HAYLEY MATTHEWS is the teatime face of STV’S City channels.
She presents Live At Five on STV Glasgow and STV Edinburgh.
Hayley, 35, has been with the show for two years and spent four years before that on their Nightshift programme.
Hayley and fiance Kenny live in Edinburgh with their four-year-old son, Harris.
I THINK my all-time favourite foreign holiday has to be our first family break which was to Ibiza in 2014.
We stayed in a place called Es Cana on the outskirts of Santa Eularia as we wanted somewhere really quiet and peaceful. And it couldn’t have been more tranquil.
I know Ibiza has a reputation for clubbing and a party lifestyle but we found it the opposite, so laid-back and chilled.
My great grandmother was Spanish so I somehow always feel at home there and it’s the one place other than Scotland I’d think about living.
I also had a great time in Paris a few years back with my sister.
It was the ultimate girlie break of cocktail bars and shopping. Heaven.
And, of course, seeing all the main tourist things such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the Champs-Elysees.
The view from the top of the Tower just takes your breath away and I’d love to go back with Kenny and Harris so they could experience that, too.
But I think we sometimes forget what we have here on our own doorstep.
Kenny is from Loch Carron and I’d never been up there before but, oh, what a beautiful part of the world.
It gets a really mild climate and I couldn’t believe I was walking along a beach dotted with palm trees here in Scotland.
I know it has attracted films such as The Wicker Man and TV productions like Hamish Macbeth and I can totally understand why.
The foreshore of Loch Carron is gorgeous and the mountains are so grand they make you aware you are just a very small part of this world.
We’ve already been up north this year and are heading back during the summer.
But even when we’ve been in bad weather it doesn’t look any less appealing.
