And as an OG, I’m allowing myself a little moan about some of the things that ain’t what they once were.

Welcome to the intrusive thoughts that pop into my head each time I open my apps 🤓

I promise to share some more positive reflections tomorrow. 

OG moan over! Fellow OGs feel free to vent 😆

You know when you get to the end a month and think You know when you get to the end a month and think ‘I’m not sure what we did?’

November may not have been packed with the big adventures we’ve come to expect - last year we were swimming with turtles, camping on hidden beaches and digging our friends’ cars out of ditches in the desert. 

But my camera roll can’t lie. This November was full of UK-style mini adventures! 

📷 Our first bonfire night in three years 

📷 Hanging out in London with friends found in Oman

📷 Treating our Royal Python Lemonhead to a bath after a mite invasion in his vivarium. He’s a much happier chappy now 

📷 Riding lessons for the 10-year-old

📷 Meeting up with Laura from @littlepeople.bigadventures to plan our Oman partnership

📷 Throwing ourselves into the wintery school runs

📷 Getting Christmassy with the @performerpreneur family in Oxfordshire

📷 Shopping and cinema trips with my girls 

📷 Putting up our well-travelled Christmas tree - last decorated in Muscat 

📷 Catching the Candlelit Dartmouth lantern procession in Devon 

📷 Finishing off the month with a chilly sunrise dip at Blackpool Sands 

Now, on into the craziness of our first wintery Christmas since 2021! We’ve even got an elf. Send help!

[AD] Since arriving back in the UK, @milletsfarm i [AD] Since arriving back in the UK, @milletsfarm in Oxfordshire has been our go to for seasonal events, from its fun-packed maize maze to gourds galore at its pumpkin patch.

This weekend we were invited to experience the newest event in its calendar, the @illuminateoxfordshire winter light trail. 

We had a throughly festive evening seeing Millets in a totally new light. Here were our highlights:

🌷the tulip Field
🍄 the magical mushroom forest
🦆the illuminated lake
🌈 the laser walk

We finished up with a spin on the fairground rides and our first ever Yorkshire pudding wraps in the Alpin Village. How has this delicacy passed me by until now!?

Handy things to know about Illuminate: 

📆 Illuminate Oxfordshire is on until 4 January 2026 (excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day)

⏰ we completed the trail in 50 minutes, but it didn’t feel busy, so allow longer on weekends and in the school holidays, especially if you want some nice pictures

🍽️ There’s an Alpine Village at the end with food, drinks and undercover seating.

💷 Adults £17.50 | Children aged 3 to 16 £14.50 (plus online booking fees)

🥾 Wrap up warm and wear wellies. The route is a mix of graded tracks, woodland paths and boarded walks.

It’s National Day in Oman 🎉🇴🇲 And in a plot twist It’s National Day in Oman 🎉🇴🇲

And in a plot twist, because I’m always raving about how much we loved living there, I thought I use this most auspicious of days to spill the karak tea about what I don’t miss.

As you can see, I have very few pictures of me not enjoying these things, because I was too busy having a flipping good time! 😆

New on my @omanwanderlustcom website this week:

✍️ a guide to exploring the oldest part of Muscat, Mutttah 

✍️ what to buy at Muttrah Souq
