Venetia Falconer, presenter of Talking Tastebuds podcast, shares her tips for planning an eco-friendly staycation.
I’m of the opinion that when it comes to holidays, the UK has a lot to offer. This must mean one thing: I am getting old.
Seriously though, there are lots of great reasons to plan a UK staycation: no need to attempt to learn a new language, no pre-travel vaccines, no pre-flight-waking-up-on-the-hour-every-hour anxiety, no wondering how and why people ‘dress up’ for airports, no plane food, no flight emissions, and very little chance of sunburn.
If there’s one TV show that seems to soothe any Sunday Night blues, it’s Grand Designs. I recently introduced this programme to Max, and low and behold, we landed on an episode dedicated to treehouses. Since then, my man has been making no secret of the fact that he’d like to vacate to a treehouse. In anticipation of the perfect occasion for such an adventure – his 30th birthday – I found myself in the only place I knew how to make this happen… Ecosia.com. And then I found: Canopy and Stars.
