For our last family holiday together, we went to the Isle of Wight. The weather wasn’t great for most of our week but with sunshine forecast for our first full day, we decided to take Jessica and Sophie to the Needles Landmark Attraction. One of Jessica’s requests for our holiday was to visit the beach.… Read More

Spending time with cousins is such a special thing. Jessica always adored spending time with her cousins Ebony and Erin. She was so excited about them coming to visit in the Easter holidays.

Our family photo from the Gruffalo River Ride Adventure

I only found out by chance about the pre-season weekend for annual pass holders at Chessington. I was browsing the Chessington website to check the opening hours so we could plan a spring day out when I spotted something about it. What I didn’t realise was that the first wave of tickets was being released… Read More

I always like to book one special Christmas event for the children – one where they can get to meet Father Christmas whilst doing other activities, and generally having a magical day out.

We always enjoy a day out at Chiltern Open Air Museum. It’s such a nice place just to go for a walk and the historic buildings are always interesting too. I love the fact that the girls can get outdoors and explore while learning little things along the way. They can find out more about… Read More

Going ice-skating for the first time at Windsor on Ice

It’s been a long time since I last went ice-skating. The last time I went was shortly after hubby and I got engaged. His proposal had been somewhat spontaneous and spur-of-the moment so it was a few weeks after our engagement that I was given my engagement ring. It was the run-up to Christmas, and… Read More
