As soon as you board a plane you are very restricted when it comes to space. Remember when you used to travel alone, busy getting comfy in your seat only to realise that you would need your wallet for when you would be asked you if you wanted refreshments, you could simply stand up and nimbly extract your purse from your bag and sit back down all in the blink of an eye.

One of our Mums in Spain members shares her experience following her recent miscarriage. Although a sensitive subject to approach it is an unfortunate reality for some, and we hope that this thoughtful contribution from Sam will help anyone else who might be going through a similar situation.

Going away on holiday is the last thing on your mind when you’ve just had a baby. But, fact is, there will probably never be a better time. I’m not talking about straight after the birth. Of course, no one wants their first stop after the maternity ward to be Luton Airport at five o’clock in the morning. But once you’ve been home for a few weeks, and both you and the baby have got the hang of the whole feeding-changing-sleeping routine, it’s actually the perfect time to take that family roadshow out on tour.
