A view of Baby Bay looking from the sea

A beach trip is a rare event for us as we’re at least 90 minutes’ drive from the nearest one. We made sure we got a beach trip in though during our recent holiday in Cornwall. Baby Bay (or Pentireglaze Haven as it’s officially known) was recommended to me by a friend who lives in… Read More

Iver Environment Centre is a bit of a hidden gem, just off the road going from Slough to Uxbridge. We first visited it a few days before Thomas was born and it’s become one of our favourite places to visit. During the school holidays, they have family fun mornings and afternoons with craft sessions as… Read More

It’s been so good to see things beginning to open up again over the last few weeks, and to start taking steps towards normality again. Fun fairs are one of the things that can now reopen. Sophie had spotted the signs for one being held near us over the bank holiday weekend, so we headed… Read More

As a family, we’re often at our happiest when out and about on an adventure together. Like everyone else, we’ve been very limited with our outdoor adventures but with restrictions easing, it was lovely to be able to book some days out at a couple of our favourite places. Cliveden is our favourite out of… Read More

This time of year, we’d normally have lots of festive days out planned. This year though, the calendar is looking very empty without the usual Christmas events. We did have one day out booked in though – the Christmas weekend event at Chiltern Open Air Museum.     Chiltern Open Air Museum is one of… Read More

A Treasure Trail is a great way of exploring an area and making a family walk more interesting. We’ve done a few different ones now and always enjoy doing them. Our most recent one took us on a walk around Datchet, hunting for clues along the way.     The trails are all self-guided and… Read More

After-school adventures at Langley Park

With the evenings drawing in and the weather becoming colder and greyer, staying indoors is often more appealing than heading out for an after-school adventure. On days when there is autumn sunshine though, the call of the outdoors becomes irresistible. We made the most of one of those beautiful autumn afternoons and headed over to… Read More
