It's taken a little while, but it's finally here: our annual Hambleton family trip, open to everyone! I'm excited, and a little nervous! I won't deny it. I feel a great deal of responsibility. But I have the best partners to make this trip happen: Elisa Alday's boutique travel agency, Geográfica XXI, with 30 years of experience guiding trips around the world.

I don't want to pressure anyone, but there are so many of you (thank you) To those of you who have written to us since I announced I was working on this, I wouldn't want you to miss out if the dates and everything else really work for you. Reservations are made in strict order of payment (50% of the total) and are managed by Geográfica XXI.

In this link , you'll find the program in detail, and at the end, several pages with my answers to the most frequently asked questions from Instagram. For more information, please contact Geográfica XXI. They will be happy to answer all your questions: +34 91 391 0165 – elisa@geograficaxxi.es .

Once we have finalized the trip, I will welcome you to my studio to tell you more details about what we are going to see, and together we can better prepare the trip.

I'm thrilled. This part of England, for me—and I say this with all my heart—is paradise. My paradise.

I'm looking forward to seeing you.
